I have a pair of bantams, which I kept in their coop for two days before releasing them to free range. They roost in the coop every night. I would like to add five pullets to the (currently tiny) flock. Do I still need to keep them locked in the coop for the mandatory 24hours, or will they...

Use a spring loaded airsoft gun. It will hurt but not cause bodily harm.

In order to humanely dispatch the rats/mice, wear a thick gardening, welding, or leather glove. Hold the rodent firmly, and smash him on the ground with considerable force. This is not for people with a weak stomach, but it is very humane, the rodent feels absolutely no pain, as long as it is...

my game used to rape my hens and attack anything that entered the yard

i just let my chicks free range with supervision every day, and they get all the grit they need. if they are stuck in the brooder 24/7, they will need grit.

Thanks a lot for the great responses, I'm learning a lot. I think I'll go with the automated coop door! If only I could find somebody in Israel who has 'em....

Thanks for all the great responses, but I have a question/clarification. My thread starter was supposed to have this general question of can my leghorns fly higher than a fox can jump, therefore giving me a chance to keep their door open 24/7. Now a ladder would sort of defeat the purpose...

I have a flock of eleven black/cuckoo leghorns. They are currently in their brooder, but I have begun making plans to build a coop. I would like them to be completely free range, but we do have foxes and possibly jackals living on the mountain behind our house. I'm not even sure if we have a...

1. You can really eat the egg strait from the butt?? 2. Is it safe to eat the blue eggs?? No way those are natural! 3. Ewww, you can eat a fertilized egg? Also, I once convinced my sister that chickens give milk: Me "You do know that chickens give milk right?" Her "No way" Me "Than what do...

I wish i had a parrot a hahn's macaw would be ideal :(

With the smaller kids thing, he is secured in a a run, as pointed out in the original question, and i advise people that he can and will hurt you. I know that I will never be able to cuddle with him again, but i have seen on other places online that people use forceful cuddling and feeding from...

Thank you for the info. His behavior isn't interfering with the care of the rest of the flock, but is more of an annoyance, nor am i going to hatch eggs. Despite his aggressive demeanor, I would feel guilty butchering the once-docile roo. I notice you mentioned, "If you are insistent on taming...

Why will he forever be in pain?

Awwww, c'mon guys, he's not that bad, i am not gonna kill him, that's mean. Just tell me if there is a way i can calm him down. When he was younger (just before his fancy tail feathers) he would always cuddle in my lap and take a nap, and then one day while i was holding him, he pecked me...

My English Game Cock wont stop attacking anything that enters the run. Nothing I have tried has stopped him. He is the reason we put our chickens in a run in the first place. Is there any way i can tame him down/ dominate him (if that would work)? He makes interacting and properly caring for the...
