    Predators going THROUGH the fence

    We moved from CT, where we had chain link coop (chicken wire top), to FL where we have chicken wire panels all the way around. We have had everything from raccoons, skunks, and possums get in small openings, or pushing under, and killing birds. But for the first time ever, something tore...

    Have you tried Craigslist in the farm and garden section? You can post an "ISO" inquiry.

    My chickens suddenly aren't eating their pellets or crumbles

    Just ideas: Is the food frozen? Is it loose and free flowing? Do you have metal feeders? Perhaps their combs and wattles have gotten stuck (if wet), or burned from the cold.

    1588 hova bator but cheaper?

    I bought mine used (with egg turner) off craigslist. Do a search and keep a close eye. I'd check neighboring communities as well. I bought mine for under $100 and it works great. Or do you have Facebook swap n sell page for your town. You can also put up an ISO ad.

    rooster collars??

    Wow, what a shame to silence the roosters. I love the crowing. We are soon moving from our 31 acres in CT to 6 acres in FL. I sure hope we have no complaints! But if so, I will keep this method in mind. I love my roosters and would hate to give them up.

    Current predator problem solved. WARNING GRUESOME and sad.

    Why don't you call sheriff and report it. Dog owner owes you a lot of money. (Probably not enough, though, in my opinion). You were well within your right to destroy the killers of your livestock.

    Predator Attack: What Did This?

    How awful. So sorry for such a traumatic loss. You have my sympathy. I can't imagine a hungry wild animal leaving a bird kill to climb a fence to maul a pig. I would think a dog. But if the squealing of the pig was too tempting, I suppose a wild critter could be distracted. Do you have any...

    lack of feather development in month old chick

    I have at least 2 cockerals in the brood already that are feathered just like the rest. I can tell they are cockerals because their combs are developing and they spar with each other already. This one, who may be a boy, literally has NO feathers (except for some very underdeveloped pinion...

    lack of feather development in month old chick

    I have a brood of 7 blue/lavender Orp's being raised by a hen, that are about a month old. They are all pretty normal except one who is not feathering out. It is just getting pinion feathers now, but that is all. It is one of the later hatchlings, but they all are feathering out by now, nearly...

    HELP - Shell is off, but chick is like a mummy, encased in the dried membrane.

    It is still peeping, and has its beak sticking out, but can't seem to move. I hate to lose it. One chick that pipped at the same time this morning is now out and fine. These are under a hen. Can I moisten the encased chick? It is not real warm tonight, but this hen, an Orpington, just flattens...

    Crying... everything is dead. UPDATE POST #54

    So sorry for your loss. I can't imagine coming home to that. Your poor kids! I'm glad you put in a police report. It is on record now, at least. I lost about 15 chickens in one day this past summer. Ours free range during the day and we have lost a bird here and there, but NEVER 15 all at once...
