    Dog killed neighbor’s chickens

    I really appreciate all the support and further advice, but I do want to clear somethings up real quick. I saw that other post myself, and it isn’t my neighbor (the poster lives in a different state). But the situations are similar in many ways. Also, I don’t believe my neighbors are “nasty”...

    Dog killed neighbor’s chickens

    Thanks everyone! I have spoken to the young man and his parents, all of whom were sorry. He raked the leafs in my yard and we called it a lesson learned. I have since installed locks and posted more signs. As for my neighbor and his chickens- his wife got back with me. Informed me they didn’t...

    Dog killed neighbor’s chickens

    This last Friday a little boy next door went into my yard to retrieve his football (whole other issue there) and let my dogs out. He told me of it right away and I started trying to track them down. Around 20 minuets went by when I heard two shots. My dogs came running home, covered in their own...

    Are they big enough to slaughter?

    Here is a pick of the meat birds I’ve been raising. I’m not exactly sure on their age (stupid me, I lost track), so I’m wondering if they’re ready yet or if they need another week. This is my first time raising chickens of any kind. TIA! BE779A21-F240-4B07-AEFF-EDA303EAFDE7 by Kaycie Jones...

    Raising meat chicks outside in winter?

    Thanks for the replies! I adjusted their lamp so it was closer to them. Since then they hang around it when sleeping or resting, but they're not huddled in a tight circle. I too was concerned about the clamp working, so I attached a construction clamp to it my husband uses when building...

    Is straw okay for litter?

    Thanks for all the help everyone! It is a vacuum waterer that I use, and my husband figured out tonight that it wasn't level. I thought I was crazy, because I was having to refill it four or five times a day, and I couldn't imagine 12 chicks drinking that much! We made some adjustments for now...

    Is straw okay for litter?

    Hi everyone! I've been using straw for litter with my chicks. I got them a week ago, and I've changed out the straw once so far. Is this proper litter? Their stomachs look all crusty but not red or irritated. Is this okay? Or is it because the straw is getting wet from the water feeder? Not sure...

    Raising meat chicks outside in winter?

    A week ago I bought 12 Cornish crosses to raise for meat (supposed to be ready in 9 to 11 weeks). I have an old wood garden shed in my backyard, and I've put them in there. I built a box out of 2x4s and chicken wire, put a layer of straw down, then stacked a bale on each side of the box to help...
