    predators of Lebanon, NH

    A northern goshawk nearly killed our Dominique hen and also attacked our Ameraucana: two different piles of chicken feathers in the front and back yard. A little later I saw the hawk perched on the coop, trying to get in. The attacked hens were in shock, but I got them out of it by feeding...

    Our rooster is too fast for our aging hens---help!

    He is absolutely beautiful, muscled, and mighty, a 5 months old Dominique. We got him my mistake from the egg lady in Claremont NH. He is enamoured of our elderly Rhode Island Red, who can't handle the attention. She survived a fox attack 2 years ago, and we paid (thru the nose) and prayed...

    dandelions 4 chix

    Hi, I have discovered that my chix really like dandelions and bindweed. The only problem is that these unwanted plants are in the front yard where there is no fencing and where the chix do not feel comfortable (dogs barking, etc), plus they have demonstrated a tendency to wander away. I have...

    Hi, a few days ago I posted about our Buff and how she was acting miserable and refused to stop sitting in a box with a soft-shell broken egg. She was still being weird even after I removed the nesting boxes from the coop. That night we took the drastic action of putting her in the bath tub...
