    Roo or Pullet???

    I told someone they could have him if it was infact a cockerel. I just wanted a few more people to tell me they thought it was a roo before I gave him away. I am kind of in a hurry because I cannot have him start trying to crow. These are secret chickens.

    Roo or Pullet???

    16-17 weeks. It is a good bit bigger than all the other ones I got at the same time. And it is very aggressive towards all the other ones and even to the older hens.

    Such a sad day.

    The only problem with my coop and run is i didn't shut the door. It is secure and the only way in would be tunneling and he would have to go a foot under ground. The only time I let them out now is while I am out there. I haven't trapped him yet but shooting him isn't an option since I live in a...

    Such a sad day.

    I did not take offense to that at all. I plan to be very cruel to this fox whenever I catch him.

    Such a sad day.

    The fox came back again yesterday morning. The chickens were still locked up. I ran and grabbed a shotgun and when I came back he was gone. Then he came back again last night and was screaming like a baby and kept walking up and down the fence line. I'm not going to be able to have the trap set...

    Such a sad day.

    I guess I am going to leave the rest of mine and the new ones I will be buying in the coop and run unless I'm out there until I get the fox taken care of.

    I worked for an extermination company for a while in their wildlife division. I will catch him.

    Such a sad day.

    I have lived here for 3 years. In a not so rural area I'm 1/4 mile from a Walmart and neighborhoods all around. I have never seen one either until today. He didn't even try to eat them he was just killing them and moving on to the next.

    Such a sad day.

    I got up this morning like I always do at 6:00 and went to the kitchen to make coffee. I heard my hens making a little ruckus and then all was quiet. A couple minutes later all hell broke loose and I saw one of my hens fly across the yard. I ran outside to see what was going on and spooked a fox...

    Production is down

    How long can it take to get back to normal?

    Production is down

    Is it common for egg production to drop when new pullets are introduced to the flock and at the same time I got rid of the dominant hen. I was getting 11 or 12 a week out of my two hens. the same day I introduced 8 pullets I sold my dominant hen. Last week got 7 eggs and this week 5. Is this normal?

    What breed?

    A lady sitting in a parking lot on the side of the road had these two pullets and about 100 foot of chickenwire. I told her I only had 10 bucks and she gave me all of it. Apparently she was a pothead and on a whim decided she wanted chickens and wanted to name them "waffles" and " pancakes"...

    Introducing chicks to my flock

    I have 3 hens that were given to me last year. The biggest one "Big Mama"is mean and I have figured out in the last week or so she doesn't lay. I have been getting a dozen eggs a week. We never saw her sit in a nest box so I locked the other 2 out of the coop for the day. Both of them layed next...

    7-8 week old can you tell, cockerels or pullets?

    1. 2. 3. These are the 3 I'm worried may not be pullets. It wouldn't be that big of a deal but I'm not supposed to have chickens in my neighborhood and I cant have a cockerel learning how to crow at 4am. I have to get rid of them as soon and I am pretty certain.

    Post your pics! :)

    Right now it's very basic. Just a place to get the chicks out of the garage. Eventually it will have 3 nesting boxes and a roost pole. This was a quick way to get them out of the garage and slowly introduce them to my older hens

    Post your pics! :)

    Built this today to house my chicks until it's time to introduce them to the rest of the flock and move into the larger coop. I'm going to build a platform for it to set on so that the enclosed portion has a floor and the chicken wire portion will have a ladder down to the dirt.
