Any suggestions. We have lost five of our free range chickens in about a week. We just find some feathers. This is happening during the day. Fox or Coyote? No carcass left behind. Not raccoon. I'm going to keep them in their coop for at least a few days. I'd shoot it if I could see it and...

Help a yankee out. How do you manage a rooster. Mine was so aggressive. we had 11 hens for him. He still was rough on them and attacked all of our family. Any suggestions? I would like to have a self sustaining flock some day. We let them free range.

That looks like it should be just fine. Chickens are very hardy. I'm in central Ohio and we only give them some heat when it goes -10 or more. Vinal floor has been good for me but I would not do vinyl sides. Heat is worse for chickens than cold.

It's goat to feel so welcome!

Indeed!

Greetings from half way around the world! I have always wanted to visit Australia. Maybe some day. Do you live in/near a city or rural?

Good idea! I can partition the coop with some chicken wire. I have golden laced wyandottes, wellsummers, easter eggers and rhode island reds. This is my third flock. Thanks for the excellent idea.

Are you raising quail? Tell us about it? I have wanted to try and get a wild population established on our property.

Like 50-45-1 said, the fox got her. A fox leaves no evidence and takes the prey back to it's den. They are especially aggressive/bold in early spring when they have pups. So sorry for your loss.

Greetings, I have been visiting BYC for over five years but just joined today. I have 12, 6 week old chicks in the brooder right now and three older girls in the big coop from a previous flock. I joined today because I was looking for advice as to when and how to put them together. I have a...
