    *SCREAM*

    Why in the world do I have such a predator problem. I have lost 5 silkies today to a $^%& raccoon (missing all of their heads) I have previously lost 4 Australorp the same way (missing heads carcasses in cage) The way that it must be happening is somehow the raccoon is getting the chickens...

    Something killed my bird!!!

    Will chickens kill and eat other chickens?! We bought three chickens, they stayed together in quarantine for a month, and they have been in the coop with my black hen for a week now. Tonight I checked on them, and the white silkie was dead! Could something have gotten in? Would the...

    Feeding my flock of various ages

    Okay, I have a rooster and 3 hens together right now. One hen is laying, I have no idea how old the other two are, but they have not started laying yet, and the rooster seems full grown. We will also be adding much younger birds to the flock, and they all eat together in the coop. My...

    When can I feed them a nightcrawler?

    I have week old chicks, and I also have some nightcrawlers for my large chickens. When can they start eating them?

    How would you improve this incubator?

    We made an incubator out of stuff around the garage. The light is one of those incense lamps that you put a plate on top with oils in it, and has a dial to control how hot it is. We spent $5 on a thermometer, but that was it. I guess we will see if it works in a few weeks. Keeping the temp...

    Elvis

    His name is Elvis due to obvious sideburn reasons. He doesn't have a tail either so I think he is an Araucana or a mix. How can you tell what age your chicken is? We bought three from an auction recently, and I have no idea.

    I think we shall name her Firey after those stretchy lanky Labyrinth creatures that take of their heads

    Is there anything that will protect my chickens/rabbits?

    For example a donkey protects cows from predators. Is there anything that will coexist with my chickens and protect them? Our rooster just disappeared yesterday, feathers everywhere... and our barn cat was walking around the coop. I think he may be the culprit but we have had both cats and...

    My hen just laid her first egg

    So should I eat it or hatch it? We found it on the floor of the coop, and it may have happened yesterday. If she was not sitting on it this whole time does that mean that it will not become a baby chick? Is it too cold out to try to hatch, and should we wait till spring? Thanks for your...

    Chickens will not use coop!

    We built a coop for the chickens for winter and they will not go in it. I worry about them since it is getting very cold out (below 30). All summer they have been using a dog run that we put two walls, a perch, and a roof on that they stay in at night (due to stray dog and coyote problem...

    Hello there

    I am a new member, and recently got a cockerel and pullet both 2 months old. The people I got them from were posters on craigslist and the chickens were free. I would like help identifying them. I think that the pullet is a Langshan bantam, and the cockerel is a type of bantam. I honestly...
