Hey there, A really easy solution is a motion sensor high pressure sprinkler. If you hook it to a 55 gallon drum of water and white vinegar, then secure it on the roof of your coop, anything that comes near will get it - and get it good. the water may not bother them after a while, but the...

Which eggs does he not think he can eat? The bantams or the ducks? Whichever, I think I would order some lizard eggs of some kind on Ebay and make him two plates of scrambled eggs: 1 being the Giant Man-Eating Iguana and the 1 a nice plate of Bantam or Duck eggs. Let him know that they both...

We don't see many coyotes here in - I know they are here, I am surrounded by woods - but the raccoons must be eating them because those little beasts are at the top of the food chain around here. It gets REAL bad once they eat one of your animals - then they ALL come for a meal. You will have...

Adorable little babies! I am on my third attempt at incubating Seramas. Its been a not so funny comedy of errors. Bought a batch from Frank and Deena but they got lost in shipment and were a week late. I put them in, but nothing developed at all. She sent me a second batch and they arrived...

Please please tell me how to do the meal worm thing! I tried red worms but it is way too humid here in Southeast Texas so all I grew was a penicillin plant! Is there a website? How long to get actual meal worms?

Dear Lord in Heaven, please be with Brandon today and in the coming days to strengthen him and help he and his family face what stuggles you have set before them. I ask this in your glorious name, Amen. Done, and happy to do it! How about we all stop at 8:15 CST to pray in unison. By my...

We have a very large rooster who is the BIG MAN ON CAMPUS - his name is Flash and his pic is my avatar. I learned from my Dad that in the world of chickens, there can only be one boss so he kept a fly swatter hanging on the door of the coop. Whoever walked in took the swatter and had to watch...

That's how I got my thoroughbred, Twiggy. I drove by and saw her tied to a tree. All 17 hands of her, once a regal race horse, starved and tied to a tree with no water, chewing at the bark of the tree for nutrition. There was no one in sight so I untied her and tied her to the tailgate of my...

Does anyone "live" with their chickens? I read some posts here and there where it seems the chicks and/or hens are more indoor pets than livestock. I deeply love my chickens and although I wouldn't want to do it all the time - it would be nice if I could invite my hens inside occasionally...

Ok, I am jealous. I can't get mine to stand still long enough for me to take a gorgeous picture like that. You must have a good camera! Congratulations!

Hey Michele, How much of a fee are we talking about? $0, $00, $000? Didn't want to have to tap into my shoppin money! LOL What should I expect to see there? Is it just poultry? Sari

Get ready to document your hatch. That's what I did. Do you have a camcorder? Get that book out and learn about stop action photography - that is very cool. It took me all day to figure that out, get the tripod just right, get the angle I wanted, then make sure the rest of my room looked...

Howdy right back...welcome!

We have moles too. I have not heard of the egg thing. Are they rotten eggs? Right now my tom cat takes care of them quite efficiently. He has no shortage of critters to chase though - I will have to try this out. Just stuff a rotten egg in a hole?

Not family (I'm a rancher's daughter so they actually made fun of my corporate job!), but people at work did - that is until I took a week long vacation in Colorado funded completely from my little poultry enterprise. THAT shut them up.

Oh my, that is terrible news. I hate to tell you this, but I have had this happen to me - years ago. I learned later that Benzocaine is actually an acceptable euthanasia method for mostly amphibians and fish but it killed my chicken just as fast. I found this for you to reference...

OMG It Sure Does! I forgot to tell you that. Beware - may want to use the Betadine - LOL. I have 4 bantam cochin hens and I call them Diana Ross and the Supremes because three are all black and one is a lighter grey color. They are sooooo grump (can I say that?) with each other! Constantly...

This recession is really sad. One thing you may consider that I have seen happening in Texas is horse owners reaching out to land owners who have no livestock. Often these are old folks living on many acres who could use the extra money. Horse owners pay for grazing rights and it is much...

Hey there, Have you looked under her wing on that side? It is Spring time and the roosters get VERY agressive with mating at this time. Quite often, they will gouge the hens with their spurs and rip their skin on their side. Another sign is if they are losing feathers on their backs...

Ok, chickens have a crop where they store their food. They aren't really prepared to use it until about this age. They are growing so fast they will eat verociously, fill their crops up (like tumors on the side of their necks!) and like all little children who over-indulge, they will sway...
