    Blue Copper Marans Question

    OK sounds good so far, but what about the copper part? I've seen all blue hens and blue copper hens. It's the blue copper that I'm really wanting. How does that factor in?

    Blue Copper Marans Question

    If I get hatching eggs from Marans that are Black, Blue, and Splash running in the same breeding pen what are the odds that I will get any Blue Copper chicks? I am having trouble understanding the genetics of this. I just know they are beautiful and I want some! If I understand right...

    Free Ranging Question

    I have a flock of about 25 birds that are around 5 months old. They have been in a closed run their entire lives. I would like to let them out from time to time to free range but don't know if they'll come back to the run. Do you think they'll come back at feeding time? How do I do this?

    alternative weapons that will kill a coyote/racoon/opossum...?

    If you'd feel more comfortable with a single shot, get it. One well placed shot is better than a hundred 'spray and prays'. A yote won't stand around while you shoot at him more than once, you'll be lucky to get him to stand still for that ONE shot. Plus, .22 may not be the best caliber to...

    alternative weapons that will kill a coyote/racoon/opossum...?

    Every new gun I've bought in the last 10 years has come with a trigger lock included. If you buy a gun second hand that doesn't have one you can get one for little to nothing. And I agree with yotetrapper: pellet gun + coyote = mad coyote, unless it's a PERFECT shot up close, in the head...

    Big Time Coon Problem!!

    Quote: Probably closer to 0 that HE actually killed. Meanwhile who knows how many people had body damage to their cars/trucks from those MN coons, some of which push 30-35 lbs. Not to mention if anyone swerved to miss one... They DO love peanut butter, though. How about valuing people and...
