    Fox attack... Only 4 chooks out of 13 left :(

    I lost my SLW to a fox on Thursday. I've got a game camera on the trail in the woods where it carried her, and I'm getting some foot-hold traps soon. She was the third over the last couple of months. I'm kinda liking the idea of a fox fur blanket... Sorry to hear about having to have her put...

    The Yetis do indeed exist thread

    I know the Sasquatch is real. My daughter, the Sasquatch, has been taller than my wife and had bigger feet since she was 10. She's now 13 and treads on size 11 flippers. Proof? She even laughed at me when I told her I was typing this reply...

    funny chicken names!

    We've only named a couple of our chickens. My two roosters are named Andy and Barney (from the Andy Griffith show). Andy is a big bird, and he knows he's in control. Barney is a bantam who only thinks he's big, and sometimes thinks he's in control. Andy, and even a few of the hens, put him...

    Virginia

    I'm in southern Isle of Wight County, just outside of Franklin. Is there anyone nearby with Dorkings? I'd like to expand my flock in the spring with a few.

    Dogs

    I've been on both sides of the problem dog issue. A few years ago I got frustrated trying to keep my two escape artist Siberian Huskies penned in. I gave up, and let hem run. I'm on 40 acres, and have many acres of farmland around us, so I figured there would be no issues. Boy was I wrong...

    How did your username originate?

    I was a gear-head before I owned chickens, and one of my favorite cars is the Chevy Vega. (Yes, I caught a lot of grief, and still do.) The Cosworth Vega was the "Holy Grail" for me, so I was very happy to actually find one that I could afford. Well, 'Cosworth' was already taken on all of the...

    cheap craigslist coop I got today

    Quote: I noticed it, too. 1972 if I'm not mistaken. Not a bad deal on the coop, either.

    Live Crickets

    Mine absolutely love crickets. I buy them at the hardware store in town and give them to the birds. They go nuts for them!

    Silkie roo's first mount...Backwards!

    Quote: My Siberian Husky was clueless, too. My female actually dragged him across the yard. Somehow he lost his footing and ended up laying on the ground, and evidently she wanted to be in another part of the yard. My boy was making a terrible racket. I heard him, looked out the back...

    2 roosters

    Quote: I have had to catch one of the hens a couple of times, and he really didn't seem to get very agitated. Once my wife and I caught the hen, she quieted down and he really didn't seem to pay a lot of attention to us at that point. I still have the "mean rooster" thought in the back of my...

    2 roosters

    I have two roos... One is a large EE, and the other is a Millie Fleur (sp?). Even though I only have two hens, they get along fine. My EE seems to be very docile, and he's the only one of the four who will actually come in close to me when I'm tossing out scratch. The others will not let me...

    keeping egss for the incubator..what humidity?

    I'm wondering the same thing. After reading all of the horror stories about quarantines and things, I'm very leery about getting any older birds. I want to save a few eggs from my two hens for incubating, but that will take a little while. When I decide to start keeping eggs for incubation...

    Hurricane Irene!

    I'm in the path of the storm, too. Right now Weather.com is projecting the storm to come essentially over me on Sunday morning as a category 2 storm. I'm planning on putting my four into the large dog crate in the shed, or maybe put them all in the small coop and move that into the shed. I'll...

    What are these guys?

    Wow... thanks for the quick replies. I'm still working on getting them used to me. They'll come around close, but the Wyandotte is still very skittish. When I toss out scratch she flaps and runs away, then comes right back to eat. The bantam is still a little spooky, too. The two EE's are...

    Finally caught it on camera!

    Is that a bobcat? I know we have a few around here, but I've only seen one while it crossed the road. It's the only thing that I've heard in my woods that really scared me. Literally sent chills up my spine. Looks like it's time to do a little hunting...
