Do you have Hawk and Eagle problems like I do? I'm tired of losing my birds to them. I free range with no cover, I have decided that is going to change. Once I get my flock built back up, I plan to either have a tractor cage or cover the 20ft dog cage with a net.
Just purchased a 2 year old Bluff Orpington hen, I've had her for 3 weeks, I also purchased a 2 year old rooster, same breed. Back to the hen, she seems content and is eating very well but no eggs yet. What can I expect in another few weeks or so? We are in GA. and the weather has been colder...
