    Coop signs!?

    My wife for me this for Xmas. I bought a lot of chicks last year! I'm not sure she believed I'd actually hang it !

    Would you put a coop here? 🤔

    I would make certain that you hit the 20' setback requirement. Your neighbor may not mind, but I'd the sell, the new neighbor could force you to move it. Smart to understand chicken math. Guidelines on BYC typically say 4 sqft / chicken in the coop and 10 sqft in the run. I've learned that...

    Would you put a coop here? 🤔

    Do you have any setback requirements from neighbors /property line? Otherwise it looks like a great spot. My advice is to build 4x6. You'll never regret going bigger, but could easily regret going smaller. Good luck

    Predator took all 5 hens last night! I feel horrible!

    I'm sorry for your loss. How big was the door that was open? Was it a chicken sized pop door? If the predator had to go through a small door, I'm guessing fox. It's got to be able to climb the fence while carrying the chicken.

    Cup o' Joe and Tea Too

    In the US, I've had gator, frog legs & rattlesnake. Abroad- kangaroo, croc, ostrich, scorpion, snakes (cobra & others), turtle, and shark. Some really terrible sushi -(sea urchin ugh). Coworkers would take me out to dinner to see what local "delicacy" they could get me to try. And parts of...

    Cup o' Joe and Tea Too

    Good morning one and all (and good night down under). I'm two cups in and catching up one the thread. Glad it's transitioned to eating Mexican (food) instead of cat tacos. Going to need another cup before I'm awake enough to disclose all of the weird stuff I ate while living and traveling in...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    You don't see many outdoor cats around here. Coyotes take them very quickly. Even small dogs can't be far from an owner. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.boston25news.com/news/police-nh-man-chokes-coyote-death-after-it-attacked-child-near-pond/GU5T4DXGR5AU3KYH6ZXAM75UKU/%3foutputType=amp

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I've been looking for a pup and may have found a pyr/ Anatolian mix. - I did look for a maremma but couldn't find an active breeder in the area to talk to.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I don't like poison - but every morning when I water, I have to empty every spring mousetrap I have. I don't even make a dent in the mouse population.

    We're kind of in the waiting for grandkids mode - I admit to having strong memories of spit up and dirty diapers, but clean baby smells escape me.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Will using coyote pee attack more coyotes? Thanks for the advice on corn - that may work is I plan a lot. The porcupines killed all 4 pear trees, and 1 apple tree. Anyone old enough to remember Elmer Fudd from the Bugs Bunny cartoons? I'm like that - "be vewy vewy quiet - I'm hunting...

    Behaviors

    I'm an early bird - and usually let the dog out at around 4:30 a.m, when its still pitch dark. Within 10 seconds of me turning on a light, the cockerels start crowing from inside the coop. He must see the light through the window. Then the dog barks a quick hello, and everything goes quiet again...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Garden advice needed! Zone 4a I've got a large raised bed garden. My biggest pest problems are mice getting at the tomatoes and porcupine destroying everything else. My plan is to use electric poultry netting for the porkies. I've trapped & relocated (didn't know that was a violation) and shot...
