    Best Bait for Raccoons?

    I understand. I had raccoons take out my flock of guineas minus one. We set up a camera along with traps using cat food- cheapest you can find- and were able to catch them. Originally, we thought it was just one, but oh were we surprised. I believe we caught about 8 of them.

    Raccoon attack! Help!

    Definitely trap the raccoons. We had the same problem-raccoons took out all but one guinea and 4 hens-with one rooster barely escaping. If you don't trap them, they will definitely come back day after day and week after week. It took us a few weeks to trap them.

    I have lots of chickens sneezing tonight, watery/foamy eyes.

    Do you have enough ventilation in your coop? Hope your girl gets better soon. Please keep us posted.

    Egg laying Poll ( please check out!!!)

    I voted, but I had to cheat and look up the average age of Orpingtons for laying. I was so excited :celebrateto get eggs (as this was my first time owning chickens), I don't even remember- that was 4 years ago. I need to do better!!!

    My survival rooster Story

    Oh noooo...that looks painful. I can certainly understand your pain. A raccoon attacked one of my roosters and took out all four of my girls. He looked horrible following the attack. He is finally back to himself with minimal scarring, but he will allow me to put my hand in his cage to feed him...

    Our 3rd egg-bound hen

    Oh no...sorry to hear this. Hope you can figure out what is causing this. I had a girl that was like that about a week ago. I brought her in and gave her a warm epsom salt bath and she was able to lay her egg. Kept her in for a few days before returning her to the coop. She's been fine since...

    Raccoon attack! Bad wing injury need advice

    Be sure to set traps for the raccoons. We had the same problem this summer. They were able to get all of my guineas except one.

    Sanitation!!

    Oops I said I use river sand in my coops...not true...I use river sand in my runs and it works great. I either rake or scoop the poop. It dries quickly and there are no smells. I use pine shavings in my coops and typically clean them once or twice a year.
