If you haven't found it yet, according to Picture This app, the plant is Halbert-leaf Yellow Violet. Botanical name: Viola Hastata. Will have yellow and purple blooms in April and May. I got the app to identify plants with berries that are safe or not for my chickens.

What is the base of your runs? Ours has been just dirt but the girls have turned into infantry and are digging trenches. I'm thinking of getting pavers for in it and then throwing shavings or bark mulch over them. Bad idea? Good idea? Any other ideas?
 
No bait, the trap was just near the hole the booger put in the back door of the garage.

For anyone who doesn't think these can be a threat to their coop...just check out that mouthful of teeth! I know they don't frequently go after live birds, but they certainly are capable and will given the right circumstances. Any around or in our pens are usually handled pretty quickly by the dogs.
 
My neighbor just knocked our door this morning saying there's a fox carrying a chicken running cross the road near us. She chased the fox away and wondered if that's our chicken who managed to survive. No, my electric fence works really well and all my girls were happily pecking around. I didn't see that chicken though. Hopefully she found her way home.

I just have dirt. They dug lots of holes, but I only refill the holes near the fence. They love to dust bath in the holes.
 
I have 2 cockerels (both 2 weeks old right now) that need to be rehomed once they're old enough. They are Easter Egger/Black Australorp mixes hatched from my own flock. I'm willing to give them away for free, as long as they will be well taken care of. I don't want these boys to end up as dinner. Also, since I don't live too far from PA, I can drive them part way if necessary. Please PM me if interested!
