So I have finally decided to start a BYC page. Why? Because I don't sleep well at night and I thought it would give me something constructive to do, and tonight I have plenty of stress.
So a little about me: I'm Lindsay, I have three little girls, Logan (4), Jordan (3), and Morgan (1), and a...
I was a bit concerned about the girls watching. They have seen other animals processed, but never their "pets". They were actually very interested in the parts, playing in the feathers, and poking the heads with sticks (go figure), even going and catching the next one in line. My youngest was a...
I rescued over 50 birds. Little did I know I was getting about 20 mini T-rex. They show no mercy and will draw blood anywhere they can reach. They are fed daily and also free range. So they are not starving. They have also been wormed twice to rule that out. They are just evil. Today my oldest...
I have processed everything at some point during each of my pregnancies. Chickens, turkey, deer, squirrel, raccoon, opossum, etc. I have never had anything but a healthy baby each time. Dr. didn't mention that it was ever of any harm.
I love our rabbit! I really didn't think I would, but the kids wanted a dog, and I didn't want another dog on our busy road. So I picked up this little furry creature and brought it home. It doesn't eat near as much as the chickens, poops in his litter box, stands up on your legs to be pet, and...
Honestly, I think the most expensive meal I have ever eaten was a hair over $50 at a restaurant that we went to before prom. I thought it was ridiculous and I could have cooked the exact same meal at home for about $8 for the two of us. Now even with three kids and the husband and I, we go out...
One week ago I cleaned the entire fridge, top to bottom, tossing everything into the compost bucket that could not be salvaged. I spent the evening with my daughters at my parents house this evening and come home to put some leftovers in the fridge. There is now a blood pool from a thawing wild...
I have about 25 or so roosters here ranging from 10 weeks to unknown age adult. The oldest is a SLW and the next 3 in line are Red Sex Links about 18 weeks old. The SLW is skittish around humans and non-aggressive with my girls and humans, the way I prefer my roos to be. He's an excellent watch...
We have been checking all of the trees at night that are anywhere near any of the coops. I have a coon hunting headlamp or I use a spotlight that plugs into the truck/car. Caught two more young coons last night. So far the dog food is working well, but I did manage to catch a cat last night too...
Before I separated roosters I just waited until they were up for the night and did a quick head count. If I got the wrong number I counted by breed. Now I go out and count what I have separated into a rooster run. There are 21 in there, and I wouldn't be too upset if something ate the evil...

If they keep comming back, after you've dispatched them......I'd say you have Zombie Coons? In that case, you have a whole other problem on your hands.
Yikes! I think these are just friends and relatives of the dispatched coming back, but maybe....We have had some weird things spotted...
bahahaha, it spooked me the first time I was browsing through pics, but it turns out the husband left an antler chained down behind the house to see what would eat it...he's weird....
So far after the first 3 losses, we tightened down the roof panels more securely and haven't had another loss. I do not believe that a coon could in any way get inside the coop or run. Windows on the coop have hardware cloth on the inside and out with wood trim to keep it held down securely. I...
