    Today my gals got a goldfish AND a mouse as treats. It's a Christmas miracle!

    Do you have Muscovys? One of my EE pullets got caught in my live trap once. She won't make that mistake again!

    YO GEORGIANS! :)

    When I had that problem I set some live traps around the coop baited with the "leftovers" of the attack. I'm not sure if I caught the original perpetrator or just someone cleaning up its mess, but so far I've caught two possums, a racoon, and a skunk. Cameras are a good idea. I've also heard...

    Oh no! So sorry. We lost two layers to aerial predators before the coop was netted over the top.

    Also, any of the heritage breeds are a safe bet. They're old historic bloodlines from leaner times, so they're thrifty on feed, good foragers, good parents, disease resistant, consistent layers, and grow a nice amount of tasty meat. They work well in lots of climates too and have pretty even...

    As far as breeds go, as long as they aren't a particularly adventurous breed like game fowl they'll be pretty good about staying close to familiar territory. And once they've slept there for a few nights they'll have learned where home is and always come back at sunset. If you have trees...

    If you have any youngsters in your neighborhood looking to try their hand at responsibility and make a bit of money you might be able to recruit a chicken apprentice.

    I would try searching in the illnesses section of the forums or posting there. You might be able to get some answers. I've never had this situation, but I hope it gets resolved and that your girl is ok!

    Same here! Even the one with a porch is nicer than mine. My birds sleep in two large doghouses to which we added roosts, nesting boxes, and drawbridge style locking doors.

    I've only ever been to one, but it seemed like people were having no trouble selling their animals. Just come prepared to haggle! A lot of folks only want hens, but I'd imagine purebred cockerels would go over pretty well. I live close, but if I were traveling I'd want to make at least my gas...

    I've heard people recommend misting with a weak solution of hydrogen peroxide and water whenever they get dry. The HP kills the mold and it won't hurt the plants or the chickens.

    I thought that's what I had done, but the mobile version of BYC is kinda hard to figure out. I'll check them out. Thank you!
