    Mystery Deaths

    The Brahma had a larger gash wound on the breast area. When I interrupted two hawk visits before, they had the birds ripped open and gruesome. I didn’t interrupt anyone this time and the wounds just weren’t that bad. Not ruling out a hawk, I guess I’ll never know. Wish I did! Those were my two...

    Mystery Deaths

    This is the current state of the backyard. Under construction with a pool and landscaping. Not a lot of cover or anything.

    Mystery Deaths

    I have never seen a mink. Which doesn’t mean they don’t exist, but again, we live in a highly populated area, and we have 3 dogs and a resident rabbit that frequents our backyard. We live in Columbia SC, specifically. This attack was around noon, which is a strange hour for several common...

    Mystery Deaths

    Our girls loved to free range, but that’s when we had all of the other attacks before yesterday so we quit letting them free range and built this enclosed run that has a good bit of coverage overhead but is open air nonetheless. We were letting them in this part only partial hours of the day. I...

    Mystery Deaths

    We had two deaths yesterday around Noon. Our fully grown Buff Brahma and Cinnamon Queen hens. Over the past year we’ve had a few other deaths. Two of them have definitely been hawks, and two others were less obvious (no one was caught, no one was devoured, one barely punctured and one not dead...

    What do you ask for a teenage roo that you want to go to a good home?

    Particularly, a blue splash cochin that is docile and almost 4 months old. Located in SC. What’s the going rate for a cockerel like this? I’m upset I have to get rid of him so I want him to go somewhere he’ll be taken care of. I have several folks interested in him but don’t know what to ask. I...

    BBS Cochin

    I’m new to Cochins, what gives it away? The feathering isn’t as obvious with the hackle/saddle feathers as the standards, and while I see the size of the comb and wattles, they seem to be less red than they seemed before, but is that just because of his light color?

    BBS Cochin

    9 weeks, BBS Cochin Really thought/still think this is a rooster. Does anyone have any doubts that it may be a pullet?

    Golden Laced Wyandottes + Dark Brahma M/F

    He’s a good boy. I’m so mad I can’t keep him. But! He’s got a home with me until he crows. 🥹

    Golden Laced Wyandottes + Dark Brahma M/F

    Integration question? (Silkie+babies)

    Yes, actually she is somewhere around 3 weeks. I told my husband I wished I’d have thought of it sooner when she’d just started getting broody again. They would’ve only been around 2wks at the time, and I feel our silkie would’ve been in baby heaven. 😆 That’s a good idea, to have them a place to...
