So we have some older Buff Orpingtons and a mix of Cochins (buff, blue, silver laced, and barred) on the farm... But the other day a family member came home with new chicks from TSC. I can't figure out what they are, can you help? Maybe Red Sex Link or Rhode Island Reds? Thank you! PS- I...

Today as I was riding down the dirt road on my tractor, my neighbor stopped me. He apologized that the lady was rude to me and told me she was crazy. He also said he is going to encourage her not to do anything, but that if I need to talk with her and be stern I may do so. We shook on it, I'm...

Thank you! And yet another tool to use - the media. I will look into this... How would I go about doing this though?

I have spoken to the owners, I've made them aware of this. They told me they needed to buy her falconer gloves so she did not injure herself on their property. So, lo and behold... she now has gloves! They do not seem to mind her doing this, of course they don't have chickens - instead they...

That's a good idea, I will definitely do that next time I see it. Yeah, we have an active German Lab, I am looking into getting a rooster (we just have some in our family who refuse to eat fertilized eggs), and we do have some patches of dense underbrush (as well as a trailer to hide under) -...

Well, I'm not sure what it was then... I do know it was a large raptor, the same type the lady was trying to coax out of the tree to feed in her hand. I also know that the hawks I have seen her feed, they have killed my chickens (I've seen it with my own two eyes.).
