checked the game camera today and saw this very unwanted guest at the back corner of our chicken run

We just checked our game camera and saw that there was a fox along the perimeter of the chicken run! The photo is from a week ago, and other 2 cameras else where on the property show a fox a few days before it was by the coop. My question is, what should we do now? Ive been letting the...

We currently have 6 hens, and two roosters - a black australorp (called Oreo) and a bantam golden sebright (Hawkeye) Oreo is just too mean to us. When they're out of their run he's been attacking us more and more. We can't be scared to walk around our own yard! We tried to make it work...

Thanks BarbiD for directing me to your thread, interesting read. These are my first chickens as well.

Thanks for your replies. When I let them out for a bit after work yesterday I made it a point to follow them around particularly Oreo, he seemed more scared of me this time. I did have a broom in my hand this time though. But he's not always a little Jerk so I will keep at it. I noticed Hawkeye...

I have 6 hens and 2 roosters that we got at the end of april. One rooster is a black australorp called Oreo, the other a bantam rooster (golden sebright) named Hawkeye. The little guy was a random choice we made a tractor supply, they had no idea what breed he was so it was surprise when...

I would like to set up a larger area for composting, some wood boxes on the ground. My only hesitation has been placement. I have a plastic bin set up with drilled holes currently so I could get then hang of the process. Now that my chicken are 5 months old the poop is too much for the bin so...

It's our first year in our new home and we (well I became obsessed with wanting chickens!!) decided to get 8 chickens at the end of April, its been a long summer of learning about chicken care! Since I did all the research - the fiancé at times thought i was crazy when it came to their needs for...

less then 24 hours after putting the nesting boxes and oyster shells in the coop I received my first egg!!!! so exciting!

Thank you both for responding! They do look like golden comets, I wasn't sure what they were. At tractor supply they were just labeled pullets and the person working said they were just a mix of breeds so I was never sure what to call them. I just want to make sure my girls are getting...

I have 6 hens and 2 roosters I got 15 weeks ago from tractor supply. A few days ago I noticed what looked like yolk in a soft casing on the droppings board, and yesterday we let them all out of their run and right away one of the girls popped out a yolk and a small piece of shell in the grass...

thought so! we always called him Oreo since he was a tiny little fluffy white and black thing. now it just doesn't seem fitting haha

Ive suspected for a while it might be a rooster, but these are my first chicks so maybe all of you know better! He's front and center, about 6 weeks old.

Hello! New chick mom here We bought 8 chicks from tractor supply about 3 weeks ago. Now that they're (rapidly) growing I notice our one black australorp chick's wings are like a quarter the size of all the others. Is this normal? Also my fiancé really wanted one of the odd ball chicks still...
