Chickens in a Florida winter...what to do?
I've read up some on what to do for my chickens during the winter months. However, I live in Florida where as we all know, it doesn't get very cold.

Weasels!
Two days ago, I woke up to find two of my chickens (who I raised from chicks) had been attacked and eaten. The culprit? A weasel. I set a humane trap last night, but of course, the weasel found a way to get through it. I was wondering if anyone else has had problems with weasels and if there is...- xheatherrr3
