Glad to see the lod post are being used. I haven't posted anything in over three yearsbut check in every so often. I still use the milk crates, but have cut back on the number of chickens I have. Only four hens in the pen with the coop and another five running around the yard. They kept...
You could have saved some money and used red Christmas lights The lights are suppose to look like the eyes of another animal. They DO NOT work if they are not moving.
Any good sporting good store would be the place to start. Around here Big 5 has a number of them.
They are good for marking your predator for the police or the dog's owner. The problem with them is, they might just make the dog mad. Then they become a real problem. Try to follow them and if...
In most cases where the chick dies this late is because the humidity is to high and the chick has drown. Another factor is that the temp may have spiked.
If you are free ranging your chickens and have that many spiders, you are over feeding your chickens. A chicken that sees a moving bug or spder should attack and eat it. A spider is the easiest of all bugs to kill, even the use of hair spray will do the job. You don't need those atomic bomb...
The best bait for a weasel is a livr mouse, which you can buy at any pet store. As stated before, they are small and can fit though most live traps. I have caught many in a rat trap, which can be bought at your local hardware store. I know of some that have even been caught in a large glue...
I don't like to post about another site, but I think everyone that has a bear problem should read this. It is an article about black bear on The Clifornia Chickens site. This is a forum about chicken on Yahoo. The article is from Tezas A & M. This is information I believe everyone should...

Never leave an animal you have shot on the side of the road, if you get caught doing this it is a BIG FINE and possibly jail time. Just shot it and then bury it, SSS.

Was just complaining that I can't afford to go. That would be worth the price of admission though!
Every part can be used. Heck you can even sell the stuff on eBay.
Garbage is gone huh? Those were some nice tails. Would be great on regalia.
There's ways of working around holes...
Hope you BBQed them. Heck they are right tasty almost anyway. Laugh if you want, but even the Caifornia State Fair knows they are good eaten. Coon on a stick is a featured food there this year.
Eating them will have no affect on your chickens. Them doing this will save you and your family from the spider biting you. The bite is both painful and deadly. If your husband even thinks he was biten, GET HIM TO A DOCTOR. Better safe than sorry.
I grew up in Middlesex county N J and to my knowledge you can shoot there. Every night in the fall and winter we went coon hunting, both for the fur and meat. lI know what you may think, but it is right tasty. Today it is one of the feature foods at the Ca. State Fair this year. To keep the...
Before you spend those hard earned dollars, do some rescearch first. Your local dealers will try to sell you what they think is best, but this is not always the case. There are many different types of control boxes and as many ways to set up the fence. Here I will give you a few places to...
Get some 000 buckshot for that shotgun and aim it at the bear not the sky. You put 2 loads of buckshot in the bear and you won't ever have to worry about it again.
If the coop is secure and you can catch the chickens do so. Then put them in the coop, you may have to so this a few times, but once they are sure it is safe to stay in the coop, they will.
Cetawin, I nave shot 2 bears atempting to come into my summer cabin just outside Downiebille, Ca. One was coming though the bedroom window in the middle of the night. The other was mid afternoon and it was coming though the front door. And I didn't even have a chicken in the house, though I...
Get the hot wire up as fast as possible, the bear WILL be back. But instead of using the little round wire, use barb wire. The bear's fur will insult it against the electric round wire, where the barb wiire will go though the fur. Some will tell you to bait the hot wire, I don't think that is...
