When my kids wanted to stop trick or treating right on halloween last year NOW and go home because we forgot to shut up the coop before we left and they were more worried somebody would eat their chickens than they were about getting a full candy bucket !

My corn didn't like the cool weather we had this year , not sure I'd blame that on the seed company, corn needs warm soil as well as rain to germinate and grow properly. Almost everybody i know in this areas corn either didn't do well or had to be completely replanted and even the field corn is...

Normally we get 9 - 13 eggs a day . Today it stormed, thundered, poured, lightning all day and I got a grand total of 1 egg and that 1 egg was from the chicken currently in the HOUSE in a rubbermaid tub due to dog injuries on her bum. Granted they were big storms , but I've never had a ZERO...

It is sad for the dogs and not their fault. I was even mad they attacked the chicken , knowing in many dogs , hunting is an instinct , bred in even sometimes as a desired trait. What really tinked me was them going after my kids!! Another neighbour told me today...
Neighbour has a bunch of dogs ( 4) pitt father, terrier mother , 2 offspring grown, which escaped their yard today . I saw them surrounding the chickenyard and started screaming dog! and me and the boys barreled for coop. One of our chickens is a persistant escape artist despite docked feathers...

Bag says for chickens and ducks but i'll switch to the starter grower which is 20 % and watch her and see how she acts and if it gets bigger or she stops eating and drinking or being active before i freak out and try to see if it needs to be lanced. Had no problem with the same starter for 17...
