Well that's silly to begin with from what I've seen birds need to be added to the population anyway. We don't have pheasants around here but we do have bobwhites and they are dwindling. So good on your buddy free range on!

I have a friend who was in a fight with DNR. He isn't letting birds loose... He's free ranging his pheasants and quail.

Hi All! I haven't posted in a day or two, but I am the bearer of bad news (for the moment). We are forecast to be hit by a Category One Hurricane - Nate by this Sunday. What!?? It's a tropical depression at the moment, but projected to be a hurricane by Friday and to move into the Florida Panhandle by Sunday. At least we are prepared for a hurricane due to prepping for Irma.

Liz I'm so sorry

thanks

@DwayneNLiz do you know who the guilty is? Hovering hawk? dastardly dog? calling coyote? Neighbor's kid? Rascally Raccoon? Oppressive opossum?

That many sounds like a dog. So sorry. File a report for a livestock predator. Post flyers and we'll round up the posse!

Oh, so sorry, was afraid of that from the first post. Do you know what did it? So you can rid yourself of it. Don't know how many hens you had, hope you have some left to start over with.

no idea best guess is coyotes? I'm not good at predators

Condolences.

And some could be in 'hiding' and show up for breakfast

We gotta share the storms you know.


Hopefully Nate is just joking...and stays away.

May be the girls don't fight back as much, no spurs.

Were they out and about?
Or did something break into a coop?
