    While sitting in my living room, this shows up!!

    I live out in the country, every predator imaginable is around and I expect some losses but try to minimize it. They never come this close to the house, I hear them hunting down squirrels, (ever see/hear of hawks hunting in a pack?) seen then fly around and knew of a hawk nest out back deep in...

    Finally in their coop!

    I've had them in a brooder in a spare room for 3 weeks. We had a cool run of weather at night so I delayed putting them outside until they were completely feathered out . Brooder plan A failed miserably...I tried to use a puppy play pen I bought at a yard sale. Who would have thought they...

    Keet picture

    Most are 2 1/2 weeks old, a couple might be 3 1/2 weeks old. I tossed a cricket in there just to see what would happen, blink and I would have missed it. The smallest one ran over and snatched that cricket so fast a leg flew off! Another ran over and gobbled up the leg! I put a couple more...

    Is there something wrong with this keets foot?

    I was looking to buy keets on CraigsList and found someone local, but this picture of one of the keets doesn't look right. http://raleigh.craigslist.org/grd/3162900102.html They also seemed to be huddled up, either sleepy or shy! Do you think they are OK?

    Predator control... KNOW THE LAWS IN YOUR STATE!!

    I've read a lot of posts on this subject in trying to protect my flock (yet to arrive). I'm passionate of wildlife, I practice 'safe' catch and release, and only kill what I'm going to eat. PLEASE understand I mean no insult and I'm not 'telling' you what to do! We're here for the same...

    Trapping and relocating pests

    I'm new to raising chickens, no birds yet, just reading up and predators are my biggest concern. I understand a person not wanting to kill any thing whether it's a predator or not, but feel I should warn others about trapping and relocating ... most states have laws against this. It's...
