I'm betting a raccoon. I've had problems with foxes and coons. I'm stumped right now by a predator problem too. I'm missing 5 chickens...I free range and two were during the day and three at night. I can't find any tracks, feathers, blood, bodies...zilch! It's like they've disappeared into...
Hello all,
I'm starting this thread for anyone and everyone to share any advice or tips they've learned along the way when it comes to showing poultry. As a first time chicken owner whose only had chickens going on a year now I decided to show a few of my more promising birds at the State...
I fell off BYC for awhile and just now checking back...I wish I had seen your post earlier I just placed an order for some legbars but come late July- early August I will be ready for some olive eggers. Do you think you would have any available around those months? Also, what breeds are your...
Please help...
I'm still fairly new to raising chickens and this is only my second hatch. I hatched four eggs yesterday and this morning. I moved them from the incubator to my brooder. 3 of them are doing well- very active, walking fine, and starting to peck at food. But one still can't...

I just got some Salmon Favorelles chicks and I'm pretty sure I have 4 hens and 1 rooster. I don't know if they are from the same hen but pretty sure they all share the same dad if I wanted to breed these chicks one day would that be a big no, no?
I'm obviously new at this so any help would...
The more you handle them the more used to you they will become. I also see nothing wrong in what you are doing. I would also introduce them to treats. My chickens will coming running up to me when they see me because they know they will get treats. They also eat out of my hand. It took some...
Since I'm not from SA I can't say but we don't have naked neck chickens in Senegal. Mostly just white leghorns. My parents still live in Senegal and they show pictures of my chickens to some of their friends and they can't get over how colorful and fat my chickens are...I have speckled...
