How do u get to b "platinum poultry" & "golden feathers"? Haha an achievement I'm sure that only the chosen may lay claim to.
I've doubled my run and coop (same) perimeter with a rubber netting. This seems to be keeping the big guys (and the silly blue jay that got trapped everyday) out. I would like to get a few more chickens. But I will wait it out to see how sound this is.

Sorry, mistake on the quote repeat -
I just returned from a two week vacation and these soft squatters have totally changed personality on me. They used to run up to me we then saw me and smile and chirp and now they just want to take off and head for the woods as so as I open their coop - forget hen food or scraps! I can't find any eggs they don't chirp at all they kind of have a gutteral moan (

) if I call then now they don't come running but they get stone cold silent. Are they giving me the cold shoulder for leaving? Did they change somehow? Anyone a chicken whisperer?
 
Welcome to BYC! Glad you decided to join our flock. I was going to say that I would be concerned about the rooster sleeping on the eggs as they need to be turned regularly, and kept a the proper temperature and humidity, and I've never heard of a rooster doing that sort of thing. However, obviously the rooster isn't sleeping on them any longer. I'm sorry you lost him to a raccoon. TwoCrows is right about building your coop like Fort Knox, and making sure that you lock your flock up at night. Now that the coon has made a meal of your rooster, you can be certain that he will be back for more. Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Good luck with the remainder of your flock.
