I deployed secret evil plan #12. I put out a large live trap with chicken box attached. I put my least favorite hen in the box and hopefully she is having the worst night of her life. Every morning when I drive over I hope to see a bobcat who's night has been ruined by a foot hold trap,snare...

All bait stripped from posts. But i did relocate a raccoon that was in my live trap...to Heaven . Let's try this again. Re baited foot hold traps and wired bait to the posts with more wire. Photos tomorrow?

sat out there 50 yards away in a ground blind from 6am till 2:30,,,no sign of kitty,,probably still full from big turkey meal the day before.......... Then I deployed secret evil plan#2------foot traps with a chicken (dead ) hanging above the traps. Let's see if tomorrow curiosity doesn't kill...

I wish it were Racoons man. They are easy....electric fence and live traps with marshmallows will sort them out quick. Use that for next time..

I have lost 3 turkeys up to 30 lbs and 3 chickens in a week to a large bobcat and a smaller one. They are avoiding my snares and live traps so far. I have foot traps and body traps coming . By having the coop perimeter fence electrified I think I have driven these cats to late morn hunt. They...

I keep them in a 17x35 pen with big coop in there. But,,they roost up on top of coop every night.They want to be up high. Also put some branches 2-4 feet off the ground with a roof over it. They will all roost together on that in garbage weather.Whatever you make they will want to be off the...

Might I remind you that in this terrible economy you can get someone for pennies on the dollar to sit in a chair next to your Hens nest box and watch for chickens eating their own eggs. I mean you can solve your problem and help someone out who's in need of something to do with their day. Or...

looks like a classroom for 3 year olds......COOL!

Heres my group at early age males and female struttin it up!

What a crappy morning. A turkey hatched last night and the egg sack was huge. During it's thrashing around it's toes ripped it open and it bled all night,what a mess . Poor thing was still hanging in there this morning but was clearly not going to make it. I couldn't let it linger for the day in...

males and females will strut at 5 weeks. And clip the wings. My 6-8 week olds regularly fly over a 6' fence and I find them all over the place. Till I did alittle snippy snippy.Now they occasionally get over. Good luck

yeah , it's Hot in Florida right now. My birds have almost halted egg makin. They just hang in the Oak Hammock ,drink tons of water and limit their movement till the latter part of the day. Yours are doing what's normal.Panting is normal.Make sure they have some kind of shade,maybe one of those...

DUH!??! Everyone Loves eggs! Haven't had that happen as far as I know. If you find out for real let us all know

I don't know how many I've trapped and released (to raccoon heaven) but it's a lot. Marshmallows are the best for me in the live traps. When I used other things I caught Possums . I think the cat food or tuna with holes punched in it draws them into the area. I just want the ones cruising for a...

Quote: They are healthy,they graze the lawn,eat flowers,they eat bugs and scratch under my plants all day returning to the coop periodically to eat layer and grit. The fact that they spend time in the compost pile eating what is in there is no sign of bad health. I am not a commercial...

I have a compost pile tat we put all fruit,veg and other scraps into. My chickens stay in and out of it all day. But they still eat their layer. The only things I don't put in there is meat and onions. Give them all the veg and fruit scraps you can

I planted Lemon grass and citronella grass outside my coop and the mossys stay away pretty well from that. Plus it smell like pledge

Try sitting the chicken down and explaining to it that it's behavior of hopping the fence and going next door is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Possibly ground it for a few days and implement a chore list to keep it busy in your yard. Tell it of all the dangers out there for a chicken...

These are all mixes of Narraganset,Royal palm Toms and Broad Breasted Bronze Hens. I'll let them go till large enough for harvest. Just don't want to keep too many Toms into next years breeding season for fear of crazy fighting(bad enough with 2 Toms).Guess I shoulda kept better records or...

Anyone?? Bueller,,Anyone?
