    Demons, jerks, full on domestic terrorist. Yesterday I had 4 in the nest box and they all had yolk on them. I locked up my girls in hopes of them taking those buggers out. Today I got 10 eggs from 11 chickens. Darlin my RIR is molting so she's the hold out. I completely despise mice. What I...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    My husband's mother said that they were wild ladybugs 🥺. I tried to tell her that ladybugs are all wild and the ones that bite are Asian not Native. That's how bad it is with her because she's right ALL the time and EVERYBODY else is wrong. I have been bit by so many bugs, it's not funny. The...

    I have actually been out there to get the eggs and seen them scurrying away and out of the nest box.

    Official BYC Poll: What’s the most challenging part of chicken keeping for you during winter?

    I'm thankful for the fact that our temperatures don't usually get really low but on occasion they will and have. If it gets too cold I will go out and gather up all 11 chickens and 3 ducks for inside life. They would probably be put in the office/bedroom. I would definitely have some fans...

    Official BYC Poll: Who’s Your Worst Chicken Predator of All Time?

    I had a puppy that killed 1 chicken and 2 ducks. He's now gone. The stinking mice are eating my eggs before I can get them.

    Raising Baby Chicks: What’s Your Go-To Method?

    I use a brooder set up for raising the chicks but I had planned on keeping the cockerel that I lost and then it would have been about the hens raising them for me. I know that I don't need a rooster to brood chicks.

    I think I guessed wrong. Help me out?

    I tried culling 3 roosters and I ended up tossing them because just doing 1 took me over 3 hours so I just decided that I will need someone else to process them for me.

    8-week (possible) Easter Egger cockerel?

    Thank you. I cried that night and the next one but I don't want a rooster now because I let them out and as soon as I started petting him he jumped in my lap.

    The only rooster I was thinking about keeping was the sweet little cockerel that I lost.

    8-week (possible) Easter Egger cockerel?

    No. I went to their house. That's so good that I did because yeah that would have been a serious trauma for them.

    8-week (possible) Easter Egger cockerel?

    I bought these chicks from a woman that had incubated them and the cockerel I thought was a pullet but as it turned out I was wrong. I lost the cockerel and white pullet behind him while sitting with 2 of my grandkids. His comb was small and not very prominent but he was super sweet.

    EE cockerel or pullet?

    I absolutely agree with you. I love my girls and I also have 3 ducks that I love as well. My girls gave me 9 eggs today and hopefully soon I will be getting all 13. 2 of my ducks are hens. I wish my little pullet and sweetest cockerel would have lived but I lost them while I had to stay with 2...

    Experimental Garden. Will Anything Grow?

    My garden didn't do much good this year. I'm starting to think that my best bet is going to have about 2 or 3 tons of top soil dumped on the ground get it leveled and then cover it with rocks and then a thick layer of cement and then put the raised beds in and just try that but I don't want to...
