    Mystery Predator....

    Box* not boxes, my girls like just one box to lay in. So whatever went down went down in (or just outside) the box.

    Mystery Predator....

    Everyone is alright, there was one bird with blood on her but no injuries... All the eggs were covered in blood and blood spatters in and out side of the nesting boxes. My father in laws guess was a weasel trying to steal eggs and got a beating from the girls. Whatever it was I think my hens...

    Mystery Predator....

    Came home from the grocery store to all my hens running free. I keep an old pallet leaned against the doorway to the coop to keep my sheep out of the coop, the pallet was right were I left it. Inside the coop I found the gate latch bent (door opened inward) and wide open. I found a decent amount...

    [GRAPHIC PICS]What might have caused this? Do I need to cull them? First aid?[GRAPHIC PICS]

    We've had a similar injury to one of our birds from our dog. She's a 65 pound love machine with a horrible habit of playing too hard. First she loves the chase and when she would bite, she wouldn't bite down hard enough to puncture the skin but did take lots of feathers out.

    Roxy, my feather eating hen...

    My flock of 11 has one hen that eats feathers. She plucks the downy feather's off the other girls' behind and eat them! 2 of my hens are almost completely bald back there! Many of them have patches of missing feathers and I think she is the one behind it. I finally isolated her today I got tired...

    First timer with "meat birds"

    Well, it went exactly how I thought it would go. The first one was the hardest, I didn't think I would cry, but I did. My husband did the actual killing but our first one was the hardest of the 3, because he fought the most and twitched a lot afterward. I thanked all of them before we did...

    First timer with "meat birds"

    Well, our Roosters have reached 'that' point. My husband and I are going to be processing them this weekend. It's my first time but he does have experience from when he was younger. Anyway, we have 4. 2 are Barred Rock/Americana crosses. The other 2 are Americana/Jersey Giant crosses. How are...

    Help fox attack!

    I hope she perks up soon! My boys are doing alright, their wounds have scabbed over and they act like nothing has happened, they are troopers. I have a live trap set out nothing yet. If you're thinking about trapping there are some great videos on youtube on how to which are very informative. I...

    Trapping foxes

    I don't think it's politically incorrect either, I should have the right to protect my animals, livestock and farm. He took out a third of my flock in a matter of minutes, the day after I used one of the dead birds (tied and staked to the ground) and sat and watched from my rooftop hoping he'd...
