Yup!! I named two of mine Thelma and Louise. They're young pullets and take off the second the coop door opens up. Those little crests on top of their heads all I see, off the road runners go.

I'm so, so sorry. Traumatic for that turkey and a bit of a scare for everyone. I hope the fox got enough of a scare that it isn't coming back.

Ohhhhh I wish I could. They're so adorable.

Oh no! That stinks! And you got clucked out to boot!

LOL!!!! :lau

Yes, he's the Cream Legbar from Triplell and Judy, too. I do have some pails, maybe through I should try old Tidy Cat litter ones for her as a transition, still a bit trashy, wouldn't want to go to fancy from her Oscar the Grouch trash can too fast!

Did you get them in time? I hope so!

Hi all! I haven't stopped in for awhile but wanted to show you my hen from Triplell, Judy, she's been so funny. I adore her. She thinks she's a robin I think, up in the bird feeder. ;) But now she goes from laying once or twice a week, in the nesting box, to five times a week. But, she found...

There's a guy with a sawmill, or maybe he's a carpenter, I can't remember, that's in Sauk Rapids area if you're ever around there. I can try and find his number in my email if you'd like. He said he has about a truck load a week!

@scandiafowl about your chick with the beak, I just read an article in this months article of Backyard Chickens magazine about very light trimming of beaks and nails, but it mentioned when beaks are more severe: I'm not sure if that's helpful but I wonder if a bigger trim just as they mention...

@Minniechickmama I'm so sorry to hear those weasels are still at it. I haven't been in the thread awhile and popped in and saw that. It's so sad and has to be unbelievably frustrating. You've had one heck of a spring between the hatches and this. I hope those blasted things are done for soon...

Congratulations!! So happy for you! He's beautiful. Had you in my prayers. Wishing you a healthy and easy recovery!

So beautiful!!

I never thought of Christmas lights. I've heard of the predator light box, I think made in Princeton or maybe Zimmerman? But Christmas lights are a great idea! Some strings you can unscrew bulbs and the rest stay on, maybe you could have "eyes" on all four sides. I think the box company suggests...

@Minniechickmama the bird story, imagined in my head play-by-play with the dogs is hilarious! The weasel, awful!! I'm so so sorry. Especially after the lost hatches. How sad to come out and see so many dead hens. I can't understand why one isn't enough for one weasel. Sometimes when I've...

Welcome @The BlanchRanch!

I hadn't heard that update. Good to know and makes sense. I hope all this AI stuff clears up soon.

Yikes!!! I was in my dad's camper camping in Chippewa Natl Forest and woke when I heard a racket outside in the middle of the night. Everyone was gone over to another campsite at a bonfire and not back. I hollered fatigued rambling out the window thinking it was raccoons and thought they'd run...

Determined chooks! I hope today went better!

Oh no, just saw this. I'm sorry :( Did they give a reason?
