    MISSOURI ! ! !

    Quote: Hmmm, depends. Why are you currently chickenless? How many do you want? I'll think about it.

    ChickenCanoe, I'm probably about an hour and a half north of you. Need a Black Bantam Buff Cochin rooster? hehehe - Scott

    Will Human Urine deter a fox???

    Nope, won't work. I pee outside all the time, and it doesn't keep coons or foxes either one away. Foxes are pretty smart, and will keep coming back earlier and earlier if need be until they get a chicken dinner. You're going to either have to lock your flock down like Fort Knox, or shoot that...

    pheanants and chickend???

    Because they can actually cross-breed, and the offspring are completely sterile. I've never read of anyone considering them tasty or profitable either.

    Yahoo! i'm moving to a 550 acre farm!

    Quote: Exactly. I'd like to volunteer to help you with your pheasant problem as well. And your prairie chicken problem, and your grouse problem, and your quail problem, and your elk/moose problem... hehehehehe

    Yahoo! i'm moving to a 550 acre farm!

    Make sure you get something cold hardy, like Buff Orpingtons (my personal favorite), or Buckeyes. Mom and her brother and sister inherited 160 acres in North Dakota that was homesteaded by my great, great grandfather. I'll be coming up that way some time to hunt. I'd buy a chunk of it off...

    Show me peeps from the "Show Me State"!!!!

    yeah, that's the one in silex. We won't make it to this one, but may make it to the next one. Our local farm supply will have chicks this week, so we're saved! I'm going to pick up a few buff orpingtons, a few banties, and maybe even a few cornish-rockcross just to see how they do.

    I Hate Wild Dogs!

    Got a rifle or shotgun? Wild dogs of any sort are nothing to mess with, they don't have the fear of man that coyotes do, which makes them dangerous. If I had your problem, and needed a good all purpose rifle that could handle wild dogs and coyotes, I'd pick up a .223 bolt action. Savage and...

    Show me peeps from the "Show Me State"!!!!

    If none of Mongo's eggs hatch, I still might be interested in purchasing a few. She was absolutely determined to be broody... we tried taking eggs away... we tried putting her in a wire cage... but she's one determined Cochin. Granted, this is my first real broody hen, but I think at this...

    Well, we were without electricity for about 20 hours...

    Quote: Good idea, and I've used a car for backup power before when my power was out for a whole weekend... didn't have an incubator to power though. What you can also do is get one of those portable jump starter/compressor/Inverter power packs. Everybody ought to own one anyway, mine has...

    Show me peeps from the "Show Me State"!!!!

    We're right by Louisiana, Missouri. Anybody got any chicks hatching this week? We're looking for a few extras, I've got a broody sitting on some eggs, but I think only 2 stand a chance of hatching. It would be nice to all meet up at a Missouri swap sometime!

    Want newly hatched chicks by Thursday the 18th - St Louis or Hannibal

    Is anybody near St Louis MO, Pittsfield IL, or Hannibal MO going to be hatching this weekend or next week? Want to sell a few baby chicks? We have a broody hen who will be hatching Wednesday and after candling only two of her eggs look like they stand a chance of making it. If they don't...

    Lincoln County Livestock Auction (MO)

    The wife and I would like to go to that sometime soon. Problem is, we need some baby chicks by this wednesday or thursday, so it'll be no help to us! Doh! We'll be going sooner or later though.

    Any way to catch or kill a hawk....suggestions

    Quote: Completely your opinion. Falconry is a time honored tradition, and (if you read a post or two after your original post to the falconer who posted) not some sort of evil life-long slavery for the raptor involved. Do you think it's cruel when the falcons hunt in the wild? If not, why is...

    Any way to catch or kill a hawk....suggestions

    Quote: They trap the birds in the wild. Trust me, I know at least a half dozen falconers. None of them got their red tailed hawk at Petsmart. They are not falconers they are criminals. According to the terms of their permit they may only be in possession of captive-bred raptors. They're...

    Any way to catch or kill a hawk....suggestions

    Look up any falconry clubs or falconers in your area or state. Even if you call a State-level club, they'll know somebody reasonably close to you. Folks with a Falconry license can trap a hawk and keep it to hunt with, or relocate it. I have a buddy with a falconry license I'm going to get to...

    Your choice on how many Silkie Eggs you want!

    Btw, are they bantams? If I get the wife a few Silkies, we would prefer bantams.

    Your choice on how many Silkie Eggs you want!

    I'd love to, but I haven't had time to construct an incubator yet... and the wife will be away from home around the time they'd hatch (and the silkies are gonna be for my lovely wife)! In a couple weeks maybe 6 eggs??

    What's your favorite gun?

    Quote: What kind of 22? You'll never forget your first one, keep it properly oiled up and cleaned (invest in good cleaning equipment), and you'll probably be passing it on to your grandkid someday.
