I Have A 8 mo. Anatolian she is a LGD for my goats who are in a separate part of the property from the birds, so when ever a chicken wanders over that way she barks and jumps around I know she would eat a bird like a snack if she could. Now there is a good sturdy fence to stop her but the...
I had a raccoon attack over the weekend lost two birds. First time I have ever even seen a trace of any raccoons, never got into the garbage no paw prints on the deck nothing. It was sad the little punk coons got an eye hook loose gave them just enough space to get in to one of my coops. I...

I've got a hen that has been broody for about 6 or 7 weeks. She was a wild chicken my brother found on his delivery route around 3 am one morning in the middle of the road during winter. So I took her in. She didn't lay an egg until late march.The best I can tell she is a bantam and about 12-18...
we had one pipping for about 24 hrs and decided to help it out did we make a mistake? it was bloody and now doesn't seem to well. it's still curled up but its breathing. dam I should have just waited, we feel horrible.
just got a three mo. old americana rooster just wondering if anyone knows about this breed? Are they mean noisy etc.? By noisy I just mean crowing all night long. I here roos sometimes in the distance at all hours. Did we make a mistake taking this guy home? He is very good looking though.

One of my araucana peeps seems to have a crooked neck.She always seemed a little slower than the other two since we got them a month ago.Now around four weeks I've noticed she is like a hunch back or something.Her head is always tilted to the side.And just isn't as active as the other two.But...
The pen gets real muddy. They don't seem to mind but I do. Would it be worth while to get a hay bail or two to make a ground cover? Or would it be too much of a mess to clean up after a couple weeks?
I bought three chicks at the local feed store on 4/20/07. Two black sex links and one California white (ideal 236). I'm almost sure one of the links is a ROO! I know its still early but the tail feathers,colors,and size compared to the other two make me think the one in question is a roo. My...
