    I have three of the cockoo marans roosters, two of which are going to meet the freezer if I cannot find a good home. I will be driving up to Alb on the 21st and be happy to meet you somewhere with one.

    Official BYC Poll: The Worst Predator

    I actually lost five to javalinas. The chickens were free range and kept disappearing. This was a puzzle until I saw a javalina chasing them around the house. Put them in a large enclosure and the disappearing chickens didn't happen any more.

    Yay Chicks! : Pretty nifty. Does it get hot in the summer tho? Yes, in SW NM it can get toasty. I put a reflective tarp on the top of the trailer to reflect the sun's rays. The pen does have a juniper tree for shade and they love going under the trailer. I noted at least a 10 point drop in...

    Quote: What you can't see is all of the openings are covered in chicken wire. I need to re-do the back door. Had to open it and took off the security fence. My dad was helping. In his mind he was thinking "whatever", in my mind I was thinking maximum security and gave serious thought to...
