grannys gone and done it

[Granny Hatchet]

Frosty is home. she looks rough too. so skinny. she now is officially a punk. tattoo , shaved and stoned. LOL i took a nap in the recliner and when i woke up she was snuggled in with me. i am not going to stop her from jumping. not sure what to do. if i crate her she is going to cry all night, if i put her in the bed she is going to jump down sooner or later. if i step out for 3 min. she howls and acts like she hasnt seen me in a month. jumping on me. i ignore her to try and stop the behavior but not sure what else to do. i wonder if pain meds. are a good idea because if she knew she was hurt she probably would take it easier. i was told she may be a cairn terrier/ schnauzer mix. i dont see it. there should be a place to load a picture and get help to id them. i didnt find one. just dna and i dont need to know THAT bad.

MISSING- REWARD OFFERED-YANKEE DIME

I am missing my favorite chickens, and no, they didnt become my favorites after i noticed them gone.


i believe this one to be a sumatra. black skin. heard a pack of coyotes this morn.

I lost a slew of chickens about a month ago. But, I know what got mine. Most of them were pullets that I was counting on for breeding next year. So now I have the incubator running again. I usually sell the chicks I hatch during the summer and fall months. I use that money to buy hay for my horses for the winter. All those plans went right down the drain because of some stupid neighbor......

 

[Granny Hatchet]

the so called neighbor killed them? i dont know what is wrong with people. i dont know what got mine because it was in the day time. no signs at all. just gone. i think there is about 10-15 missing. i only had 3 laying hens i use and one of them is gone. down to 3 guineas and then the ones from the other coop. needless to say, they didnt get to range today but i did let the guineas and layer out. they are very upset. yelling all day. what am i missing? they see or know something.

 

[enola]

No the stupid neighbor's dogs did it.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

2 guineas now. what do i do? leave them locked up in a shed with no run or let them go? totally disgusted. they are both hens, all the males are gone.

 

[lularat]

Sorry to hear about your chickens. Any idea what is getting them? More than likely, if you let them go, whatever got the others will probably get them.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

i have no idea what it may be. no signs at all. i have been trying to keep an eye. all i have is daytime and no signs.

I bet it is a fox. I had that problem last summer. The chickens disappeared one at a time. I am the only person in the neighborhood with chickens anymore. By summer's end the nothing boy had shot 7 foxes of all different sizes.

No signs of struggle, no feathers, no signs of struggle, no body parts or blood. The chickens just disappeared......

 

[Granny Hatchet]

ha! i was just reading predator id and i think i will agree. daytime hunter, no signs, but, there must be a few because i am missing (this is a guess) 5 a day. the 2 guineas that are left just stand in the yard calling for thier mates. it is very sad watching them look for the others. i had hoped they were sitting somewhere until the males started disappearing too. other thing is hawk and i believe they would only take one.
