what cam is that, great quality photos. sorry for you loss, we lost 3 guineas two night ago i'm assuming by a racoon, one was beheaded, one was de winged, and the other was just mauled, the three carcasses were still in the cage. we had them in a wire dog kennel as they were too small to put...

we have a ditch that runs accross our property about 60 ft into the woods behind our coop. there usually isn't any water in it, unless we get rain which we have the past two days. We are in south east virginia.

nice, I'll definatly have to give that a try. There are a few piles of branches and debris that were here when we moved in, I need to get all that cleared out, get rid rid of the covering.

This is our first venture with chickens so we have a bit to learn. We have one rooster that is about 3 months old, most of our hens are right around the same age as we got them all together. we bought two Bantams at the same time that were older (about a month). today the rooster started...

In the morning our kids usually go out an open up the coop, we free range the flock, no enclosed run. My wife woke up to the sound of the flock going nuts, i looked out the window and saw a dog with a hen pinned to the ground. my wife yelled at the dog and it took off i grabbed the 22 and...
