Well, what ever. The ants did not get the chicken but it lured the skunk in and I caught him. I'll set it again tonight and see if he has any relatives.

That would work for the ants. They are every where. Moving the trap is a moot point as it has to be near the area where the skunk has been working.

I found a skunk in my chicken house two nights ago. Last night I baited a Havaheart trap with a cooked chicken neck. Within two hours it was covered with fire ants. Needless to say the skunk did not go near the trap. I thought I would put a pan of water in the trap and a tuna can in the...

Oops. Dummy here. Told you what I have but did not add the total so my 32 bring the previous total of 9979 to 10,011.

4 wellsummer, 8 americauna, 1 white leghorn, 1 white rock, 3 white laced red cornish, 2 dorkings, 3 minorcas, 1 speckled sussex, 1 dominique, 1 sumatra, 2 mixed breed, 1 gold sex link and two buttercups. I have a Wellsummer roo and a americauna roo. 30 hens and two roos in all. They range in...

Probably. I noticed tonight when the group is having their bedtime treat of scratch he pecks the hens on the head to run them away from the choice tidbits. Just hate to get down to one roo. The ones I relocated are getting along better. I have not let them out of the pen until today. They...

That would work, but I have only two pens. I may add a few more young ones from the pen in with the young roo and his girls. I have not let them out for several days in the hope they will become used to the new house and pen.

As an update, I switched the two roos and moved several of the young hens with the young roo. The young hens are not happy after three days. The roos are ok with their new homes. The leghorn hen is healed and seems fine, still laying huge eggs almost every day. The young hens not laying well...

She was badly injured and bleeding, but since it was her comb they did not seem to notice. I have watched but they do not seem to notice.

Well, shooting him was first thought. He is not high quality. Thanks.

Did not think of that. Thanks

Thanks. I did that last week but she was so unhappy. She wanted to get back with her girlfriends. At this point the mean roo is outside the pen and the girls are in. No free ranging this afternoon. The other pen is out. Another concern, part of her comb is dangling. I don't know whether to...

Last spring I had a leghorn hen with nine chicks. A mink got in the cage and killed all the chicks. She must have put up a big fight. She lost part of her beak and a toe. I nursed her back to health, reintroduced her to the flock. Everyone but the roo is fine with her. Since this time he...
