    Thanks! We don't have weasels but we do have raccoons and opossums so we did put up chicken wire around the bottom. So far, so good!

    Should I feel guilty for having chickens when my neighbors dogs kills my chicken?

    Long term we will fence in the yard, until then we will figure out something to keep them safe!

    Thank you cafarmgirl and CrazyTalk. I look at it as both our faults.

    Ol Grey Mare, I am ok with the loss of a bird or two as we learn and they free-range. We just have to get better and learn from our mistake. I'm just sad that it takes the death of one of my hens.

    Thank you for the kind words. I tend to be too nice. I just don't want to have any quarrels with my neighbors. They are very nice and I don;t blame their dog, he was just doing dog things. We are going to reevaluate the free-ranging and see about putting up fence for free-ranging under supervision.

    Thanks! We don't have weasels but we so have other critters. Someone else suggested the same thing. We are going to install hardware cloth this weekend. Thanks for the feedback!

    Oh! Good point! I guess we need to test that! We are trying to handle them as much as possible so they won't run from us.

    We are brand new to the chicken world and are very excited to have our little girls (or chicken nuggets, as my husband lovingly calls them!) We knew we wanted only three chicken, so our coop is small. We want to expand the run after we figure out what we are doing! We started with a coop we...

    Hi everyone! I'm looking forward to the knowledge of the BYC community! Here's a little about myself! (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Brand spanking new. Just completed our coop (will post pics in the coop section, I think?). (2) How many chickens do you...
