    Keep an eye on your hens for a day or two, I would suspect they have another nest that you have not found. When one sneaks off they all lay in the hidden nest.

    I,d put my money on something else either a fox or you are not seeing the hawk. My opinion is that the cat would eat them right there. I have never had a problem with cats on anything other than baby chicks

    DebD I,m thinking the little room is to store feed. In that case the metal floor was a mice deterent, not that a mice wouldn,t just go thru the wire. Danz you can move in next to me I always want somebody there for my projects,even if they just add a different perspective. I would probably...

    In my case he is predator watching but considers me a suspious character, my previous silky rooster did not consider me or the dog a threat. Another plus with previous rooster his crow was muffled like a juvenile learning to crow, neighbors never figured out what the noise was. Trish on...

    I have no personal experience but am hearing that turkens are super layers, and the last several leghorns I have owned have not been fidgety birds but as calm as the rest of the flock. I now have a silky rooster with my girls and he seems to make the flock as a whole more flighty

    sunny skies are nice but this old boy would prefer drizzle to ice or snow. I read every day but my life is more boring. I have taken 6 showgirls and 6 laying hens into winter and all are doing well
