that first black one looks like a black sex link, judging by the golden tinge on the breast feathers. Second group sure does look like silkies. The white ones... uh I dont really know! But the last pics- the two deeper red ones are most likely RIRs and the lighter red with white underfeathering...

I have two Welsummers that I got from my local feed store, so I dont know what hatchery they came from, but the hen does indeed lay the most beautiful dark brown eggs. She doesnt lay terribly well, though... just through the summer. She is also rather flighty and skittish, but not mean. The...

beautiful egg! love it!

Well, thanks for all the suggestions.. but now I know for sure; this morning my trap was occupied. It was a skunk! So we took him far away (very carefully, I might add!) and let him go, and hopefully that is the end of the problem. I had heard that skunks would get chicks but I didn't think one...

I had kind of thought snake at one point but I figured they wouldnt still be active right now... we had a frost last Sunday! And would a snake dig a tunnel under a wall like that? I found some other spots around the stall that had been dug at, too...

I have (well, had) a broody hen on 4 chicks, about a week old, in the corner of my chicken-coop stall (it is a horse stall with chicken wire enclosing the open top portion and boarded up elsewhere), plus a cage top over them for the night. Well this morning I let the other chickens out, took the...

I have two young Welsumer roos for sale. They are about 5 months old. They were incubated, hatched, and raised free-range by my broody hen, so they are very 'predator-wise,' -- if they weren't they wouldnt still be alive! If you are looking for a roo to protect your free-range flock, one of...

ok, Thursday morning my carefully camo-ed trap was tipped over, drug around, the branches and logs scattered, and naturally, was empty. So whatever-it-is had a field day tearing it all apart. My mom didnt set it while I was gone, so obviously nothing since then. I guess Ill try it again tonight...

I took a half hour tonight camo-ing the trap. I swear you can hardly see it. Look heres a picture: Cant see it, can you?! Told you it was well hidden. Well anyways, it is well covered, and I stacked wood against the back and sides, so hopefully whatever it is can only get the bait by...

Well, this morning the small trap was sprung and empty, the bait was gone from the 'glass jar weasel trap', and nothing else was messed with. No marshmallows eaten, the tuna in the big trap undisturbed. Maybe I do need a bigger trap. Maybe I need to disguise it. And Im about ready to try the...

thanks everyone for the help!!! Tonight on the menu I have: the small wire trap with chicken pieces the wooden trap, empty but open a new weasel trap idea: a gallon glass jar buried up to the neck, with chicken in it. Supposedly, the weasel falls in trying to get the bait, and cant get back...

Ok, so I didnt get it that first night. So I have 3 traps set up now, and have set them all every night. One big wire box trap, one small wire box trap, and a wooden box trap. I baited the two smaller ones with a road kill squirrel., and the bigger one with some vegetable scraps. Nothing...

Quote: So what you're saying is put all the mamas in there, then in a few days let them out? The only thing is one of the mamas is killing the other chicks. Ugh, why do chickens have to be so stupid? XD Oh well that explains it. And made me remember where Id heard about chickens killing...

Ok, something got one of my roosters last night. And I really want to get rid of it fast before it gets rid of any more of my birds!!! (or gets wise to my not-very-nice-intentions for it... ) I had this roo separate from my flock cause Ive got another one with them. So the roo was in a dog...

Maybe you could go on and sell most of them, and leave momma just a couple to keep her happy and occupied...

I have 6 eggs under my Natasha... hatching today! 2 are already out!! they are 5 welsumer, and 1 EE/welsumer cross... cant wait to see what that one turns out to look like

bump

Ok, I really need to be rid of the BR roo... I am going out of town weekend after next and my 'chicken sitter' doesnt want to deal with anything extra! (I have him separate from my flock, as I already have a rooster with them) He is FREE to any good home!!!! If you want him, or know somebody who...
