    Missing Chickens

    I hadn't caught that they were 8 weeks old. I thought it was months. I keep my chicks penned or cooped until they are nearly full grown and they stop chirping like chicks, sound more like a hen. The hawks are so bad here and I lost a half-grown one once. They can take off with them if they're...

    Is it possible he could have contracted rabies? Can chickens get rabies??? Something was going on. Maybe he got into some jimson weed or mushrooms, poison or other substances.

    Missing Chickens

    I had a hen stay gone for 4 days and nights after a predator attack. She is my favorite hen, the most affectionate and my best layer. She was clucking loudly in the front yard, standing in the porchlight to wake me up at 3 AM after a bad thunderstorm. She was upset but otherwise seemed to be in...

    Has anyone ever seen or heard of crows defending chickens or turkeys?

    Animals do help protect other species, or at the very least they communicate danger in general and the chickens are constantly in tune to this. I have free ranging chickens located near a state park so we have lots of predators. Hawks have been a problem. There is a blujay that will caw loudly...

    Ohio Revised Code and Ranging Chickens

    You do not need a permit to have backyard chickens in Ohio and you can petition your local lawmakers to allow certain provisions locally but here is a case that went to court and the chicken owner lost. I would not want the cost or hassle of a lawsuit so prevention of any neighborly disputes...

    Ohio Revised Code and Ranging Chickens

    Well I'm not a legislator and I don't write laws but you certainly have me doing my research. The revision to HR 124 failed in 2020. Here is the link: https://www.billtrack50.com/BillDetail/1098246. That doesn't mean it's all right to accuse good people of being in violation of laws or codes...

    Ohio Revised Code and Ranging Chickens

    The bill you are citing is from 2017 and has been revised in the state of Ohio. https://www.newsandsentinel.com/news/business/2019/03/ohio-bill-looks-to-allow-livestock-in-cities/. You are not even from our state, it appears to be the case. Unless you are an attorney or a member of local law...

    Nest box pads? (As opposed to loose bedding)

    I currently use the excelsior pads but have found they only last a few days so they are not economical. The chickens pull them apart, to the point it's sometimes difficult to locate the eggs. They have a paper lining that gets wet and easily falls apart. I like that I can compost them tough. I'm...
