    Opossum

    Trying to insult someone? A simple “oh, thank you, but I’m not planning on shooting the owl ... or something like that would have been sufficient. Quote Thumper (Bambi) “If you don’t have nothing nice to say, Don’t say nothing at all.”

    Opossum

    If you think it not important if you end up in jail or not for shooting a bird of prey ... ok It’s one thing to do it quietly on your property, but seems a risk to me, openly posting it on the internet. Didn’t know if you were aware of that. That’s all.

    Opossum

    Hm, yeah. That’s what I thought. Guess the best thing is just to “critter-proof” our chicken coops and pens as good as we can. Hey, the predators have to live too. I don’t mind loosing a chicken here or there to wild life. But I had neighbors jack Russel’s tear my pen open twice and kill...

    New To Show Rabbits

    My rabbits get manapro show and timothy hay. Both free choice. Always make sure the have fresh clean water. But you probably know that. But on the food, ask 10 different people, and you are likely to get a bunch of different answers, everyone swearing by what they feed. If your rabbits do...

    Duck adoption available

    Have you tried putting up a note at bulletin board at local feed stores? Or, a flock swap? One of our “local” (30 miles up the road) feed stores has a monthly flock swap. Or, you could put an add in the “penny-safer / steals & deals” paper (if you have one), they are usually free.

    Hen attacked by owl

    Chicken are pretty tough. I had one chicken, which got attacked by a neighbor’s jack russel, and the dog almost skinned her alive. The skin was pulled back from her neck all the way down her back. I cleaned it, pulled it back, and secured the skin with some ductape (no kidding - that’s all I...

    Opossum

    Did something wrong, so here my post again: Aeh, not sure where you live, but here it’s illegal to kill any bird of prey. Very high fine, and/or prison, and confiscation of your guns. I would be careful posting something like that openly on the web. Just wondering.

    New To Show Rabbits

    Didn’t know we peep rabbits here too, but what the heck. If your buck is smaller then the doe, you shouldn’t have any issues. Depending on the breed, they can get pregnant as early as about 3.5 month off age. I wouldn’t recommend breeding any rabbit until they are at least 6-8 month old. As...

    Hen attacked by owl

    Your hen was lucky then. And that was one bold owl. Screech owls are small, a bigger owl would have carried her off. I’ve lost several chickens in the beginning to different predators. The surviving chicken learned, and taught the offspring. As result, I haven’t lost any in a very long time...

    Hen attacked by owl

    Yes, probably recovering from the shock. Do you know what kind of owl?

    What am I?!!

    Agree. Nothing wrong with a mix breed! Every one is unique.

    What am I?!!

    Your hen kinda looks like one of mine. Bought it as ameraucana, but turned out to be an easter-egger, so mixbreed (that in my case lays tinted eggs).
