    Camera?

    What camera have you used that you love? I am considering Blink. I would like to put one in my coop and one on the outside of my horse barn so I can see the property and coming and goings. I just don't want a camera that is constantly going to wake the girls up from roosting at night. Thanks...

    Aggressive HAWK and pen security

    So I've now read a fair amount of things here to help deter hawks. The hawk(s) seem to be getting more aggressive. Great info and help here though! This evening the hawk swooped ME. I came outside expecting to scare him off again because my hens were yelling, but I couldn't find him. Then I...

    Wild Turkeys + Young Pullets

    Hello. I have some young (~9 weeks old) EE pullets, and this morning I looked out my window to see that their coop was completely surrounded by wild turkeys. All my girls went inside the coop, but it made me worry that the turkeys might attack them. Pre-chickens, we have had wild turkeys charge...

    Adequate apron?

    Hi! Our new run has an apron of HW cloth extended from the sides, laid on shallowly excavated ground about 12”. On top, but extending past the edge of the HW cloth, are 7” x 10” pavers. On top of all that, soil (a few inches at most) and somewhat haphazard sod. All that worries me is the...

    Outdoor security cameras

    We’ve had some mild vandalism a couple times my first year. The worst was only two broken windshields. Our dogs are a good deterrent but they can’t watch vehicles in the front of the house. Are there any other cheap security solutions? Any good outdoor security cam?

    Security Survey?

    Hello BYC'ers! So, for the first time today I was asked to answer a security question. It was just clicking the 'I'm not a robot' box but this is the first time this has come up and it's happened three times in one hour. It's not a big deal or anything but it erases the thing I was about to post...

    Geese guard

    Hey there! I'm considering having some geese (2 or 3 to start I think will work), since I need some "security help". I've been robbed many times and my old dog didn't hear anything (he's 12 years old). I tried to introduce him a new dog, but he was agressive and than very very sad, so we had to...

    Cameras for 2018- What do you recommend for 2018-2019?

    Reading Backyard Chickens' search function for "cameras" brings me back to 2011, for example. Prices and technology have changed. What do you think would be good tech for a good price for 2018-2019? [Sorry if I do not know how to use the search function efficiently to find the most recent camera...

    *NEED TO BUILD AN IMPENETRABLE DUCK FORTRESS!

    Hi everyone! This week I hatched 6 ducklings that came from the eggs of my beloved babies that got taken too soon by predators. I am determined to build them the most safe pen / hutch imaginable for when the time comes for them to move outside. I was thinking of even buying a small sized shed...

    4-H Poultry

    Hi, I am wondering if anyone else out there is in charge of their Poultry Barn during the fair? A friend of mine and I are in charge of the Poultry Barn (She's Open Class & I'm 4-H). In the past, we have had a "chicken thief" come through our poultry barn and steal birds from the 4-H...

    What time to put chickens/ducks to bed - general consensus?

    Hi All. Was just wondering what time does everyone lock up their chickens/ducks for the night (if you don’t have an automatic door) and what time you let them out again? My mother and I are having this debate right now. My mother wants to lock them up early (8:30pm) whereas I’m more of a 10pm...

    Lock suggestions?

    I have lots of racoons, possums and skunks in my area. I know racoons can undo just about anything. So I am not risking anything and have been using small lock and key master locks. We've had a decent amount of rain exposure and the locks are already starting to stick a bit. Haven't even been...
