    Masked Bandit and Murderer Caught on Tape

    First time in 8 years a predator has made it into this pen. Killed a nice Cochin pair the night before inside the coop...looked like mostly for sport. Apparently climbed up the 8 fence and under the netting on top.

    What's your guess...pullet cross?

    Went to pick up some leghorn hens to add to my crested cream legbars, and saw this young pullet. The seller had no history (picked up at a sale). Decided to take her as well. Crested with feathered feet. What mix? .

    Just finished a hatch of mail order eggs, two different breeds (Crested Cream Legbar (18 eggs) and Bielefelder (20 eggs)) from two different sources.

    Chicken identification help, please.

    I purchased a chicken set-up off CL. Basically, 3 of the 10x10 chain link dog pens with the roof systems for each, and all the poultry accoutrements. It was a real good deal as advertised, then I offered less and the guy accepted on the condition I come out today to dismantle and remove...

    Lone day old poult...let mama raise it or brood with some chicks

    I have a turkey hen who hatched out a single poult yesterday (2 failed to make it through the hatch and the others probably weren't fertile). Should I leave the poult with mom, or get a couple day-old chicks and put them in the brooder. The nest is in a 12x12 horse stall isolated from other...

    U-Haul Coop...help me design truck box coop

    We have an old U-Haul truck box that I was going to scrap, but then I decided if I'm going to cut it up anyway...why not make it into a new coop. The interior of the container is 7' by 16'. I would like to divide the space for 2 breeder flocks and possibly a brooder inside. Probably split the...
