    4 Month mystery bird, hen or rooster?!?!

    Thanks everybody, I had a feeling from day one it was a cockerel. Luckily I know where this individual lives and he told me I could bring it back if it turned out to be a roo. Not sure if he was trying to pull a fast one or just ignorant, he seemed pretty new to chickens as well. Thanks again!

    What got my girls?

    Thanks everyone. There are so many dogs in my neighborhood, who knows who the culprit could be. I guess my next door neighbor's black labs are the prime suspects. Here's a pic of the newbies I got to keep the soul survivor company.

    What got my girls?

    Three out of my four hens were killed while my wife and I were out of town. Father-in-Law was supposed to be locking the coop at night, but I have a sneaking suspicion he didn't. My brother in law found them in the morning in different areas of my yard, the carcasses were found intact not a...

    Wire mesh on Coop Run floor to keep out nasty chicken eaters?

    I'm no expert, but that's pretty much what I did. Wrapped the whole run with hardware cloth including the floor of the run. I just covered it with some dirt and it doesn't seem to bother them. Haven't had any problems with predators, but I wouldn't consider my half acre to be in the country...

    My dog is eating the chickens poop

    We eventually had to fence off an area for the chickens because not only did our little Cassidy like to eat the poop, but she enjoyed the aroma so much she would cover herself in it, needless to say the chickens free ranging days were numbered after DW had to scrub the pup for a week.
