    Coon and cat in the pen.

    Last night we heard a ruckus in the chicken pen. I went out to investigate and found a nasty coon. I don't have a gun right now so I couldn't kill it. Instead I marked my territory all around the pen. (Thank God the neighbors were asleep) Today I find my cat in the pen marking HIS territory...

    Best/cheapest way to keep the chickens in the pen.

    I have a 4' high chicken wire pen, two of my new hens have gone over the wall. How do I keep them from flying out of the pen? Will cutting thier flight feathers do it?

    Wanted: Laying Hens in the mid Florida area.

    I need 8 to 10 hens total. If you have just a couple that is fine. I don't care the breed, mutts are OK. I would prefer EEs, but only because I think they are cool. Needless to say reasonable prices only. I have two roosters and one hen. The birds are about 4 months old, would like birds of a...

    5 down, and a bit of bragging

    We processed 5 birds yesterday. 4 as game hens for Christmas and 1 for the cat. The cat's bird had one bad leg when he was a week old so we separated him and nursed him along, then he lost the other leg. I figured with all the flopping he would be bruised and blistered but he wasn't. But I...

    Yesterday I am sitting there, minding my own business causing harm to no one. My wife comes up and informs me that she is pregnant. This will be #6 with a 10 year gap between. Top three are my stepdaughters with a 9 year gap between hers and ours. I already have 9 grandkids with one more...

    Cornish game hen quickie question.

    I decided to slaughter 4 of my Cornish X next week and have Cornish game hens for Christmas dinner. The birds are three weeks old now and weigh between 1 1/4 lb and 1 3/4 lb and I am assuming they will be "close enough" come next weekend. I went online in an attempt to find out how much they...

    It's a wonderful life.

    I watch this movie EVERY time it is on. It still gets me. Don't tell anybody the Trollkiller has a soft spot. EDIT: Even if you absolutely hate the movie or have a better Christmas movie, feel free to post about it.

    The dumbest question you will read today.

    If you have a large male and breed it with a small female does the hen lay larger eggs? Will the eggs the hen lays be big enough to accommodate the larger offspring?

    Best recession/depression chicken breed(s)?

    With all the bad economy news being jammed in our faces, it made me wonder. If, God forbid, we go into a deep recession or depression, what breed or breed would be the best for extremely low maintenance for the return? I guess what I am asking is what breed can you put in the yard and say "fend...

    Breeding forum

    I was reading a thread that was discussing breeding chickens to make a better meat bird. That got me to thinking that a breeding forum may be a good idea as actual breeding does not really fit into any of forum headers. I am sure there are a few folks that would be more willing to try...

    Chick vomiting blood.

    One of my 2 week old meat birds had blood running down her neck. I picked her up and she coughed up blood. I held her upside down and the blood poured and she started to expire. I could see no external injuries, what would cause internal bleeding like that?

    Novice Rooster Fighting Question

    I have two roosters, one is twice the size of the other (still chicks 4 & 5 weeks old). The little rooster keeps attacking the large one but not enough to do damage and it only lasts a second or two. The large one just looks at the little one like he is stupid and does not attack back. When the...

    Poly-Vi-Sol dosage question.

    I purchased Poly-Vi-Sol to supplement my birds but I am unsure of how much to put in their water. How much per gallon for healthy birds? I also have one meat bird that is weak, I have separated it from the others and I want to give him vitamins too but I don't want to overdose. How much per...
