It is not legal to discharge a firearm in a residential area - cannot remember if it is within 1/4 mile or 1 mile. You might have to deal with that if the popo come to investigate. Please be careful.

Crossbow? I used to have one but sold it on EBay. It was a nice cross bow. From when I would go elk hunting on Ft. Sill, OK.

The law changed this year--basically so that folks in a residential area in the middle of nowhere can protect themselves from rampaging javelinas. You'll need to look it up for the specifics, though.

I can't find this anywhere, do you have a link?

F&G told me no way, no how and that it was my responsibility to make our property "Pig Proof" to avoid confrontation or face fines for taking matters into my own hands. They said under extreme conditions they will come trap them, but they can not be relocated so they kill them due to their territorial and family group nature.

So, in AZ we can legally shoot the bad guys who threaten us in our house or property but not the rabid javelina? I think, if it comes down to me or the rabid pig, I'd take my chances on the fine.

That solves it for me. Standard Meal Worms it is!

One of the ebay ads mentioned growth hormone for the supers as well.

So what happened to screw together Meg Moringa-seed's panels & 6 months later we have eggs?

Is this also part of that mysterious "chicken math'?

Hi Mikey!
Meal Worms! LOL! Yes, it would be a good idea with the multiple animals!
We were already raising them for our 2 beautiful Geckos before I even got the chickens. It got expensive driving to pets mart, not to mention the worms got expensive too!

I don't know for sure, but I think the "super worms" are not good! There's been talk about super or giant, and i'm not sure which it is, but they are fed steroids. And do not re produce very well and take a long time. Now the coffee is brewing, so if i'm wrong, someone please correct me!!!!!!

I think to be safe, I would stick with regular ole meal worms.

This is me stick'n!

SouthernDesert, is it legal for a resident to shoot a javelina if it's marauding on their property? Just curious, I don't have health ins. and really don't want to risk the expense of rabies shots. I hope your neighbor gets better quick. That is just plain scary.

pastrymama, pdx2phx had other calls on her as well, I just got lucky.

If she and the sultan roo get along, I may have hatching eggs. They are pretty cute.

Mikey, do y'all deliver?

Bob,

I hope they hit it off! The sultans as chicks were hilarious. We called them "Kid-n-Plays" because of their high rise fluffy hairdos.

I took the CCW class a couple of times. You can only shoot the bad guys if that is your only recourse. If you can get away, you are supposed to get away. I know the laws change on a regular basis and the last class I attended was about 2 years ago.

Here's a good thread with treats for chicks!

I'll have my son read it to work on keeping ours tame.
