    First attack

    Thanks for all the replies. I’ve been researching from premier1supplies.com. Has anyone used them? I didn’t realize that TSC sells the poultry netting. This wouldn’t be my first time with electric fence. I have pigs but I use just 2 strand wire for them. What I don’t understand is how does...

    First attack

    so my flock suffered its first attack today. Right in the middle of the day. The Fox was attacking my pekin duck. Some how she is still alive but I doubt she will make it. I still haven’t found one duck but the rest of my flock is now locked up in the coop. I have let my flock free range from...

    Resting period

    Thanks. I appreciate it. It would seem to me if you just put the chicken in without being sealed in a bag it would dry out.

    Rooster or Hen?

    Thanks for the feedback. My apologies for the noob question... but what does barring mean? An yes I did get these at my local TSC. The hens are supposed to be Isa Browns and the rest (which could have been either rooster or hen ) are Rainbow Rangers. Which I’m not even sure what those are. My...

    Rooster or Hen?

    This is my first time with chickens and I’m trying to figure out what I have for roosters and hens. I got them in early September. I believe because of the size of the combs that 1, 2 and 7 are my only hens. Am I right or way off? Thanks for the help. No one is laying either.
