We have had a recent plague of feral dogs and I am close to running out of shells. I've got a Savage 69/E pistol grip with no choke, so not the best thing to aim with. I usually use BB shot from at most 8 metres (25ft?) depending on where I set up the ambush and usually in the dark (light...

All our hens (free ranging Japanese Bantams) do a giant, stinky poop two days after their first chick hatches. It's rare for many more to hatch after two days but sometimes the hen will continue to sit on the eggs and the next day or even two or three days later another chick appears. Regardless...

Hi We have about 50 Japanese Bantams (with long legs) that are free range, they lay regularly, we get about 70% hatch rate and we eat the cockerels at about 5 months when they start bothering the hens. Everything usually goes well with a new set of chicks, their mum looks after them, they grow...
