    Am I over-reacting about my Neighbor and his dog who ate my chick? (kinda a lengthy vent)

    You must be somewhere other than the United States, as there is no constitutional right to property in this country. Please familiarize yourself with said document before you consider voting in the United States. Also if you ever move to the States, there is nowhere here where there is not at...

    Am I over-reacting about my Neighbor and his dog who ate my chick? (kinda a lengthy vent)

    I have to side with the uncle here. Sorry, but if you cared about your chickens like they are your children or something, they would not have been accessible to hawks and loose dogs or cats. Channel the energy you have loving your chickens and build them a protected run and a chicken tractor...

    Are packing 'peanuts' safe? *Need answer!*

    Sorry to bump an old thread but I would like to say that I have eaten corn starch packing peanuts before. My chickens enjoy them. On one occasion, one of my friends potted a plant in soil that I had made using styrofoam balls about the size of a pea instead of perlite. The plant somehow...

    Help me understand raccoon problems and other nocturnal predator issues

    Raccoons often prove to be smarter than one would think. They have been known to pull out staples that secure chicken wire, dig deep holes to gain access, figure out complicated latch systems, etc. They sometimes travel in packs and help each other do stuff.

    urgent help with raccoons trapped loose in coop

    You should roast the raccoon and feed it to your chickens.

    Good call LeslieB. He loves his tree. One time, he wass in it and some tree guys came to prune the tree. He sat there the whole time as they pruned off all the foliage leaving him rather exposed. Would not budge for an instant. I will be building him a "quarantine" cage today. Any...

    Enlisting the stud services of a feral rooster

    Indigosands- good advice, but I really want to breed this guy. There were about 30 wild chickens in my hood after katrina, and there are now only four. The one near my house lives in the wild roosting in a tree even when it is freezing cold and raining. I have seen a bunch of threads on this...

    Enlisting the stud services of a feral rooster

    Thanks Pele and others. How is the best way to trap him though? I will try to get pics of all the roosters in my hood soon so i can get advice on the best breeding stock. He is not currently visiting my flock, because I keep them contained (they have about 2 feet by 12 feet indoors and 4 feet...

    Enlisting the stud services of a feral rooster

    I live in Uptown New Orleans and I have six chickens. I have two white rock roosters, one white rock hen, and three red star hens. They are about 12 weeks old. I want to breed them when the time comes, however, I do not want to have a rooster as I already have unfriendly neighbors. I am...
