I just caught my BO girl humping another chicken. Again. *sigh*

It is a dominance thing. There is nothing you can do. Wait til she starts crowing in a few years

When one of our hens started doing the humping thing, isolating her for about 10 days did the trick.

That stupid Cooper's hawk came through today. By came through, I mean that it came through the trees behind me while I was guarding the chickens and tried to grab a Belgian. I heard an alarm call and whipped around to see it zooming out of the woods. My rage-screaming alerted the little ones and they started to run by the time the thing landed. It still tried to run after them. When it saw me barreling toward it, it shot back to the woods and landed casually in one of the outermost trees. The scary part is that I was less than ten feet from the chickens. Gonna have to start rounding the girls up earlier in the day. Now my throat is ruined.

My favorite rooster, one that Rainwolf gave me and the only chicken in my flock that I named was taken yesterday by a dog. Today I found a pile of his saddle feathers and his tail feathers were strewn all the way up our driveway. I am so upset, I saw a pit running around on e road a few days ago, and I have seen a black lab in our yard. I know it was not a coyote because they would have headed in the opposite direction, through the woods behind us. My DH said we will go for a walk down the road to see if we can see anymore feathers.

It angers me that people cannot keep their dogs locked up. If I find his feathers in someones yard I will confront them. And I swear if they tell me "It was just a chicken" I will inform them that next time I see their dog on our property and I tell my husband to get his gun (we really don't have one) I will tell them "It was just a dog"

Luckily I haven't put our extra roo in freezer camp so I still have a rooster.
