Cynthia… sad to read the bad wind down your way caused damage.

Thank you, getting estimates today.

Hi Everyone

I need some help. Yesterday I discovered my front yard covered in Barred Rock feathers and sure enough my full size laying hen is gone. I'm guessing it was a hawk but what else could it have been?

Now I have 5 hens left but I'm not sure what the best way to protect them is. Please help me understand what I can do.

Lastly, I now have room for one more hen. Does anybody have any Buckeyes or lavender hens that they would be willing to sell?

Thanks

Hey Lady… thanks for the heads up on the IFA deal(s). AND I have seen these type of things show up here from time to time and I just get a chuckle out of them. Enough so that I have decided to join the exalted ones whom are able to declare ~ "THE CHICKENS ARE FED!" [COLOR=B42000] [/COLOR] Felt like spring out there today… Best to all and your birds, RJ Edit: Sorry Tandy… perhaps you should avert your eyes until you know me better. On second look my tan needs improving.

This is great haha

Would a Raccoon pluck all of the feathers in an open front yard though?

I wouldn't put it past them I was in an area that had lots of raccoons, and I went out one day to see feathers all over the place, no carcass

Could be a dog too---when my former dog would get a bird he would shake it like crazy and leave a pile of feathers then take off with the carcass.
Sorry to hear your bird is missing, never fun to lose a bird!

So sorry. Did this happen at night? There are a few critters out there that could have been the culprit. Had a Ferrell cat get one of mine.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I will keep an eye out for buckeyes and lavenders. What kind of lavenders are you looking for?

Any lavenders, I havent seen one yet that I didnt like.


Has anybody tried feeding Crows to help with Hawks/predators? I've seen quite a few in West Jordan but I'm not sure its worth the risks.
