Chirping
Yeah we had em all set up with a bulb and a kiddie pool with hay, feeders, etc. I ordered them 2 months ago and I was waiting for them so eagerly and happy. I even cooked some rice for them yesterday.
I really just can't figure it out. We have that 1cm mesh wire stuff all around. The carpenter that helps us out said his idea is to pull all the floor and rebuild. I think we just should stop trying to patch this up and build from 0 again. This coop was in when we moved in and we patched up every hole we could find, but this thing has taken 1bantam, 3duck fertile eggs and 3 chicken fertile eggs (we mark them) my 4 muscovy babies that were hatched/born here, killed 1 chicken and now all these new babies.
My husband is lining a wire kennel with mesh and we are going to keep the new babies we get here in the porch (right out the door from our room)
I was looking into ordering some more right now but I'm just getting sad looking at the pics and thinking about my chickies and ducklings. We thought our girls had stopped laying so much but now that we have seen the marked eggs dissappear i think whatever it is its taking our eggs. I'm afraid it'll attack our adult birds if it doesn't find eggs
I had something getting in my coop eating eggs! I put 2 live traps in the coop and baited it with eggs...caught a possum! I also fixed all the holes i could find after i caught it and piled rocks in the holes along the ground that i thought something might be able to get in...just to see if any of the rocks got moved...plus if it does get thru, i will know where! So far none of the rocks have been moved and nothing else has gotten in!
