    urgent help with raccoons trapped loose in coop

    Long story short, we've had a terrible problem with raccoons killing my chickens. They actually broke a plexiglass run door to get in and kill my chickens. My chickens free range and will (wisely) no longer go in the coop at night so the door just stays open so they can lay eggs and eat/water as...

    What are my beauties?

    Thank you! I think so too. Raising chicks is such a funny business with its highs and lows. Right after they arrived, we lost *7* and I was devastated! Now it's so rewarding to have them getting to be full grown and starting to get a few more eggs again.

    Quote: Thanks for your input. It's so exciting finally getting help to figure out what they are. #1, I couldn't get a great look as her comb is fairly small.

    What are my beauties?

    For the most part, it's obvious who's a cockerel but I haven't figured out all the breeds that I received with my McMurray rare breed assortment. And then there are a few who are so gorgeous, even though I know what they are, I just want to share. #1 I have 3 who are identical, from what I've...

    dwarf chick?

    This spring, I had one chick that didn't grow as quickly as the others, fell way behind. She had a lot of issues with pasty butt. Once she got a little older and quit pasting up, she finally caught back up with her sisters and now I can't even tell them apart.

    I know this is a pullet, but what is she?

    I don't know much, but she reminds me of my Barnevelders.

    Would you cull for constant chirping? updte: blind.. what now? #12

    I'm an animal optimist, I guess. I had one small chick that I felt like had constant problems with pasty butt and was much smaller than her "sibs". After a while, the pasty butt cleared up and she's caught up with the others and is fine. So I like to give them every chance. I also had another...

    Metal Water Fount- What am I doing Wrong?

    We have both kinds. We started out with the plastic one but discovered we needed the metal one in the winter. DH built a warmer base that works like a charm to keep the water from freezing in the winter but it must be the metal waterer on it.

    Raising only roosters?

    My family went on a brief getaway to a more rural part of Ohio this week. We drove by some different rundown places with a number of roosters in individual small runs with small shelters. Am I wrong in thinking they're raising roosters for fighting or do people raise them like this for 4H or...
