    spiders everywhere

    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...

    Will eating brown recluse spiders hurt my hens?

    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.

    The consequence of complacency. Half my flock gone.

    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.

    Need Electric fence & BEAR help. now lost broody and chicks.

    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...
