    Double decker area for run

    my chickens are going to be confined to the run now after a fox attack and a neighbor’s dog. They like hanging out under the coop, they’ve even dug a big hole under there of a foot or more deep. As they like hanging out under there, and I need to create more space, I was thinking of making a...

    Fox attack

    The enclosure held up to neighbors dog this morning. Though he was harassing, not intent on eating. Sucked seeing that when we weren’t home

    Fox attack

    I’ve not tried it. The fox got the chicken when they were outside their coop and enclosure. They have been safe in their coop/enclosure for 12 years, though now I need to reinforce the security. I have bought hardware cloth to redo the perimeter apron. Unfortunately I’m away from home for a...

    Guidance needed for semi-severe crossbeak

    My cross beak did that as well. Funny. I'd hand fed her using a deep bowl. It's a mess, I'm not going to lie. I always used crumble for her too. I had a plastic kids snack bowl that I would use. It was probably about 4-5 inches wide and 2 1/2 to 3" deep. I wasn't this clever at the time...

    Shock after fox attack

    I had a fox attack my chickens midday. One was killed and carried off. It looks like another had a bunch of feathers grabbed and then hid really well. I couldn't find her until a few hours later. She appears to be moving fine and I don't see anything damage wise, but I've not been able to...

    Fox attack

    Blue egg layer returned. Looking a little less fluffy, but she did get up on the roost so I'm assuming she's okay.

    Fox attack

    Ugh, my front yard video cam got the kill and take away of my white egg laying chicken on film. I had hope. Maybe the blue egg layer ?? 4 of the 6 remaining chickens are under a deck and won't come out to go back into the coop. So far, other than rats, my coop and enclosure have been...

    Fox attack

    I've just experienced a fox attack that got 2 of my new pullets. I thought they were nocturnal!!! This is the middle of the day and it got two of them. The one who was laying, my white egg layer and then the one who was going to give me blue eggs. :( I let them roam the yard during the day...

    What takes the whole chicken at night?

    Correction. Some of the chicken must have been left as one of the young chickens was running around with some innerds. I got those away, but it seems there's more as she was running around with more. I went and raked the area a bit and there are some feathers, but I think it was partly...

    What takes the whole chicken at night?

    It’s been raining. This is the only possible print. I’m not even sure. There was a lot of dirt displacement.

    What takes the whole chicken at night?

    My chicken jail sentence became a death penalty. Last night I put a chicken who was causing problems with others in the coop - going after the 18 weekers, then when another old trouble maker was moved from the youngster’s side of the roost this one fought her. I put this one in chicken jail and...

    New layer squatting A LOT. Is this normal?

    Same here. My leghorn started squatting for me when before I was the scarier than Freddie Krueger. So, I give her a back rub and she then fluffs her feathers and does a little shake.

    17 week old White leghorn squatted for me

    My 17 week old leghorn squatted for me (awkwardly but definitely a squat). How long til she lays? I wasn’t expecting anything until a month. She looks too slim to be ready to lay

    Chicken Jail

    And an update as I head a ruckus. Patty was up to her pecking so at midnight, I took her out and put her in the falling apart brooder coop, “hospice” coop, which, I guess, is now the jail. I feel bad and that she’s in there in the middle of the night, there no bedding but geez there was no...

    Chicken Jail

    Here it is before I took the bottom half of the barrier off. Also, now only the area where the roost is has the netting.

    Chicken Jail

    I've integrated my 4 - 15 1/2 week chickens with my 5 - 3 year old hens. They'd done the same coop separated with plastic netting for 2 months. Then they old ones started coming thru the nesting boxes because, the 4 on their side apparently weren't adequate, so I took down the bottom of the...

    DE and First Saturday Lime. Over or under the bedding?

    I’ve got so many ants and flys. Just cleaned out the coop and found tons of ants under the wood shavings. Is what first Saturday lime sprinkled all over but it doesn’t seem to stop them. I’ve sprayed permethrin 10 in the coop and it’s drying. So bedding first or after? I’ve also got those...

    Show me your set up for smaller chickens to hide from the big meanie

    I’ve got 5-3 year old and 4 - 14 1/2 week olds. They’ve been in a coop with plastic netting fencing separating them for 2 months. The bigs come thru to the littles side thru the nesting boxes because apparently the nesting boxes on their side aren’t good enough. The littles can get thru out to...
