Been a while since I've gotten on here to look around since the design changes a couple years ago. Last years predators just about wiped out most of my flock. Only 2 Turkeys left (both Toms), ducks gone, all but 1 of my BBS Orps (Blue hen left) only 4 grown hens left out of about 40. My Silkies and Phoenix are kept locked up in their own hutches so I still have them but the hawks and coyotes just about got everything else. 1 BBS Orp 2BO & 1EE is all that's left.

Got about 50 pullets about 2-3 months old now from our feed store & at TSC growing up to replace what i've lost. In the last couple weeks I have hatched out some silkies and about 6 silkie/phoenix mixes under some broody silkie hens, can't wait to see what they look like after feathering out.

Picked up the last 3 Khaki Campbell ducks TSC had at Easter & got 6 Turkey eggs from a friend under those little Silkies and they are supposed to hatch in about 3 or 4 days now.

I'm in the NW corner of the state out in the Central Heights area of Florence just off the Savannah Hiway.

Would love to get a few BBS eggs to hatch or some babies or even a grown BBS Roo or cockerel.

I use to live in Florence. That was years ago. I still go up there time to time

I have a wood flor so I really don't wanna put their water in the coop Bc I'm scared they will spill it and the water wil rot the wood. But I do put treats in there like bread and apples (just found out they hate apples) hoping they will go inside.
 
We should be getting our new chickens today. I drove my dad crazy over the weekend about them. I hope we can get them before the coyotes do. It's crazy how we live less than a mile from our friend, but we don't have any problems from bobcats or coyotes. We have the occasional stray dog and snakes, but that's about it. Everything else leaves our birds alone and the weasle (which I now know is endangered) moved on quite a while ago.
 
Got me two new ladies last night. TBMorgan (here on BYC) brought me two of her marans. One is your pretty standard splash, the other is splash with orange. So cool! And they're super tame. My guys are thrilled with them, they think they're the coolest. They're 8 weeks old... I got two babies from Orps a week ago, those are 5 weeks now... they're happy to have some company. One of the little bitty ones got scrappy with a marans (twice it's size!) because she tried to eat some food

I said the same thing,! I was just confused because I never heard a thing! I haven't had any problems with predators, since we put up the fence. There was a hawk last year that got some of my little ones. But would a hawk go after a grown rooster?
