Thanks. Sounds pretty wild.

Every night something eats one of my chickens. I'm thinking its a bobcat because my husband seen one in our yard a couple of times. My chickens are in a pen with a six foot high fence that's connected to a barn. I don't know how to stop whatever is eating them. Any ideas?

That is so sad. I can't believe someone would do that. But don't give up. Giving up would cut off all chances of having fun with your birds completely. Something keeps killing my silkies, and it seems hopeless to ever have a nice flock of silkies, but I rather try because I love silkies. I'm...

I have been trying to keep some silkies in a barn I have. But something always comes in an kills my hens. It leaves the rooster alone....(the coward isn't doing a very good job protecting his hens)....but it always kills my beautiful hens. What can I do? Do you think a big duck or goose will help?

Positive. He acts like one, looks like one, and he crows.

I've heard that silkies aren't supposed to be very good layers. I got silkies cuz I thought they were cute, not cuz I wanted eggs from them. I have one cute black silkie hen, and a white silkie rooster. (My other hen got killed). She started laying eggs a few weeks ago; and she has done...

I suppose the mom calls aren't very broody? Why are they so hard to hatch in an incubator?

I suppose that's the way I should go. I don't actually have feeders, and so I just give them a portion every day. Obviously its not enough.

You got some awesome silkies! I hope my girls grow up to be that beautiful. They seem to be turning out pretty nice and fluffy.

I have a great fascination for the adorable call ducks. I was wondering if anyone has any information/pictures of them. I read somewhere that they are easily tamed, but that they are hard to raise/breed.

I was wondering how much I should feed my chickens. In one pen I have 11 Australorps, 2 barred rocks, and 1 dominique. They never seem to get full. The australorps are still growing, are quite active, and very lean. I want to fatten them up but don't know how. They never seem full! Right now I'm...

Beautiful coop! Something nice to show off! : )

Good job. What a nice coop!

Absolutely beautiful! I'd love to have a chicken home like that.

Absolutely stunning!

Great job! I'd love a coop like that. : )

Good job!

Very unique. I'd like to see how you'd make a play house for children---if that's just for your chickens. : )

A very beautiful chicken coop and pen!

Well. I'm raising my chicks for layer....but quite a bit of them ended up being roosters and so they will I guess be considered "eaters" cuz I plan on eating every one of them if I can't sell them.
