    Opossum attack and missing birds in the aftermath

    We had a raccoon attack one morning and one of my Ameraucanas was nowhere to be found afterward. Found her wandering around the front yard the next morning. Yours will most likely turn up! Keep us posted

    American Gamefowl

    I will never catch up on this thread so I will have to just pop in here and try to keep up. Not breeding but seriously considering getting rid of almost all my non-game hens. Wish I’d discovered them sooner

    Blood

    Lower the dose and give for another five days to be on the safe side. Glad it’s helping!

    Chickens in nature

    I put my coop smack in the middle of the existing crow territory and it is definitely helpful—more helpful when they have chicks in spring and summer—but that hasn’t stopped a red tail and her mate from stalking my chickens. Having a rooster that fights back has helped though

    Will a fox attack a human?

    We have distemper in our county right now and I have read animals with distemper can act similar to animals with rabies and they lose their fear of humans in those cases.

    Those damn trash pandas

    It’s legal to shoot where I live so I shoot them between the eyes with a .22 mag. Which is easier than it sounds with the dog-proof trap because the second they see you raccoons will stand their ground, stare you down and hiss. So it’s not hard to make a humane kill-shot. They will flop a lot...

    Can I use scented wood chips, heard it’s not good for them but today I put it in there nesting box that they don’t use and I saw them lay In it.

    I don’t think once is a big deal but I wouldn’t make a habit of it. Sometimes (when I’m feeling really fancy) I will throw some fresh herbs in the nest boxes after I clean the coop. The coop smells lovely for about 12 hours. Then it smells like poop again. So if the lemon scent lasts longer than...

    Genetically "enhance" unwilling humans with the bite of ogm ticks...

    Interesting read. I’m not surprised this is a topic being discussed in academia. I’ve known too many vegans 🤣🤣 I shouldn’t be surprised that someone is funding this sort of “research” even if it’s just by paying a professor a salary to sit in their climate-controlled office. Would be fun to see...

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    It looks like my wild chicken adventures are over—she abandoned the nest and went back to the COOP!! So that’s that I guess 😆 I felt the eggs and they all seemed pretty light. I’m not curious to mess with them or do an eggtopsy. I imagine she has been sitting on duds since the time between roosters

    Chicken very skittish

    I’ve had lots of chickens like this. Some of them are just not friendly. What breed is she?

    Those damn trash pandas

    I second the dog-proof traps. They work great and in my experience the raccoons will avoid the spot for about a ten-foot radius where you set the trap after you’ve caught one. I don’t relocate raccoons (unless you consider sending them to raccoon heaven a relocation) so I don’t know if they will...

    Welcome to the chicken lady club…some of us are just happy when our men don’t count the chickens 🤣

    The Moonshiner's Leghorns

    This isn’t Leghorn related except that I am not getting Moony Leghorn eggs this year because this happened: I didn’t even realize I had a hen sitting on a clutch in the woods. If any of these hatch they will be mongrel chickens—mom is a Leiper-Hatch game and Dad is a game/EE. My plan to get...

    Pictures aren’t showing up. Don’t give vitamins with Corid it defeats the purpose. Corid inhibits absorption of vitamin B, which is what cocci thrive on. So giving vitamin B makes Corid ineffective.
