About the foxes...when we first got our chickens about 6 months ago, Something bit through the fence and bit the side our of one of our birds. Then the next night, it dug under the corner of the fence and ate 12...We had 20 and twelve had flown out into the run over the top of the gate and those...
so last evening, I came home. just before dusk, and found...something had climbed the fence, got in the pen of chickens and ate the head off of "one" of my chickens. No signs...just feathers everywhere and no other chicken hurt. Any suggestions?
Thank you for the welcome...Looking forward to seeing all your pictures and pages...and learning more and more and more!!
I love the connection with people all over the U.S., and Canada Have a Great Day!
I understand a new member can't post any images on their page..So how long before your not a new member anymore. Would like to post animal family photos with my grand-kids.
Yep...need a contract and if she breaks it...give her a few days to get another place to live. Been there done that...Sometimes you have to have tough love. She will be upset...but it will pass. she will survive. Have a great day!
I have 8 hens about 4 months old. We built a real nice nesting box with 8 squares and put grass/pine shavings in them, but the hens are laying on the ground. Does anyone have suggestions how to get them to lay in the nests?
I have 8 hens.Two days ago, the hens decided they don't like one of their family members and started pecking her on the head,
So she is doing everything she can to get out. A friend said there is something I could paint on her head and they will stop pecking her that she used to use on her...
