    Raccoon

    I was out in the garden digging up some weeds from a raised bed, some of the chickens where in the garden with me helping and some were not far away dust bathing near the house. All the sudden they all started carrying on something terrible. My rooster started running around herding all his...

    Orange cats are different!

    So I let my big orange boy Jack (see photo below) watch this video. Yes he's that smart, he knows what he's watching. Now he goes nuts whenever he sees one of my chickens out the window. He wants his own chicken pet. I introduced him to my new rooster that I got with my last batch of chicks and...

    silly hen

    I have a wireless temp sensor hanging up on the wall in my coop. I notice the temp early this morning is showing 89 F. but the outside temp is 58 F.

    perfect predator deterrent

    In japan they now have solar powered robotic wolves to deter bears that make like 60 different sounds, have motion sensors, glowing red eyes and flashing lights. They should totally market these for chicken coop protection. Absolutely nothing would bother your chickens with this around. LOL.
