I just looked up white rocks and they do look similar! if they are then that would be great because then we can have brown eggs!!! thanks for the replies everyone!
Ok, So I bought my chicks from the State Fair, and silly me forgot to ask what breed they were...I guess I was too excited to think straight (new chicken owner here!) Anyways, for a while I thought I had leghorns but recently I saw a picture that looks similar to my chicks, and it was of a...
I think i understand what you mean... One of my dogs knows not to mess with the chicks... The other one- not so much. She is a

and the electric strand is a good idea! but the only problem is that the coop will share the backyard with the dogs, and I don't want my pups getting hurt
a few questions.
what kind of preditors do you have in your area?
what kind of wire is your coop and run made of?if its regular chicken wire thats great for keeping the chickens in.but a racoon or most any preditor will have no problem getting through it.
does your run have a wire top?if not...
What is a fort knox coop? Also how can i let them free range w/o bein eaten? I was thinking of building a traingular cage that
Could b mobile... But with these
Predators my only solution that i can think of for now
Is to keep my dogs out with them in the yard!
Omgsh really? Thanks for the advice! My coop has an indoor boxed-type coop with a run connected to
It where they can choose to b in or out during the day, and im def locking them up at nite. Now i dont know what to do because the run has an open bottom where it sits on the ground....hmm
I'm new to keeping chickens! It has been going great until this past week...I left my chicks outside in a crate in the morning where I checked up on them every hour. When I had gone to check on them, I saw one missing ...all that was left was a bloody feather outside the crate and some blood...
