Someone who isn't me (SWIM) found a Big Brown Bat Pup, hairless and they already are up to date with rabies vaccines. SWIM, knows the local wildlife agency will just no-life the bat pup. There is no way to put the pup, back where it's "nest?" was. It was a busy bridge of a interstate. Would it...

The revenge/illegal method would be to take some of the chicken meat they killed... and get those large hooks, bait the hooks up in a a few trees near the property... check them in a week. Don't do this... causes suffering to the wild animals and is illegal a legal method... could be to hide...

professional rat terrior, CAN kill 2,500 rats over 7 hours (single dog). That's ofc with high rat density.

You know what you recommend you just don't want to put it to words... The fox took the whole coop that day... leave it at that. I personally make my Chickens wait a little later before I let them out, owls also like to stay up "late" or early for us... best to wait a hour or two and bypass...

I have a roofless fence at 6ft tall and they most of the time just respect their boundaries. This is even with blueberry bushes right outside their run.

lol, they lay eggs.

Light brahma, yes the incubator has its own room. I also have a few brooders (inside) for going from hatcher to brooder. I also have a few larger brooders outside, for ages 2-6weeks while they feather out.

the world will never know...

Im not a man to argue, you made your own and it can't be the incubator has to be the eggs even though everyone else has had no issues. World just must be conspiring against you, I hope the world sorts itself out soon. Best of luck.

Yeah gut them (first always), defeather, blood isn't a big issue and you can remove the feet and head. Simply cut into quarters still. Only thing with a silkie is you might need a smaller jar. If you want, you can give the liver/heart/feet/head etc... to your other animals (dogs) if you don't...

nothing specific, my incubator just came with a piece of paper on how to diagnose problems and all the symptoms were reduced hatch rate and it could be something as minor as being just .5-1 degree off at the egg area of the incubator. Especially if your thermostat sits elsewhere (not where the...

Very handy if processing a large amount. Add more salt to get a longer self life, easily 1yr+ plus keeps you from having to do one rooster at time etc...

Just clean/feather and cut into quarters add to jar, cover in seasoning... add veggies, rice etc... seasoning etc and add water if desired (not required, weird I know). Then simply can the jar like normal (double boiler or something) it both cooks/seals etc all at once. Store in your pantry...

Putting them in jars has at least a years shelf-life with no refrigeration required... you put your love into the birds I just feel its best for you(the owner) to be the one to do it. Plus if you jar them, you can also buy store bought chicken meat to jar to and not label. Given some time you...
