Yea we got coyotes and foxes and possums around us. Thankfully haven't had any problems yet. I think the smell of our 4 dogs keeps some at bay. I think I'll try it the next day im off and home all day. Thanks 😁
I have 9 ducks and I have a small area fence in for them and a playhouse for their shelter and they're under a tree. And I have a kiddie pool for their water. I free range them every day. I need to get a picture of their lot now but that's the playhouse in their area before it was finished. It...

Thanks, I'm going to have to take the other roosters out soon they're fighting too much. I'm wondering if the two blues would get along or if I can only have one rooster

I was afraid of that lol Yea I'm going to keep one or 2 roosters the rest I'll sell, separate or process. I'm going to get more hens this week and as soon they're big enough I'll integrate them in.
Not really sure which ones are hens or roosters. I know the grey ones and the brown hens, I just need help with the speckled ones I'm pretty sure I know but just want others opinions
