    Frizzle hen sitting on nothing, won't eat!

    A broody hen still needs to eat, I think culling them for eating is a bit harsh. They will be awful mother's if they die from starvation....

    Raccoon attacks

    I don't think your "wrong " per say, you followed what animal control said to do. . . As your neighbors followed laws regarding your raccoon incident. You may be adding fuel to the fire but I don't think your wrong. I personally would have probably done the same thing... But maybe they will keep...

    The plan you have seems like a longer term plan that you've thought pretty well as you were pretty descriptive when explaining. With chickens, at times can be overwhelming but I would suggest sticking to the plan you made and making adjustments as needed over time. You'll know more of which...

    Is sense of smell strong?
