Wow, everyone sure has been busy! Congrats on the deer. Still no sign of that fox. No idea what I am going to do. I raked up a bunch of apples, cut grass and leaves and dumped them in the run for the chickens to play with. Kids were heart broken when I told them it got their pet roos...

Quote: Thank you DCBA although I am sorry to hear about your flock. I really would hate to have to deal with it for a whole year! I dont think trapping would work with our barn cats and all the other barn cats in the area. ALl I can imagine is all the cats we would be trapping. The only...

Thanks Black Brook I looked that up today as well Landowner: The owner or occupant of any land and members of his or her family may, without a license and subject to all other restrictions except seasons, hunt or trap on their own property for coyote, beaver, fox, raccoon, woodchuck, rabbit...

Thank you all for your advice and input. we are trying to keep people outside as much as possible however it is nearly impossible to have someone outside all day and night. No sight of it again... yet. So I guess its a waiting game. Everyone will remain locked up tight for now. Going to have...

Quote: The dogs are all up to date on their shots and are not allowed outside alone at the moment. As soon as I got my dads attention to point out the fox I took the dogs inside. But you are right that is good to post, I know so many people think about how cute foxes are and not about their...

Quote: That has to be a hard change. My dad grew up with a family of hunters so he knew everything from a young age as well. My mom was in the army and after she got married and had kids she didnt want guns in the house period. So big difference for him! Thats why my dad got the BB gun, teach...

It is not typical fox behavior as far as I am aware either. It is really strange that it is killing them and not taking them or eating them, I was unaware that that was a sign of rabies though. I learned something. I posted in the Wisconsin group to see if they knew if I need a permit or...

Quote: S.S.S that made me laugh thank you. I suppose I was worried that if one was sick with something there may be others that are sick as well and I should report it. Your plan is much more simple. The BB gun is on the top shelf in the closet my dad was teaching the 10 year old how to shoot...

Quote: erlibrd and Jim. That crossed my mind too, I wondered if someone had kept it as a pet. However a lot of things crossed my mind. And it does have me very worried none of the dogs go outside without me now. And I am concerned about the kids, last thing I want them to do is call it over...

Quote: My dad has a hunting rifle a .22? The rifle is locked up though cause we have kids ages 4 - 10 here very often. we grabbed what was closest and fastest cause we honestly didnt think it would stand its ground and stare us down. The other issue was we wanted to make sure it was legal to...

HI I have posted here before but it has been awhile. I am sorry if this is long but I thought I would get some Wisconsinites opinions on this. I posted in the predators section as well, but I am having a fox problem. It killed 6 roosters and one hen in 2 days. I free range all day but they...

Me too :( I am very proud of my poor roosters though, they did protect the flock the best they could. It's just the one fox that I have seen. it is pretty distinctive with half a mangy tail. I could not believe it turned around and came back so soon after being shot at and chased in a...

I have lost six roosters and a hen in 2 days. The chickens are free ranged but currently Locked up tight due to the attacks. The fox was in my driveway at noon. I had my dogs out with me one a lap dog which I immediately picked up. the other a shepard mix. the fox was neither scared of me or...

A lt of my yellow babies are getting splashes of colr on them as their feathers grow out. Maybe that will help me identify them. well at least thats what I am hoping for! the chipmunk ones well I still have no idea. Ill take pictures probably in a week and update the, I am super busy...

This one looks like my Egyptian Fayoumis

Yes there is a minimum order of 15 for the rainbow pullets I think. But they guarantee you at LEAST 3 different breeds. So between the rainbow order and the surprise I got I have quite a few easter eggers and a lot of patterned birds. SO I think I will have a good mix of colored white and...

They are doing great all of them are alive and well. They were born on May 23 so almost two weeks old and haven't lost any. I have one itty bitty bantam with feathered legs that has pasty butt. Just that one. But his butt was EXTRA poofy so I think it just got stuck on the feathers on the way...

I've never considered a sultan as a possibility. I will have to take a closer look at them. Hmm.

Sounds like a nice setup! I keep mine in an old horse stall outside in the barn. I sectioned it off to make it smaller for them that way if I have any escapes they are still confined and cant go far. They get more room but cleaning is interesting. They are getting big enough to start jumping...

Thanks for your guess Honora. It amazes me how closely alike a lot of the breeds look. I was going through cackle online and clicking open each and every link to look at the baby chick pictures. I finally gave up and came here! Thank you! Ill post pictures again when they are bigger for...
