I'm thinking foxes. Happened during mid morning and dogs typically leave the bodies after they've played/killed. Right?
So if anyone has a pair of blrw or any large fowl hens in the upstate, let me know. Jack refuses to come out of the coop and won't crow. Breaks my heart :-(
Hey y'all I'm back again! Seeing predators are an issue for y'all as well this summer. My flock of 10 were taken yesterday mid morning. All but my blrw roo. I guess ill look for a couple full grown ladies then get chicks or pullets at Chickenstock. Sigh...
Hey y'all!!! OMG it's been over A YEAR since I've been on BYC. Well 1 new baby, 1 new house, and 1 new job later here I am! Delighted to be back and hoping to get my new coop built next month so I can fill it with more lovlies. And yes, I still want a turkey. And BLRWs. And more silkies. But no...
Hey Y'all! So after 6 months of "serious researching" on BYC, a chicken coop and 4 pullets showed up in my backyard while my husband, Cleve, was away on a business trip. That'll teach him to leave me behind to swelter in the upstate South Carolina heat while he goes to Seattle! So far, Casey...

It's always a risk that any unneutered animal that goes outside will reproduce. He might become more interested in finding mates than livestock guarding.
Lord you don't get on for 4 days and you have 10 pages to catch up on! ok wha'ts the deal? My D'anvers still have not laid!! Amy or Kimberly, do you think they're older than what we thought?

They act more like sisters, too! Them two together can make me laugh so hard I almost split a gut! They are loads of fun to be around. Glad you got to go out, Miss Kimberly!
It was a gorgeous day yesterday and I got a good bit done while DH slept in the chair most of the day. How...
Got soooooo mad at my guinea girl this morning! Stupid thing blasted out of the front of the coop and proceeded to have melt down that she wasn't by her friends but refused to let me catch her. Oh well she's just gonna have schreech at her friends from the other side of the fence today!
I have a mixed flock of 15 (JG, EE, D'anvers, Silkie, bantam cochins, frizzles, and guineas) and everyone gets along great. The ones that were raised together tend to stick around each other more which makes me think if yours are all coming same time and same age there really shouldn't be any...
Got the ultrasound pics yesterday!!!!!And holy cow it's a boy! Still can't believe how, er, much you can see at 12 weeks. Whit Cleveland Blackwell is measuring 13 weeks though so my due date is July 4th. Oh geeze.

Very cute! What kind is she? Looks like a nice, cozy bed.
She is a Dachshund. Usually a very nice breed. She is considered a mini, weighing in at about 6 lbs. She is not spayed but I will have that done in the next month or so as soon as her milk dries up from her last litter. She...

When I had Leah, I had 10 crates of show dogs in my living room and my ex sister in law had lots of nasty things to say about that. Leah grew up crawling around with a lot of Boston Terriers and took her baby naps in one of the more cozy crates. Most all of my family was shocked but...
