Thanks for letting me know, I was kinda confused. And just wanted to make sure everything was good.

So we have some chickens (they are still quite young) and we introduced a few younger chickens (like only a few weeks old) and one of our silkies is kinda mothering them??? Like she will let the younger ones cuddle up under her. Is that safe? Should I let her do that? She's not even old enough...

Update, already the other Cornish chicks also seem to be sneezing, but are acting normal (we cannot seperate them from the rest as we don't have a warm enough place for them)

Hello! So I've got some Cornish chicks, yesterday one died, and today's another one of them is acting sick. It is acting lame, and is having a hard time breathing, I've put some electrolytes and probiotics in their water. I'm afraid I'm going to loose this chicken aswell. None of the other...

ahh thats not fun, but like I said earlier they will travel for miles sometimes. if you catch them maybe they have micro chips?

yes our great Pyrenees would get out all the time and be several miles away from the house, they are large and fast however I dont believe they should be an issue, but if you notice large animals or even small animals deceased around your area I would see if you can capture them and call the...

that is very true I will ask my dad about the food to see if its dissapearing.

so larger traps are better? we have caught several coons with ours but we havnt been lately for some reason. maybe its the lack of birds (we have like 4 left) but im not sure

ahh yes Great Pyrenees dont know boundaries. as far as they can travel is as far as there boundaries. they are also more active during the night for the most part. however they are super sweet if you get to know them at a young age (and keep the puppies age from born-3 from any small animals at...

yeah weve been having them killed, we have two live traps out at the moment one near the main coop and one near the old bantam coop (however our only bantam just lives with our goats now) is there any other ways we can trap coons without harming any of the rest of our birds?

Yes I understand that, we had about a 4 foot fence. We had planned on breeding the dogs, and tried an invisible fence but nothing ended up keeping them home. They would end up getting out all the time.

thank you for the advice, we have some in storage and ill asap help get that changed over

I appreciate the advice, and yes we had some Great pyrneese but they kept escaping the fencing we had was too short. but we had no issues with our flocks dying when we had them, is there any other animals you think we could use to help with predators?

Alright, do you see any trouble spots within the coop? I do have some pictures posted above. The coons havnt been around for a little while (Like I said they had been put down by my father ) but im not sure if there is anything I can do to keep them away from the area when we get the chickens.

I have posted some pictures of the coop, note the hole in the back leads to a well fenced in area for the chickens to go before we open up the coop in the morning.

We have found them in the coop out of the coop, in the woods but usually around dusk though right before we locked them up in the coop.the wired in area I dont think we have found them in the area though.

We for the most part let our flocks free range, but here is a picture Its very old, They usually slept in the rafters if not in the back part witch has an interior door

So our flocks (30 hens 5 roosters 3 Guineas,4 ducks,2 turkeys,5 bantams) were all wiped out by coons, we only have one guinea one Rooster one hen and one bantam hen left, I know we are planning on getting some Champion placing Wyandotte hens and a rooster, aswell as some others for rebuilding...

still ded
