You and me both.Oh @speckledhen That is just terrible! I hope he gets his just rewards and I hope that hen is back in her own coop soon. I am afraid they would have to be filing an insanity plea for me if that happened. A whole new meaning to the words "crazy chicken lady".
Thanks everyone for you help. My Dark Brahma is definitely a little boy.
I have not a doubt. I will have and a Buff pair and a Light pair soon. These are some of my husband's favorites. My son was hopi g to show a Dark female this year at the fair. He will be fine. He loves the bird regardless.A Dark Brahma rooster is an impressive bird.
She has padlocks on every coop but this was middle of the afternoon and this group was out in its pen. She put locks on the coops because she's had birds stolen more than once from these coops. Once, it was the best Silkie in a breeding group. Second time, some youngsters were sleeping in the nest box, accessible from the outside, but it was locked. They broke the lock and took the babies from the coop. It was winter and they may have just dumped them out in the woods, no idea.And people wonder why I have keyed padlocks on all my gates and my coop. My thieves were only stealing eggs and violating biosecurity on my property.
Proved to DH it was humans when there were tracks in the snow from the front yard straight to the coop and out again.
She has a dog, a huge Lab/Great Pyr, but he's not neutered and he can't be roaming, no perimeter fence. There is a run/tie-out thing but he doesn't stay on it and it's been very muddy so he was inside, probably barking his head off with no one to hear him. He would be good out in a perimeter fence because he's leery of strangers and he's huge and intimidating with a deep, scary bark. But, that takes $$$ and she hasn't come up with enough to do that yet. Someone, probably the same lowlife, has been dismantling her back fence and letting her Arabian mare out of the pasture. Staples removed, fence moved to the inside, not pushed outward. This has to stop and them finding a pot crop there may be the beginning of the end for this disgusting family living there.I have 3 Heeler mixes that are out at random times.....I pity the poor poultry thief that would ignorantly step into our backyard ....no no I wouldn't have any pity afer further self inspection
