Quote: Quote: Fruit bats and bats that prey on cows? Are you guys having trouble with lemurs and capybaras, too? HAHAHAHA...no, but I wouldn't be surprised by the crazy things I've been coming across lately.

Quote: Wow! I had no idea they'd do that! I hate to kill it in case it has babies...do you just catch it and release it somewhere else? Is there a certain distance you should go before you drop it off?

Thank ya'll but I don't think bats are the problem.....I have fruit bats and they're fine cause they eat all the dang bugs. I am thinking about using a light blanket over the cage until I get this problem solved. A dog may be the answer too....now to research that

At first I thought it was a coyote after the 1st chicken and cat food went missing. After this last chicken, it can't be. I thought it could be a snake but I don't think so because of the feathers where it was pulled through. I bet it's a raccoon!! I just didn't think it could be that strong!!

I have a problem! I lost a 3 mth old chicken who was roosting with the others on my front porch Wens night. So I put them in a dog crate, it is like a cage with slim vertical and horizontal openings, last night. When I went out this morning to let them out another was missing!! I thought I was...

I had two kittens and a cat dropped off in the past 4 months plus our family cat. Since I FR my chicks I was worried, but I keep the cats well fed and have not had any problems. I would just keep an eye on the kitty and chicks. I have a pic of my cat and rooster sleeping by each other I'll try...

Hi!! I was born and raised in Jasper, AL. I live in TN now, but usually make a trip back home once a month! Nice to see so many Alabamians

Quote: Yeah I thought OH no, I have a genetically mutated one. Hey on another note, we have a yorkie too..she is too interested in baby chicks..I swear she is like have a 1/2 a child, whining next to me all the time when I go and hang out with the chickies. Mine too!!! She thinks she's their...

Wow! Thanks for this post! I had the same thing goin on but was afraid to ask. I thought it was a tumor!! LOL

Ewwww, I know, Mine does the same thing. the vet said it was ok. Just grosses me out. And I will NOT let her lick me.

I am so sorry to hear that. I had the same thing happen about 2 weeks ago. She was taken off her nest at night with no trace and her 7 chicks were left. I think it had to be a fox or coyote for there not to be even a sign of a struggle. I hope yours is a happy ending.

Go Vols!!!!!! From a recovering Bama fan hee hee

I was having the same thing happen with my baby chicks and my yorkie!! I let them out and sat and watched them together..now I see that she thinks they're her puppies and is so over protective of them. She snapped at the rooster when he walked toward them and attacked the kitten when she tried...

Silver Point, TN! Moved here in Nov. and just LUV it!!

Could it be a stray cat? I've had a stray try and "play" with our chickens and I'm sure they could go too far...I also agree with you free ranging your chickens, I live out in the woods and FR mine. It keeps the ticks and japanese beetle population down. But to each their own decision, live and...

Hi!!! We lived in Lakenheath England for 4 years and thought it was heaven on earth! Planning on one day moving back. We miss the Sat markets and chips covered in malt vinegar and ketchup. So glad you're on here!

Hi! Moved to Cookeville TN last Nov from AL. My family and I LOVE it. Temperature is much cooler than AL. Happy to find fellow chicken lovers and all the advice I can get!!

I hate to hear that..I live in a small community in TN and the older men swear we have no black bears in the area, but after finding bear scat about 150 yards from the house and my compost pile completely destroyed, I beg to differ. I now have a missing hen, 7 orphaned chicks and am wondering if...

I had a very good hen that hatched 7 eggs 4 days ago. When we woke up this morning she was gone but all the chicks were there. I don't have any idea what could have got her. Her nest was on the front porch. There were no feathers or signs of a struggle, no paw prints left. I've looked over the...
