    Ran "afowl" of Zoning bylaws and paid big time

    Well, the good news is I finally got the incubator to settle and hatched out a half dozen chicks last fall. The bad news is - three of the six mixed breed chicks were roos, and since I'm a sound sleeper, my neighbors found out I had roos before I confirmed the fact. If neighbor had come to me...

    Missing chicken found buried in flowerbed

    About a month ago I saw a free range hen in a yard where chickens never go - and heard through the grapevine that a neighbors hens - free rangers- had been scattered by a fox. Since I was walking my dog at the time, the hen would not let me approach. I informed my neighbor that she had a...

    What if the predator lives in the coop ?

    I found one of my bantam roosters dead in the coop when I fed earlier this week- now today I see another of the bantam old english game roosters is limping- with what appears to be a broken leg. I suspect the silky roo I got from this forum is not as sweet tempered as I was led to believe...

    First Timer hatching eggs- started them 3/21 -

    I bought three dozen barnyard mixes to see if this used incubator still operates. Originally contacted a BYC member to see about getting some BLRW eggs, but just didn't want to learn on rare breed embryos. If we make it to the end and have a successful hatch, I'll be more inclined to gamble on...
