Funny....aren't they?

Thanks. I'm just looking out for fellow chicken lovers.

The word “hormone” is derived from the Greek word hormo which means “to set in motion.” Hormones stimulate and regulate an endless list of critical functions within the chickens body. Hormones that are set in motion are being radiated (for a lack of a better word) Therefore by adding the...

This is great news. But if a flux capacitor is added to the roof of the coop you will have better results. Lol. Enjoy this day!

Quote: 100% correct. these are possum tracks.

For an attractant I have used anise. You know that liquid licorice flavored stuff. Coons love that smell. Any time I start to see coon sign around the coop I set either a 220 conibear in a 5 gallon pail or the largest havahart cage trap. I prefer the conibear. Usually it will only take 1 maybe 2...

"a good zap from a electric fence should do it" Exactly WIchickenraiser, I have a hot wire 6 inches off the ground and 6 inches from the top that runs completely around the entire run. I live in the middle of the woods with predators everywhere. The pop door is never closed. I have never...

Just checking in and saying hello to all. Summer has got me soooo busy. So busy that I find it hard to get on this puter and post. I see a few new friends have joined in the thread. Welcome to all newcomer's. After a brief scan I saw Al has a new pup, congrats. He is a great looking dog. I hope...

One of my Buff roos started around 4 weeks and here is a video of him at 6 weeks.

Here is the article in the paper. I was wondering if it was anyone here on BYC. http://www.lohud.com/article/20120614/NEWS02/306130109/Doctor-fights-Somers-chicken-restrictions-wants-keep-flock-13?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|Frontpage

We are a diverse group here. I think it is great that we can all laugh at ourselves.

You have to check with each town. I'm in Pawling and there are no set limits for chickens with the exception being the village, no chickens allowed.

LOL. Well I did have underware on. There is no pride when it comes to protecting the girls.

LOL. I was thinking that but wouldn't say it. It's always hard to see an animal in a bad way. We are human and do have compassion for all living creatures.

I feel bad for the little guy. To bad it is sick but that is nature. Tough to watch nature at its worst. I hope the conservation people get there soon to put it down. Great video.

Trail cam is all set up. If it keeps returning I will set a 220 conibear trap in the run at night. That will do the trick. Many skunks and racoons have made their maker by traps set by me.

Thanks, they were pretty shaken up. I am going to set up a trail camera to see if the perp comes back again tonight.

WOW! close call last night in the hen house. I sat Down around 7:30 pm to watch the pregame for the Stanley Cup Finals and totally forgot to lock the girls coop up. Well it was around 11:15 and I hear the girls making blood curdling screams. I run out with nothing but sneakers and a baseball...
