Arkansas folks speak up.........

Welcome oldchickenlady from Cabot, from Jacksonville folks. I remember when there were more chickens than people in Cabot, not now though.

So sorry to hear of your loss chickeninnewtown. What do you think caused it? We have lost about 8 smaller ones during this ice and cold. Noticed a lot more hawks around, guess they migrated in more during this cold spell.

thank you diana, hopefully this batch of eggs in the bator will bring me some new roosters and hens.

Trinar, with one I know it was my bigger roosters pecking him, the other two was because of the cold I am sure. Sorry for your loss too

Friday I noticed a missing silkie. Then I found feathers. I suspected a hawk since I've seen one before. I kept my three remaining hens in the coop until Sunday. Within an hour of letting them out, I saw the hawk attacking. It hit another silkie but it did not injure it. They've been in the coop since then.

I really like to free range my girls during the daytime. I know the only way to do this is to get the hawk. I'm brainstorming ways to do this, but I live in the city limits. This is our first casualty. It sucks.

Maybe a BB gun? they are quiet and will not kill the hawk just scare it away. Do you have a flock protecting dog?

I have a few birds that i am selling. Silkies, Silver Penciled Rocks, and Heritage RIR.
Would make a nice christmas gift to someone. They are from show stock, but have flaws as
mentioned on my website. Look at my signature below for my website. Pictures and descriptions provided.

I may be willing to let go of additional birds, but have not decided yet.

I am in search of hatching eggs of the following breeds from anyone within a reasonable driving distance to Bentonville, ark. I may even be interested in chicks or started birds. Black Australorp, Orpingtons, Partridge Plymouth Rock or nice barred rocks, If anyone has any available, I would be willing to travel to pick up. Thank you, from Kathy in Pea Ridge.

I might be able to help you with the BR and Orps. I have some nice ones and live in Rogers.
