    Pictures are good for ideas, but don't really explain how things were done.

    Nice looking coop, but no details. If I wanted to try this design, the page doesn't help me do so.

    The End of Free-Range

    I've come to the unhappy conclusion that I am going to have to stop allowing my birds out to for free range time. They have been quite happy to roam for most of the day for the last several years, but I have now lost most of my flock after a 2nd fox attack yesterday. The remaining birds will...

    7 birds missing- trying to identify predator

    Thank you for the insights. I’ve had trouble with raccoons and dogs in the past, but never experienced anything like this before. I guess I will have to limit free range time for the remaining birds for now. I’m wondering if it would be better to keep them locked up completely for a while, or...

    7 birds missing- trying to identify predator

    While free ranging today, seven of my chickens disappeared. I was not home at the time, but when I came home I found about five or six piles of feathers that could identify at least three of my birds. There are no other signs that anything went wrong. I am trying to figure out what might have...

    The 8th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!!!!

    Question? Today is day 5 for me, and I just candled. All but one look to be developing very well. That one has the aircell on the side of the egg. These aren't shipped eggs, so I wasn't expecting anything like that. Not much sign of development in this one either, so it may already be dead...

    Feed store blend vs. name brand feed

    Next time I need chicken feed, I'll check the nutrition info. I dump the feed in a bin when I open a bag, and toss the bag, and don't have one of the feed store stuff to look at. But thanks for the idea, I think it is a good one. lazy gardener, when I first started keeping chicken a couple...

    Feed store blend vs. name brand feed

    I've been feeding my hens a feed blended by my local feed store, supplemented with Calf Manna. While I think they have been doing fine on this, I am always wondering if they are getting everything they need. Now a different store in town has started carrying Naturewise feeds, and I'm wondering...

    Michigan Thread - all are welcome!

    They are all locked up now. Originally, I was only letting them out for a couple hours in the evening, but they do so much better when they can move around and find their own places to eat and hang out, I had started letting them out all day. I can't bring myself to leave them locked up all...

    Michigan Thread - all are welcome!

    Last two birds now accounted for. They did some travelling. Remaining rooster was crowing his heart out, when the missing roo started answering. Tracked him through the woods by the sound of his crows across the neighbors property, I'm guessing they were in the 1/8 mile range from where their...

    Michigan Thread - all are welcome!

    Thanks. Plenty of cover around here. The 4 chicks have reappeared. And while I was taking a walk through the woods looking for birds, one of the missing hens started squawking near the house, so she's back with the flock now too. Hopefully the rooster and the other hen will reappear too...
