Sorry about the gasoline thing. It was supposed to be Vaseline. Autocorrect on my ipad thinks it knows better! Lol! If i can get Vaseline on his comb and add so e ventilation do you think the black will go away? There is very little.

I noticed today when I got home that my Roo is starting to develop some black on the tips of his comb. Could it be frost bite? I have heard of putting gasoline on the combs, but, he doesn't like to be picked up. Any suggestions?

Just got home and put the birds to bed and found our first egg! :D Gotta say, pretty excited! The egg seemed a little small. How big of an egg do Plymouth Barred Rocks lay? At any rate, seeing the fruits of our labor is pretty awesome! :D

So, just an update. Our new birds are big and beautiful! We didn't have any issues with predators this year which was GREAT! Unfortunately, our neighbors had a bit of an issue :(. But, next spring we have plans to rebuild their run. Now it's on to winter. Just had our first bit of snow up here...

I' hoping that someone can help. We are now losing chickens to something that isn't leaving a sign. Not even feathers. I was told by a neighbor that there has been a fox around and she beloved that's what took he chickens. I have not seen it as of yet. We did lose some to what I was told a...

That's what I figured. I have two out there now and haven't had any hits. We got more chicks from the local chicken swap and have not lost one. Of course, my dog is home and doing his normal thing as well. As far as the coop or range, they were ranging as they did quite often. They liked to get...

Well, not even one day into vacation and we get a call that all but one of our chickens are dead. We were told by the person tending them that he saw a mink dragging one into the woods and the rest were already dead. He was able to save the last one. Any ideas on effective ways to get rid of...

Thank you we try to do the right thing with them!

Kinda had that feeling. Thanks for the response.
