Looks to be a rat. We are trapping them as we speak, using the Ratanator. Where there are chickens and feed there will be rodents. We have holes just like that. I would start taking care of the issue, or soon be overran.Good luck. Rats are very wary of new things. Maybe bait the trap without...
Interested in starting a Sumatra flock. Hoping that this thread stays active. Looking at just getting a few to start, not looking to show , here in West Virginia Ive yet to find someone who keeps them. So what would be the hatchery to get them from would be my question. Any thoughts shared would...
Yeah , he was making them a nest . He is a gentleman . The hens love him . I have a red rooster (kept seperate) that when near them , they just scream their head off. And outta nowhere , Brutus will come !
Thank you for repying! I will be sure to tell them about your praise:) lol,

My Sebrights! They are so curious ! Vocal and just comical !

Just found this thread! I'm going back to the beginning !
What I have read thus far , is exactly why I wanted a dual purpose breed.
Thanks for starting it, and keeping it active:)
Maybe. I can't afford the hardware cloth atm. I'm gonna double the wire for now. The folks who had this place before us poured concrete around the coop about a foot deep . I know nothing is digging in . Also , the entire coop is wired from bottom and the top . A wired box if u will . I'm new at...
Greetings from Beckley folks ! Hope all are well .
Just a picture heavy update on my birds!
