    Utah!

    Hello Casa, I'm in SLC and can't seem to keep mediterranean birds alive. We have a mixed flock of brahma, barred rock, sussex, marans, and wyandotte.

    Relentless Hawk...Help!!

    Ya about the rifle thing shooting hawks isn't legal anywhere as far as i know, migratory waterfowl treaty etc. but penning them up for a couple weeks and then back to closely supervised ranging should be doable probably just a seasonal resident anyhow.

    Lost two pullets this week- What am I dealing with?

    Lots of hawks in new territory for the winter. If you're finding the remains at dusk when you run 'em into the coop i don't think it's a nocturnal predator. Somebody is finishing there meal by the light of day.

    Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat

    Ya crows like chickens, like to eat 'em. When I was a kid I had an uncle that had his chicken yard maybe a hundred yards from the house in remote northern ca. When a murder of crows saw there chance they'd come in and kill one and leave a sentry posted in a big cedar tree watching for a .22 out...

    16-20 week old Light Brahmas gender help!

    At her size I would think she has the least to worry about from a not very big hawk. The hawk has made one tentative run at the girls was very nearly on a good size speckled Sussex. I wanted a big rooster to keep cats etcetera at bay,I didn't get it but she does seem to be the peacemaker in the...

    How did you cover your run?

    8'x10' half covered with corrugated asphalt roofing half with corrugated clear plastic roofing wasn't really that spendy since I didn't sheath it first just framed it. Sheds snow well at 6" in 12".

    Buttercup struggling to breath

    I am glad to here that buttercups are doing well in a colder climate than ours I felt kind of irresponsible even having the breed. They were all bought at the feed store without much research before hand.

    Buttercup struggling to breath

    The coop is well ventilated and well dusted with d.e. the house itself offers more shelter than the coop.Her comb had been looking lackluster for maybe a month, and she had molted all her neck feathers through August which seemed pretty odd they all hatched in February of this year. She and the...
