    Talk me off of the ledge!!!

    OK Backyard Chicken Forum please talk me off of the ledge. I am not going to jump, but I may throw my coop and chickens off. So here is the deal.

    I am totally bummed

    I have a fenced off area for my garden, chickens, and my daughters rabbits. We had a cage malfuntion and our baby bunny got out. We can't find it, but my neighbor saw a cat carrying something about the size of our bunny. I really hate cats and wish people would control their animals (sorry to...

    Socializing new birds

    I just got 4 new Barred Rock pullets to add to my five brown leghorns I raised from chicks. The BL are about 8 weeks and the BR are about 4 months. They are very stand-offish right now. How long does it take before they are one big happy family?
