Oh for pity sakes....it's always something around here.....Thought I lost the only guinea I had left...the flock of almost 3 dozen hens and 2 guinea has been decimated over the last year, starting with the coyote attacks.....anyway down to 7 hens, 3 roosters (2 bantams) and 1 guinea......well a...
Looking for some 16 week old hens to replenish my coyote ravaged flock (I now have a 6 ft high chainlink fenced run). I have 5 roosters (I believe) and 5 hens left, along with 1 guinea. I have a golden laced wyandotte, 1 Auracana, a frizzle, a leghorn, and a Barred Rock hen and a Sizzle, Light...
We have our first crower!!! Wouldn't ya know it was the littlest one AND the one we "were" calling Little Girl....guess the name will be changed to "LG".
Yikes, I didn't the gnats would cause problems with the chickens!! Mine are 11-12 weeks old, hope they are big enough now not to have to worry about that...I'm having enough problems with coyotes!!
Road trip....soo excited!! Can't wait till Saturday!! Hope there are some fancy chicks for sale!! My flock of 35 has dwindled down to 20!! Looking forward to seeing everyone!!
Yesterday was a BAD BAD DAY. I lost 6 more chickens to a coyote at 5:30 yesterday afternoon.....I am so over this whole project. I am absolutely broken hearted. The coyote killed 4 and left them and I saw it carrying off at least 2.....couldn't find the shells to my rifle or there would be...
we're located in Greenwood, AR, how far away are you?? What would you be looking at for price and I really don't think we're necessarily looking at "pure" breeds, they are just pets, eggs layers and fun to watch!!
Oh so sad with all the losses recently!! Still breaks my heart thinking about them going through that!! I honestly expected we'd lose a few when they were littler but all 35 of them had made it through...until Shasta and Scotty got to them...like someone said, always harder when it's another...
Sad day yesterday...2 of our dogs got out of their enclosure and wrecked havoc on my flock....lost 7 of our 6 -7 week old chickens, including our little Polish. It took us about 2 1/2 hours of tramping our woods to locate most of them....still missing several. I've been giving my husband such...
So happy we finally have decent weather...The kids have now spent almost a day and a half free ranging, and certainly seem to be loving it!! So excited to see them out of the coop!! I had initially planned to wait until they were 8 weeks old, but the weather and the crowding in the coop...
