    Coyotes :(

    I'm not upset what-so-ever. I have loyal, protective dogs... not much of a threat to a pack of coyotes. Nah, I've built my tri-pods, got my hooks and 1/8" cable.....I'm going coyote fishing!

    Dogs scared off a Coyote

    They will be back... now that they know where the dinner table is, they will find an avenue to it...And, will try to take out your goats, dogs, chickens or whatever else is available (including small children, if you have any around). Don't go around the problem... eliminate it. Download a...

    Coyotes :(

    The "idea" resulted from your previous post... I mentioned my 18 month old grand daughter, and you suggested electric fencing. But in the quoted post you say "the op does not have small children, or else would not have recommended it" . I'm very familiar with the various types of electric...

    Coyotes :(

    Seriously??!! ... You willingly promote a product that could potentially kill a child... But readily voice your obvious issues with (what you view) as inhumane ways to eliminate a predator that could kill that same child?? Excuse me, but there is something terribly wrong with that train of...

    Coyotes :(

    I suppose that could be an option if I were trying to "capture".....The death of these vermin is my objective, so really, I suppose either would work. I'm just going to shoot them anyway.

    Coyotes :(

    Well, I suppose that's a subjective term, and to each their own. My grandkids love to go out and visit and play with the chickens and, electric poultry fencing would not only give them a jolt, but it also goes around the problem (they WILL be back when hunger sets in). But, to be perfectly...

    Coyotes :(

    Having somewhat recently had a coyote walk up into my yard at 3:00 pm within 30 yards of my wife and 18 month old granddaughter (not a lot bigger than the roo), playing in the yard, and snatch one of my BR roosters. I must say, I'm a bit intrigued with coyote fishing idea. These critters are...

    'S' - shaped head shaking

    I acquired a 2-1/2 year old RIR roo today.... he seems to be in good health other than an 's'-shaped head shake that he seems to do about every 5 - 10 minutes. Additionally, I noticed some "yawning" (or "gaping") once or twice also. I have him quarantined from the other birds and will be...

    Help needed in identifying some tracks by my coop

    Most definitely canine. Toe shape with notable non-retractable toenails are indicative of this. Certainly bigger than any coyote track I've seen. we don't have wolves here ...yet ... but wolf or dog would be my guess.

    What kind of sand is okay for chicken run?

    I use sand in my coop and run and it works great for me... But it won't keep it dry if water run-off issues are not corrected (assuming that's the issue).... You'll just have wet sand.

    What is this ???

    Looks to be a mink...I've trapped a lot of them here in central Va. in past years.

    What did this to my beatiful Austrolorp? (graphic pics)

    Regardless of what it was (although I'm going with possum)... the obvious solution for any future losses is better protection against potential ground and/or airborne predators. if you allow free ranging without supervision (as many of us do), at some point there's going to be a loss. That's...

    If you had to choose one ... ??

    That's a handsome bird!! I currently have a BR roo and 4 hens... although I dont think that my birds bars are nearly as tight as this guys.

    My rooster is watching me....

    ...puffed out but never tries anything. I think he's just trying to show off for the girls as if to say, "look at me ladies!...I could kick this guys ***** if I wanted...But I just don't feel like it right now!! so I won't". Overall he's a really good rooster now. With previous roos I gave back...

    If you had to choose one ... ??

    Just out of curiosity .... If you were to choose a single heritage breed, which would you choose and why?

    Running Electricity to the coop question?????

    I ran 12/2 w/ground direct burial (but still used the 3/4" cpvc conduit as an added measure of protection. Four incandesents and six outlets looped off of a GFI (running water heaters, tolls, etc.), and all off of a 20 amp breaker. No issues.

    Hawk Predation

    I have obtained permission on several occasions in past years to destroy raptors molesting livestock. Gawildlife is correct, and I neglected to include that rather PERTINENT bit of information..... One must first obtain the permit from DGIF, and then may be taken when in the "act of molesting...

    My PVC "True Auto" Waterer

    I've been debating a similar system for some time now, purchased the nipples but they leaked terribly on the prototype. I'd be curious to know how well they work in freezing temps. I can see a warmer keeping the water in the reservoir thawed, but how do you keep the water in the 3/4" sections...

    'Totally' Waste Free Bucket Feeder

    Nice! I'll be building one or two this weekend. My younger birds are terrible for wasting feed. Thanks for the information.
