Hey, y'all! Once again, I haven't posted in forever! I've been very busy lately and haven't had the time. The bobcat that was previously getting my birds hasn't come back and their coop and run are pest proof. I hope everyone and their birds are doing well. How much have I missed?
Happy New Year everyone! I've been really busy lately and with all this rain, my chicken pen has needed extra cleaning. Because of the warm weather, two of my three chickens are still laying. At least I don't have to buy eggs!
As you all know something has been getting my chickens so I set up a couple of trail to see what it was. When I checked them last night there were like 50 pictures of a huge bobcat trying to get inside their coop! I will post pictures later. I'm going to kill that thing!
So, I was wondering how many chickens everyone has. I have three chickens and two ducks. I had six chickens and three ducks but some of them got eaten by a fox. I feel like I don't have enough birds and want to add to my flock. How many do you think I should get?
Do y'all think that I should get a rooster? I know this is really random but I just wanted to know. My rooster got killed almost a year ago and my hens are doing fine without him. I don't really see the point in having one! What do you think?
My brother was out almost all night waiting for that critter to come back for more chickens and it didn't show up. I still have all my chickens this morning too.
So, last night, I was taking my dogs out and my chickens were flipping out. It was about eleven so it was pitch black and my only light was a small headlight. By the time I put my dogs up and got to my chickens, my male Rouen duck's head was completely torn off. I'm guessing a raccoon pulled his...
Sorry that I haven't posted in a while! I've been juggling school and soccer so I have limited free time. I still have two silver duckwing OEGB cockerels. I'm hoping to find them a home soon!
