Ya I had fort Knox for chickens. Even had the weight of a full grown bear on top of the hardwire cloth once. But yet the massive snow collapsed it overnight. It's hard to spend thousands of dollars on materials and days of time constructing something just to have it destroyed. I would blow it...

Oh it did attack it. And kill it. My husbands friend who lives further south had to fully enclose his run and keep his chickens from ever free ranging as the ravens were whipping out his chickens. I've heard stories of ravens laying traps for chickens by putting berries just outside of their...

I have a single raven that has been hanging around my back yard. It has been stealing eggs right out of my duck house and attempting to steal them from the turky coop (Thomas seems to be catching him in the act and I just get cracked eggs). probably stealing chicken eggs as well. This Raven has...

I've tried the ACV thing years ago for a different fruit fly issue and I didn't find it that great. I didn't have sugar in it however maybe that's the trick. Maybe I'll try that along with the dish soap idea

Hi. I'm new to here but not exactly new to chickens. I currently live in Ontario Canada an about a acre of property. My husband and I started raising chickens seasonally about 6 years ago and we started keeping them year round 2 years later. On our small little property we have also had the...

I have been sprouting barley for a little over a month now. I do a 8 day cycle the first day it soaks and it sprouts the other 7 days. I've noticed that some fruit flus have taken up residence amongst my pans over the past week. At first it was one or two now there are a good 20. Has anyone...
