    Sliver penciled Wyandottes wanted

    PeakyBeaky, Just hit your website. What a beautiful clan. The Roo's are so handsome, the hens are truly beautiful too. I wish I could keep some Roos, but the crabby neighbors. Funny how they have their hands out when it comes to eggs though. Anyway, nice flock! Nice website. No-roo-stew

    Sliver penciled Wyandottes wanted

    If possible, I would prefer large hens. I enjoy my bantam's, but prefer the medium to full size eggs.

    Sliver penciled Wyandottes wanted

    Looking to put some more beauty to my backyard flock. I would like to buy a couple of day old silver penciled Wyandotte pullets. I don't need many, just two or three will do. Of course, I'll pay per bird and shipping (postage) and any necessary packaging to get the wee ones here. Please reply...

    Do hawks return to the sceen of the crime for another meal?

    I never want to hurt and bird of prey or any predator for that matter. There is a distinct hierarchy of predator and pray animals. All prey animals have their eyes on the side of their heads to see nearly 360 degrees. The predators have forward looking eyes with binocular vision. It is my...

    Up in the Kenia, one would believe that there would be a greater predation from bears than the passing raptor. I am sure the simple buildings that we erect as coops are like the twig house in the three little pigs fairytale to them. My biggest fear here in CT is coons, opossums and mink...

    Do hawks return to the sceen of the crime for another meal?

    Yesterday when I arrived home from work I found my best broody hen eaten by a hawk. There were no other predator foot prints in the snow around the pen, the carcass was stripped of all meat and the poor frizzels feather were flying around the pen, which tells me she was plucked before she was...

    Do all chickens slow down egg production in the winter?

    Thanks to all who responded. What a very nice community. I thought that perhaps their egg production was down to the present light quantity, but it didn't occur to me that as little as 2 hours of light could affect it. My mixed flock is genuinely interesting, from my loving frizzle to my twitchy...

    Do all chickens slow down egg production in the winter?

    Hello All, New to the site, my name is Chris, and thought it might be a good place to answer some of my questions. I am a second time chicken hand, my first flock was killed by a raccoon family when the pullets were 4 month old. I learned a lot with them and remedied my short comings in my...
