I shot one yesterday that had killed 4 of my birds. Took me a month to get it done. They are very sly...stay after him...cause he sure will.

Thought we had one coon last summer...turns out there were 7. You must dispatch them or they just keep coming back...they won't stop.

Made a gigantic rookie mistake and introduced some new Easter Eggers into our flock without quarantine. Long story short, all birds had to be destroyed after an aggressive respiratory disease took hold, introduced by the new birds. The culling was advised by our vet when two rounds of...

She lays big brown eggs. She's so spooky that it's hard to get closer to get a good pic. We've had her for months, and she's still really nervous acting.

Local guy gave her to us. She's a brown egg layer. She's super spooky and shy...even after several months. Just curious what she is. Thanks for any replies.
