    Hawk Roosting above Coop

    For over a month (it's winter here) I've had a hawk roost in a cedar tree right above the coop/pen/run area. It hasn't been an issue because the flock is wintering in their predator proof pen. My chickens don't even know the hawk is there due to tarps on the pen to stop wind! However, I am...

    Buff Orpington Pullets actually Cockerels?

    Hi All, About 8 weeks ago I brought home 6 chicks - all (supposedly) pullets. I have 4 sex-linked (2 ISA Browns + 2 Black Stars) and 2 Buff Orpingtons. As they've grown, it's clear that at least one of the BOs is actually a Cockerel. He's started crowing so yea, I certainly have at least one...
