    Have you gotten chicks from The Poultry House via Bonnie's Barnyard?

    Do you know if they sell anything beside baby chicks? For reasons which are not important here...I do not want small chicks- couple week old babies.. I need pullets that are at least 3 months along... If someone knows of anyone selling Sussex or Delawares in that age range...from Nashville...

    Something got into my secure henhouse last night...

    Still no luck. Whatever it is is studiously avoiding the trap, and it apparently canot get into the chicken house since we've reinforced it. I'll continue to lock them up at night until I catch something. Now, if it will STOP RAINING for a few days, I'll do the cornstarch/ talcum powder/...

    Something got into my secure henhouse last night...

    Well, the mystery is whatever it was the two time previous (last week) dragged the chicken it killed off..i could see feathers in the field. If is is a weasle, my question is, are they strong enough to carry of a full grown dead chicken? (full size hens, not bantams) As I said earlier, we have...

    Something got into my secure henhouse last night...

    A possum...really ??? This is 2-inch wide by 4-inch long..not 4 inch wide... I could see a weasle, or rat... Oh, i'm not doubting you..just that I've never, ever had something go INTO the closed, locked-up house. We did put hardware cloth (small hole fencing) over all the other fencing this...

    Something got into my secure henhouse last night...

    Something had gotten two of my hens in the last week or so, so i decided to start locking my flock up at night. They are out in a large (1/2 acre) fenced area during the day. The other two hens were just *gone*..I saw a few feathers in the field in the morning. Last night I locked them up and...

    Goose tripping over his feet.....

    Poor guy passed away about an hour ago. I looked out my window to see what he was doing, and he had slumped over on his side. I thought, "oh, ****"..and went out to see... He had apparently died not long after I put him in the yard, as he was already stiff. BTW, I had given him some liquid...

    Goose tripping over his feet.....

    No, his legs/feet are fine. I just checked on him... Even though he drank water this morning, i just went out and threw "treats" to everybody...lettuce, tomato ends (we had BLT's for lunch)...While everybody else ran to the goodies, he just stood there...even when i threw some directly in front...

Yesterday evening, as I herded them and the chickens back into their "yard"...I noticed the male wasn't moving as fast as the lady geese. As I got to the gate, he was the last one, and...

    Has anyone heard about the lebanon TN poultry show for this spring?

    Will there be someone/people at this show that can identify *what* type of chicken i was sold just recently? They were supposed to be Dominique/Domineckers(sp?) but I don't think they are... No, i don't have pictures of them..I have no way *to* take a picture... I've looked on-line, and haven't...
