    Any elk hunters? Could use some tips...

    And i would guess mostly pine, maybe some small groves of aspens? I honestly havent ever been to this unit ever. Still cracks me up that its area 51... And as far as odds I would say its fairly easy to get a tag there. Its got like 250 available for this hunt, but in NM it has gotten so dang...

    Any elk hunters? Could use some tips...

    Sorry so long... Its area 51 in NM. Northern Part of the state, which from what I have seen is probably very similar to the southern habitat of CO... It is in early November, and it is a rifle hunt. From my deer hunting experience in past years with a bow, I think they are usually bugling in...

    Albuquerque Speckled Sussex Rooster in need of a home! Super Mellow Guy!

    We are new to chicken keeping, and raised (and pampered) this guy from a day old. Unfortunately we picked a rooster out of the bin... My wife and I are not too keen having to candle eggs and such or heaven forbid, crack one open with a developing chick inside as we both have memories of that...

    Dog Vs. Hardware cloth...

    I also forgot to mention that my little dude was so torn up by the entire ordeal that I just went and got him some new babies to help with the hurt... So he chose three black sex link/ black star chicks, and the funny thing is he named one of them "sabbath" As in black sabbath the band who at...

    Dog Vs. Hardware cloth...

    Sorry to all with questions... I am not the quickest at getting back to check. Apologies. Anyway I will address the questions now so youre not hanging too long I hope. First, Yes the dog did indeed pull poor "Waffles" through the hole where she was consumed mostly by her and our wolfhound...

    Dog Vs. Hardware cloth...

    Thanks guys for the advice. I am still frustrated as heck this morning, but I do feel a bit better at least. I suppose I will let the dog live... :) while trying to go to sleep last night I was thinking of lining the bottom three feet of my beautiful coop with corrugated. Roofing stuff.as the...

    Chicken Run Predator Proofing

    Sorry to hear of your loss... It really is a terrible thing to go through. We found out firsthand today how that feels. We have two dogs and both are very sweet girls. One rottwieler/shepherd cross and a wolfhound cross. The rotty cross tore a giant hole through our hardware cloth today and...

    Dog Vs. Hardware cloth...

    Just kind of a heads up for the coop builders. We lost a pullet today to our big mutt dog (rottwieler/shepherd x) who just couldnt help herself... We thought that she might have and be a problem with the new chickens and tried our best to build our coop STURDY. Apparently not sturdy enough...

    Any elk hunters? Could use some tips...

    Our draws in NM came in today, and I found that I got chosen for a cow elk hunt in northern NM... I have gone once before and ended up being harrased with drones, atvs, trucks, and a helicopter driving all of the elk onto the ranchers land as they get like @$10k for their permits they get to...

    Non-roosting chicks?

    Thank you all for the tips and advice. They have weathered their first few nights out there, and seem to be liking the space they have now. However, my two rotten doggies are continually trying to breach the run to have a chicken dinner and my wolfhound cross (the smart one) managed to peel...

    Non-roosting chicks?

    I have 2 BO, and 2 SS chickens now about 8 weeks old. My question as a first timer is this: They have never been inclined to use the roosting stick in the brooder, and now that they are going out for their first night I wouldn't put money on them using the nice roost in the coop either... Is...

    First night in the coop

    Hang in there! Mine just went out for their first night tonight too! I feel very confident in the structural integrity of my hand built coop. Our girls and boy were outside all day running around doing chicken things. My worry is really about our dogs getting into the run. We locked them in...

    My brooder caught on fire

    Glad to hear it all was caught in time! I have mine in my shower inside the house and I fear every day on the trip home from work that I will see firetrucks in front of my house. I have the hardware cloth over the top, and the lamp is attached by wire to the shower bar so at least if it comes...

    Our first escapee

    Looks similar to my experience... Ours are in a giant plastic tub in the shower with open top. I came home and went in to check on them and see one of my 2wk old buffs is standing in the sink looking at me. Guess she got enough lift to get out, get onto the toilet, and then get up into the...

    CUTEST BABY CHICK NAMES!!!!!

    We have 2 buff orps, and 2 speckled sussex. My seven year old named them within an hour of coming home. The buffs are known by "Selma" and "Waffles" Both of the sussex have gotten their names changed after 2 weeks. Originally they went by "Queen Meanie" and "Chicken Little" Queen meanie has...
