Undimire, Welcome to BYC! We had a terrible problem with rats at the beginning of the spring. I tried everything from BB gun to humane traps to traps to fake owls (the owl worked beautifully on keeping field mice and sparrows away from my feed, for the record), but NOTHING worked. We finally gave up and set out poison. We had to keep our chickens in til it was gone. It was gone within a couple days, and within a week, there was no more signs of rats.
Welcome, Sean!
Red, how's the job search going?
Desert, are you all recovered yet?
Sara, I'm not surprised your cake business is going so well. You are incredibly talented.
Lisa, I DEFINITELY want to go to the poultry show. I'd love it if we could have a BYC party....
My friend has a buff orpington that was hatched in February and it's already gone broody. She's getting ready to move out of state. She's GIVING it to me, with two jars of salsa to sweeten the deal. I need more chicks or a broody hen like a hole in the head, but I've been contemplating an orpington (though I was eyeing the blues and the lavenders), so this will be fun. I'm going to break her of the broodiness. My two frizzles FINALLY got off the nest. I swear they were there all summer.
