My wild hen must go somewhere to lay. So I put a nest box under the bushes hoping she'll find interest. Nope. I read a post to put golf ball in nest box. I tried it this AM she's found that interesting, so now she is standing guard in front of the box.
We've seen racoons, a fox in our backyard.
Last night was the first time we've seen a Skunk!
My chick is in a pet carrier at night in the garage, safe.
I'm almost afraid to put her out in a coop now!
Her coop and run aren't done yet.
I let her free range during the day and put in the carrier...
I was raised on a small farm. We used to have laying hens.
I have been trying to talk my husband to let me have some chickens for eggs. He has resisted. We have a large yard and few neighbors, so that's not a problem. Although we do have Racoons in forest behind us.
Well few weeks ago a Hen...
