A chipmunk will burrow and tunnel and are VERY destructive "ground dwellers" they can have very elaborate tunnel systems to the point they can collaps a driveway and also collaps a friends in ground pool liner. You are well justified to worry about those cute little destroyers!! Ha
I know that some people are breeding golden laced to tolbunt, but I really don't understand why they are creating a mix from two birds that are stunning on their own. I'm looking for tolbunt eggs right now. Hopefully a breeder will come along and help us out on this one

The Chooks enjoying some Kale in the safety of the run...... The HAWKS have been relentless. Grrrrr!
On a side note I think I'm going to get a couple panels of clear roofing and attach them to the run as a wind barrier for the winter. How are you all faring the cold so far?!?!
I added this light to my run to keep my gang outdoors a bit longer, the shade creeps up quick over the run even though its still early. Maybe something like this would work in your coop to be rid of the extension cord?!?

I wouldn't risk it!!! When I tried to combine mine this spring there was a bit of curious pecking, I was worried the bigs would inadvertently injure the littles....
I am Sooooo Excited!! The Hubster got the cameras hooked up and running in the Coop and Run~ Now we can check on them all hours of the day and night!!! Super cool...as if I wasn't obsessed enough?!? Haaaa
Anyone in or near the Upstate NY, Saratoga Springs area interested or know anyone who'd be interested in my 4month old Splash(?)Silkie Roo?!? He's not mean, he's very generous to all my girls. The problem is he hasn't established his own little following, so he hops onto girls while the semi...
Anyone interested or know someone who'd be interested in re homing my 4month old Splash(?)Silkie Roo??
He's not mean, he's very generous to the girls but he hasn't established his own little grouping so he hops on to the girls at the same time the dominant Roo is mounting. The girls are getting...
Kinda look like mine, this little one ended up lookin like this... Last years babies(top), the parents of this years chicks (bottom)...top light chick ended up Partridge...her after an extended molt.
It's one continuous strip of elastic that is laced through a small pocket folded and sewn. To put it on you'd stretch one side open and carefully slip the wing through, then stretch it in the other direction and slip it over the other wing. Center the apron and even up each loop so it's...
Not to butt in, but if I may suggest.....look into adopting or rescuing a bird instead of buying. And If ya get one....plan on putting it in your Living Will!! Ha
It looks like a mini Apron when off, but instead of straps to go around your neck there's a strip of elastic sewn throught the top then looped and sewn again. It stretches for one wing then the next to be fit through. It just loops under her wings, she can still kick dust under it when she takes...
I'm soooooo excited!!! My little Nugget is FINALLY getting her feathers back, she's lowest in the pecking order amongst the year old hens but bullies the spring flock something fierce!?!? I'm hoping she won't be picked bald again by winter...her little jacket she wears Works Like a Charm!!!
