    Pest deterrent

    We put up some game cameras last night, because I had a "treat block" that was suit block size disappear overnight a few weeks back. So we put cameras up when I hung a new one - this one is smaller and still intact this morning. But.....we caught a picture of a dog overnight. I suspect it may...

    Roo?

    I am thinking the blue/vrey is a rooster? On a FB page someone suggested the darker one might be too. Maran or Maran mix from a friend's flock - 5 weeks old

    RIR or Cinnamon Quenn

    I was given this hen today and they weren't sure if it was a RIR or a Cinnamon Queen. Out of curiosity, how could I tell those 2 "breeds" apart? I'll include a picture but it's through their pen so not the best.

    EggS!

    So, I hve 2 hens. Been getting an olive egg about every other day since about Labor Day. Occasionally lately I've gotten an egg a day for 2 days in a row, then back to every other day. Wasn't sure if I had two Olive Eggers and 1 was just starting to lay along with my established layer or if the...

    Introduction area

    Can I see what set up you have for housing newbies while working on introduction to the current flock? I need ideas. Have a friend who wants to trim her numbers (by 2 at least) and currently have 1 roo and 2 hens.

    Couple questions

    I have a rescued flock of 1 rooster and 2 hens. I'd like to make a couple changes and winder if I should do 1 before the other. I'd like to start letting them free range some and I'd like to introduce a few new adult hens. Wondering if I should integrate them all before allowing them out of the...

    Breed guesses?

    Rescued chickens. Hens both have "ear muffs" so I assume EE or mixes. Is it possible to identify breed of this guy?

    Scared?

    We got 3 rescued chickens recently. 1 rooster and 2 hens. They had previously been abandoned at a park. 5 were rescued from the park and the finder kept a half grown hen and rooster. The first night here the hens slept in the coop and the Roo slept on a perch out in the run. After about a day...

    Suggestions for placement within coop

    We converted part of an old shed into an emergency dog run, it has since been converted into a cat enclosure until the cats know this home. Once its no longer used for thr cats, we want to turn it into a chicken coop. The outside run is a sturdy chain link dog kennel with chicken wire over the...

    Breed suggestions

    I live in south Arkansas - our summers are hot and humid, winter lows occasionally dip below freezing at night, usually not for more than a couple nights in a row. I plan on having a coup with a run but also allow free ranging. I like friendlier birds, and enjoy a variety of looks and colors. I...

    Re introduction?

    I had joined this site a few years ago when I was researching my first back yard flock. I enjoyed my time with my chickens. Due to some changes in schedules and having less help due to those schedules, I ended up rehoming my chickens with a friend. Since then we've moved to a much bigger proper...

    Molt or ?

    I have 3 Easter Eggers and 3 Black Stars - all about 18 months. All 3 Easter Eggers have feather loss - the Black Stars all look good. Not sure if it's molt, mites, or the three bigger ones are picking on them. [/URL]

    Thoughts and ideas on electric fence or "hot wire"

    We have a moveable A frame type coop. We have recently reinforced the wire on the bottom due to one of the dogs finding a weak spot. Considering adding a hot wire as an extra layer of protection. Currently the dog is supervised or on a tie out when outside. Squirt with a water hose a few times...

    Injured chick, how to proceed?

    Had one of my dogs pull off some wire and get ahold of one of our girls tonight. Her tissue wounds look quite minor but I brought her inside and she's under a heat lamp to ward off /treat for shock. Initially I had placed her back in the coop until I could make sure all the rest were accounted...
