Quote: Well, in that case, I get the up close and personal award, killed mine with a club in the run

Just killed one this morning thats been getting in the run. I tried to "educate" them with my sons red ryder BB gun, but they just keep coming back. I patched all the holes that I thought they were getting through and the little $#@% tunneled under the coop. He's in the big nut tree in the sky...

When I decided to add a new one to the flock, I went with two. They just get so lonely on their own, much better to have two or more.

I havent read through every reply but i thought i'd add my opinion. With my wife and I we dont have a yours and mine system, its ours. If one of us wants something for themselves then we figure it out and git er done. when two people get married and become/start a family selfishness is the first...

We used to just leave them alone, she'll take care of the chick and the chick will just crawl under momma while she's sitting. Sometimes we get too involved in the natural process of things. It'd be another story if they we incubated

Mine are about the same age, theyre 6 1/2 weeks, they'll be outside permanant tommorow, working on the run today

I have one of those tubs you get from home depot or stores like that for mixing concrete. theyre about a 1 ft 1/2 wide, 2 1/2 ft long and about 6 inches deep. I use a regular house window screen and sift the dirt which makes it really fine and removes debri. It works great and the girls spend...

Your nameless RIR looks like a Sadie to me

Quote: We bought a wireless system from amazon, ASTAK brand. The receiver plugs into any TV or VCR (nice for recording while your gone)with RC jacks. The one we bought came with three cams and you can set it to loop through all 3 cams or just one or two for that matter. They have the option...

When my Barred was two weeks old, it was laying on its side legs extended, looked dead, So I said "chicken" which I use to call them and she jumped right up. I can relate and dont think youre being mean. Its not like your jumping out of the bushes screaming after them

I asked my son to upload a video for me and he took it upon himself to do some editing...lol.

I have a security cam on my coop/pen with night vision. Its been a great thing to have, I spotted a small possum sneaking in one night and ran him off and patched the hole. My cam also has a mic so I can hear them if they go to rasin hell. Hook it up, its a great thing to have !!

At 3 months, you can feed them cracked corn, oats, etc, same as a fully grown bird.

I butchered two of my reds today, they had names and lived a good life. I treated them very well, they free ranged, listened to me play the fiddle and would jump in my lap and eat out of my hand. I kept their pen and coop clean, fresh straw for their nest box and clean pine shavings regular.I...
