. I know someone else just posted something similar but I just watched a coyote jump my chain link fence, jump the 6 foot fence to my chicken pen, grab one of my girls and get out before my rotts could get there, and they were hauling butt. I am never fast enough with the gun. It took the...
Any idea what is doing this? Didn't even eat the chicken, just snacked on my turkey.
I have buried hardware cloth so it would to have gone over 2x4 horse fencing.
When I go out to visit my girls I usually take treats out and sit down and everyone comes and eats outta my hand. I have two girls who act like I have never fed them before and peck so hard they hurt my hands. They have food all the time. Is there anyway to get them to be nicer about it. I had a...
Hey all you so cal chicken lovers I have found myself in a little delima. I have an incubator I love, a hovabator. Well, I got a little carried away bidding on eggs and forgot I bid on a lot of 24 purebreds. My bator will be full thats WITHOUT the 24 I forgot about. Is there anyone locally who...

I have a ton of chicks right now. I got two orders of 50+ chicks and knew I couldn't keep all of them. The local feed store offered to take my extras but I wanted to offer them up here first. I have about 10? different breeds. Let me know if you are interested. They are all 1-2 weeks old.

I have different groups of eggs in my bator. I just hatched some yesterday. Is it ok to open it long enough to clean it and put it back together. It can't be good to leave all the yuck from the first batch in there but I don't want to hurt the ones still cookin. Guide me oh wise bator people...
I just went outside and found one of my girls with a "neck issue". The funny part is I'm a medic but I have never treated chickens. So clean it and put antibiotic ointment on it? I have her isolated. She is A & O x 4 (just kidding) she is alert and orriented and is acting fine. I just want to...
Hi everyone,
I guess it's time to quit lurking. I have a BO cockerel who is free to anyone who wants him. He was supposed to be a she but someone at the hatchery must have had a late night. I live between Riverside and San Diego County in Temecula's Wine Contry. I work in Corona. Anyway, thanks...
