    We have Boston Terriers so I am familiar of needing to watch the large birds as well when they were babies. We also have Coyotes, coydogs, owls, Bald Eagles, hawks, racoons, and weasels here... Good luck with your hatch as well! Please update when your chicks hatch!

    Thoughts on Scratch & Peck food... worth the price?

    I have been searching the site for info on feeding our chicks in the future. We have 9 babies coming the first week of May from Mt. Healthy - we will go pick them up on May 7th.
