    Fox struggles!

    After losing all of my ducks and all but 6 chickens to 2 foxes this winter, we got solar powered hot wire for the run. It appears to have discouraged something at least once, we can see new dig marks next to the wire into the buried chicken wire, but it seemed to just stop digging, probably got...

    I think I want to cover my entire yard with poultry netting!

    Similarly, I used neon colored twine criss crossed and tied to poles supported by heavy iron umbrella stands (like for a patio table. These were easy to move around to different areas and my husband could easily mow the yard by moving them around.

    Egg did not come out formed, broke inside?

    Yes it easily fits. We just finished building a deluxe 12 x 8 coop, I can walk in and pet them on their perches, which they like. plenty of room for a small dog cage.

    Egg did not come out formed, broke inside?

    No, we don't have any oral antibiotics. How about any oils or tinctures? will anything like that work safely for chickens? I will get her tums to start with.

    My 2 year old RIR, lays consistently every other day as it gets cold. However 2 days ago, she did not want to come out of the pen with the others, but sat on the ground by herself. she let me pet her, no problem. I left the coop open for her but she stayed inside. She went to bed early...

    Have I been duped again?!

    YAAAY! Ya'll have made my day. Now I just have to finish the new chicken coop. The old one is too small for all of them and the RIRs are territorial so I will intro the new chicks to the new house first and the RIRs last. At least that is the plan.

    Have I been duped again?!

    I guess they saw me coming. I bought 4 Rhode Island red pullet chicks from tractor supply. Three turned out to be RIR roosters and one was a Buckeye pullet. I kept the Buckeye and found a home for the roosters (not easy). I decided to try again and went to Rural King. More choices so I...
