    Raccoon or Weasel... HELP!

    I have seen them caught in a live trap like you're talking about. My old neighbor was a bird fanatic. I remember him doing as your grandfather suggested. He had straw bales and stacked them over the trap, covering the openings (he had a big live trap that the animal could enter from either end)...

    Raccoon or Weasel... HELP!

    I had a mink get 6 chickens and 6 ducks in one night. It basically tore the necks open and ate a little of the bird. I have heard of mink/weasels tearing the throat open and drinking the blood, then leaving the rest of the bird alone. If it is of the weasel family the best way to go about...

    2 hawks circling today : Can they fly off with a full size chicken?

    Had a Coopers hawk try and fly off with one of my full grown Mallard drakes once, he made it a little ways down my driveway with me chasing and yelling at him. Don't know if I scared him or the duck was to heavy, but he made it about 100 feet and 20 feet up before he dropped him. Duck was fine...

    First time hatching….when can I remove chicks?

    I leave mine for a day or so, until they are almost if not completely dry and fluffed up. I haven't had any problems yet with them running around and bumping the other unhatched eggs (knock on wood) where it has caused any hatching problem.

    where to keep food

    I keep mine right in our barn. What I found work best for me was using a galvanized trash can with a lid. The lid fits nice and tight and they hold 100 lbs of feed. Only had a problem one time and that was last spring we had a bear go in the barn after the feed I have for our deer, guess he...

    Looking to add ducks.

    We have a couple of ducks right now and I have been wanting to add Wood Ducks, Pintail and Mandarins. Does any one know of or sell hatching eggs for these? I have found plenty of places where I can purchase live birds, but I'm not really 100% confident in the shipping of live birds, never had it...
