    Which is the lesser evil? Stress of moving inside or stress of chainsaw noise?

    Hi all, in the next couple weeks I'm having a tree company come out and remove a incredibly tall pine tree that's only about 10-15 ft from the chicken coop. I asked the guy and he said there's no reason to take them out for like fear of damage they're going to park multiple cranes and...

    Hi all! I have 11 chickens that are 13 weeks old I'm pretty sure I've got all pullets but I am a little unsure about this one lavender Easter Egger just because her feathers on her tail seem to be doing a little bit of the swoopy thing but because of her coloring and her comb I'm still...

    What do we think? Fisher bobcat or racoon?

    Seems too long of a print to be a fisher cat (but im no expert) and not enough fingery to be a raccoon. Too small to be a bear or mountain lion or my neighbors dogs. No digging or anything shown anywhere on the perimeter of the coop but the tracks come out of the woods walk around the back of...
