Oh my! Sorry for the loos of your hen. I've heard people say they will attack, but I always thought it wasn't true. Definitely gonna watch out now, even though we mostly have Turkey Vultures here.

Made me nervous to see, but they did just seem to run past pretty fast. A lot of animals come through my yard to get to the other side of the wooded area. Seems to be mostly during hunting season.

I've seen a couple in my yard.

I have a young bantam EE roo up for grabs. He is a pretty nice boy. This pic is about a month old.

Welcome! Yes, there's a lot of hidden chicken people in MA!

I do not, but I make sure it's clean and draft free.

They do!! They also protect them from sunburn.

Do they foreage outside? I give mine plain yogurt. Fruit, fresh and dried herbs, etc... Basically whatever the big chickens eat.

I agree with @KDOGG331, we have more hens and still have a few that are favorites and the rest are not really bothered. We just bought some saddles/aprons for the few and now the rooster doesn't bother with them as much.

Welcome new members!

Little cuties!

This is so cute!!!

Welcome!

There is someone in Monson, MA that sells them. Correct me if i'm wrong, but I believe it's in pairs only. There is a thread here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/509483/cream-legbars/8310

Welcome!!

We use pine shavings. They ended up being the cheapest and easiest to clean. We don't use water in the coop unless it's an emergency and in a crate, so they don't get smelly. We also clean the poop boards everyday. I also don't recommend hay because it can get moldy or straw because it is hard...

Welcome to the group! I have a Production Red rooster (hatchery quality RIR) that was supposed to be a girl. We tried to find him a good home but we love him now, so it looks like he may stay. Are you allowed roosters where you live?

We just got a weather warning for high winds and a line of heavy rain. I am so done with this wet weather.

I know! Our silkies look like wet rats!

Sounds like you'll have lots of eggs in no time at all!
