Several of my girls are molting too. Feathers EVERYWHERE.

This is very typical of chickens this time of year. They're preparing their new feathers for winter.

Earlier this year, in April, I had a rat problem. 6 weeks later the rats were gone. Yesterday I saw 2 more rats. How can I keep these critters AWAY? Accepting all advice, thank you.

Keep your feed in metal bins/trashcans that are sealed, make sure you have a secure run and no feed lying around.

Can we trim the "flight feathers" of our chickens?

Yes, trim one wing to offset the flying balance.

Yes..all that Whit said.

Hey Whittni!

Whittni, is it the first 7 or the first 9 feathers you cut? I cant remeber. Hey Karen this will work for your little hen that keeps flying over the fence.

Helping a guy in vernal with hatching quail, we should have a new visitor on here soon

Sean, HI if you are on here!

He may check with Corvidae and Desert Springs about a possible chicken train if I can get quail chicks to one of them in the future

Hey, where are those two anyway?

Red how you doing? Any leads on jobs yet?

Undimere, are you up here around Logan? Just curious, I saw Northern UT on your location.

And....after you post ten times you can post pics and add one for your avatar. So make sure you reply back to everybody that says welcome haha

There are a few night owls that get on here, but more in the morning for sure.

I don't think we have any regulars that are clear over to the East, so it is great to have you on here Sean! So next question everyone will want to ask, what kind of chickens you have ?

Hi I'm Sean and trying to figure this out. I live in Vernal and have had chickens for a few years now and with the help of La Casa de Pollo I'm getting into quails!
