I currently have barred rock and red sex links, but i am having a problem with losing birds to racoon i have live traps set but i live in the country and they seem to just keep coming. my question is is there a breed of chicken that will be more likely to do good against racoon and yet still lay...
I have purchased 9 barred rock chickens from a individual 8 hens and a rooster they are all roughly the same size but the person i purchased them from did not tell me there age and they have moved out of state so i was wondering if there is any way to tell the age???
I bought some barred rock chickens they are all full grown laying and the rooster is crowing how long should i wait until i can let them freerange without getting lost?
I have 8 barred rock hens and a rooster they are all fully grown. I get 5-8 eggs per day the problem is only one of the hens will lay in the nesting boxes the rest choose to lay on the ground the boxes are at various hights but they are all lower then the roosts. I have tried putting fake eggs...
