That's how I came to the conclusion that these two are males. The three that I am pretty sure are females are also pretty easy. You can see Pepper next to Rebel. She is smaller and her head is very different. I only have one blue slate that I am not sure of. He/she was the largest poult...

Thank you again for all your excellent advice! Going to look at traps at Bass Pro and Tractor Supply later. I am attaching the most recent pictures of the two I think are toms. Rebel is the Narragansett and Bingo is the blue slate. Both get very red when excited. Rebel struts more. Bingo has...

Probably a stupid question, but is the largest trap the size I need for racoon? My up-close experience with racoons is babies scampering in a tree in my yard when I lived in NJ. Re: start of breeding, so I need to be rid of my extra tom(s?) by mid-late December? This is my first year, so I...

One last question, you answered Songster saying that your breeding starts in February. I am 25 miles inland from North Myrtle Beach, SC. When will breeding start for me? In December, my poults will be 5 months old.

Thank you! I know from road kill nearby that we have racoons, but have never seen tracks near my pond (and we have abundant crayfish there, as well as frogs and red belly water snakes). I rake leaves daily so I check for tracks almost every day. (Trying to keep the pond clear until I get the...

Thank you so much for your detailed reply! What size trap do you use? What predators should I be trapping for? I have never seen one, but I know we have possum, and I see the foxes traverse the far fence line almost daily. They used to come closer, but my 2 large dogs have almost unlimited...
