Raccoon. They can open gates and simple locks. They also like to cause feather havoc but, thank God Mr. Rooster won that battle. But, he'll be back. Set traps and catch that bugger. I just trapped a 45lber! He was heavy and Big!!! He's no longer able to kill my girls again.
Found Hen laying down. Right leg curled toes, non weight bearing. No obvious I jury or reason. What are your thoughts to fix this. Eating, drinking with dish nearby her head. Poop watery, no real form. No one else is sick. I pulled her from the flock immediately. Please advise.
Thank you.
I have an Omlet door for 4 years now. I replaced the batteries but the control panel won't light up to even open the door manually. I cleaned the terminals but still no luck. Any ideas?
I also use the Deep Bedding method in my coop. I think it works best for me because I'm lazy and don't want to scoop poop very often. I find the girls keep it stirred up in the mornings before the auto door opens at 0700. (Lazy! Lol).
I spend a lot of time outside as they peck around for bugs...
