Our son just built himself an awesome chicken coop and the Rhode Island Red girls are due to arrive today. We are all excited. It feels like a WWII "victory coop."
The Rhode Island Reds are a great breed, and so beautiful, especially the roosters. I didn't live on a farm, but as a teenager I once raised them in a coop in my backyard. The hens are very good with kids and people too, and take such good care of their chicks. Later in life I once had a flock of Buff Orpingtons, another wonderful breed.
Dave, one of our Buff Orpingtons (she was acting as the leader/rooster role), drew her sword and 300'd herself right into a bear's arms/mouth defending the flock. Nothing left of her (we saved one feather), but she delayed the bear long enough for me to get outside save the other five. That was a couple years ago, the first year for our small coop. We now have a five strand electric fence...
We have Rhode Island Reds, Bard Rocks and one Buff Orpington. All are great!
Hero Hen.. She is remembered. I am about to get some chickens myself and very excited about it. They are cute ane entertaining plus the benefits of eggs....
Exactly, we "fort knox'd" our coop to include wire in the soil around and blocks, wire on the window and around the small run (overhead protection of the run too from hawks), but didn't have the electric fence to start. We said the only thing that could get in was a bear, b/c a bear can get into whatever it wants, and that's what happened...
Also, with the fence, remember to 'bait' the fence too, because a bear will nose or lick the sunbutter/peanut butter and 'learn' not to touch the fence. If you don't bait, he can just shoulder or arm his way through.
I had Call Ducks in a pen. The first bear I've ever seen in my area showed up early one morning. He wandered around the back yard for a few minutes before heading toward the front, where the duck pen was. The pen was high off the ground and totally covered in 1/2" "hardware cloth (rat wire in the South)" to protect against any other predators.
As I watched the bear head that way, I grabbed my 12 gauge pump and quietly opened the door, waited to see what happened. As I saw the bear's nose around the corner, I fired a couple of rounds in the air (we're in the country, lots of room). You have NEVER seen a bear turn tail and run SO FAST.
We were at that house for three more years but NEVER saw the bear again. Not sure he'd ever heard such a noise. 😂
Love it! Part of my saving of the rest of the crew, I fired two rounds from my .40 (in a safe direction) since I couldn't see the bear and that they like to lurk around (and wanted him to associate the sound with what he had just did to our feathered girls) and I think that contributed to his skedaddling away, I heard him lumbering through the swamp area and crashing through the brush. Black bears do not like loud noises... I still give the Buff Orpington the preponderance of the credit for her bravery and sacrifice under teeth and claws. :)
Not really, had he come my way, all I had to do was step into the front door. He was at least 20' away. I caught him by surprise also. Don't think he'd have tried to eat the ducks (an appetizer for him) but he might have destroyed rhe pen. At $60 + each, I couldn't afford to lose the ducks. Besides they're so cute. 😉
They supposedly are great but I can only speak from our limited experience, very limited. We’ve only had 6 hens for two years, consisting of two breeds, the Reds and Easter Eggers, the Easters lay a beautiful blue/green egg, but about half as many.
Also bielfelders are easily distinguishable at hatching. Females have a dark chipmunk pattern and males have a light spot on their head. Great birds, friendly and productive.
We have a beautiful rooster that was hand raised by friends. We got him as a cockerel and the girls taught him how to be a good rooster. He is so very respectful and has begun to be their mate. Always watches the fence line and the sky, and has a really soft crow.
Seems like farmers around the world are always being made to kill their flocks and herds over some supposed outbreak. Always breaks my heart to hear about.
“For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.”-2 Corinthians 11:13-15
All men have sinned and are short of the glory of God. If you are saying that Trump and Musk are worse off than the rest of us...that's a mouthful. Have any proof???
I don't see Trump taking us into NWO which is a globalist agenda. He asserts a Nationalist stance...
Whereas he did call for Warp Speed on covid vaxx...he never mandated anyone to take them, AND lots of us here at C&C did not... I would even claim that most people here are a heck of great researchers in all kinds of subjects. Welcome to the party...
As soon as I start to see Trump walking our country towards the UN or WEF or anything that doesn't resemble MAGA / America First, I'll be in company of others here questioning WHAT the heck he's doing...
Just as I now question Musk and his neuralink brain chips.
Excellent! You’re questioning the right thing(s)! Keep going…think for yourself. Do your own research and question EVERYTHING.
I used to be like you. I’m not saying that to disparage you, I mean that I understand how some people get pulled in. I did as well. I didn’t have the information I have had the last few years.
I tend to think along the same lines as those who compare OWS with the manuver of the defecting Soviet mariner in The Hunt for Red October, heading straight for the firing sub's torpedos which passed the rogue sub before arming; and then with an assist from another vessel, the next torpedoes fired at the rogue were sent without delayed arming, they missed the first pass when they followed the decoy and lost track of it, before reacquiring a target, the sub that sent them, destroying that firing sub.
I could be wrong, but I think Trump led OWS astray. No mandates, taking HCQ and broadcasting it (& Melania using homeopathic treatment, while Barron weathered it like a flu...), and skirting around the full implementation of track and trace, etc.
So pulling out of WHO (that almost was allowed to dictate to the US future actions in response to pandemics (scamdemics) and would have usurped US sovereignty in such situations) was a bad thing? Nope!
No, they aren’t much better. I WAS one of them. The Truth snapped me out of it, especially after losing my job of 23 years for non-CONvid compliance 4 years ago, and surviving cancer. These type of things wake one up! “What’s really going on here?!”
The deep dives of Truth are mind blowing! Some people are still along for the ride. I’m not.
Susan, find a local farmer! A new friend at my church has chickens and will be bringing me a dozen FRESH eggs for just $6. I can’t wait to try them. Everyone says they are much tastier than store bought. 🐣🥚🍳
And apparently bird flu does not jump state lines either. Here in Pennsylvania, kids who belong to 4H clubs have not been allowed to show their prize chickens for 2 years now, but in Ohio (which is less than an hour's drive for me) chickens are still shown at county fairs and special competitions. So our granddaughter takes her Pennsylvania raised chickens to Ohio to show. Viruses can read maps, I guess.
And, for what it's worth, I have noticed that in both grocery stores where I shop, eggs that were from pasture-raised hens have NOT been in short supply.
Poultry anywhere in the world should never have been culled as that does not work. Herd immunity is the way to go. We have known this for ages but the USDA is a fanatic about culling which proves they know nothing about immunology. This vile practice hurt our farmers, citizens and destroyed beautiful creatures for nothing with the stroke of a pen. I am not convinced they are no longer culling but we will see. Hopefully the new head of Dep. of Ag will truly stop this barbaric practice.
It is barbaric but these people are barbaric by their nature. It was yet another created crisis by the lunatics with two goals, create a bird flu fear, and eventually try to tie the high prices to Trump's economy.
Neither is going to work.
60 MILLION CHICKENS SACRIFICED for NOTHING. Unconscionable!
The price of eggs is no doubt a crisis of team Biden’s making, and the number of exterminated chickens is consistently reported as over 100 million. No, the bird flu doesn’t jump borders, nor would it have killed every chicken of the millions that were killed to prevent the spread…what kind of twisted logic is that!? Do we kill people to prevent the spread of a flu bug?
Not to worry, chickens, like humans are a tough breed…given fewer vaccines both will repopulate. It may take some time, but we have at least four years of sanity to look forward to.
I wonder about those medical professionals who were being given ‘hero’ status for their service during the pandemic scam; with singing and dancing videos glorifying them.
A retired nurse friend kept posting those on Facebook; all sorts of praise for those courageous doctors and nurses on the frontlines.
Does anyone have any firsthand accounts of how they’re coping now that more and more they’re being viewed as useful idiot accomplices in a mass murder scheme?
My sarcasm batteries are a bit low, however the 51st state has been culling millions of birds for a couple of years now. They wanted dairy farmers to test the milk for avian flu but so far they have resisted. So we might be the culprits that exported the flu to your chickens. It got there before you guys could put a tariff on it.
Yes, so much wrong with this. Carbon Tax Carney is going to go all out on carbon tax and climate change and CBDC. He is also friends with Epstein/Maxwell, wink wink.
Here in Michigan, we border Canada in several places. They are great people best by idiots ruling over them. Unfortunately, they never broke away from the UK.
We crossed through lower Ontario to get to NY. Saw a few wind turbines right after we crossed, but not one solar farm. I wonder how they eat to Green with the new guy.
The obsession with egg prices on the left drives me nuts. As if egg prices were why we voted for Trump. I’d pay any amount for eggs (or get my own) to improve the likelihood that my kids have a future in this country and that we don’t have nuclear war.
In Lidl the other day looking for eggs. Someone put an “I did that!” Sticker with Trump pointing to the price lol ($8.00). They sure made them stickers fast lol
Our disgusting gov. is going after chicken farms and destroying them here in Canada. Just recently in B.C. they are trying to cull an entire farm of ostriches who have tested positive for immunity. The CFI agents were warning the owner that she was NOT to get any independant testing done, which thank goodness she did anyway.
The reason that Canada and Mexico were spared is because the virus escaped from a US Ag Department poultry research lab in Athens, Georgia. That lab specializes in researching novel viruses in birds.
We only just now saw a huge jump in egg prices....$12 for 18. That's about $5 more than what we paid a few weeks ago. I didnt price them yesterday when we went. Fwiw, I dont like eggs, so we get by just fine with buying them just for the bf
We pay $4 a dozen for fresh eggs from a old friend. She never increased her price. I pay $1 per dozen to help cover chicken feed which went way up in the last few years.
Price of eggs was high since Team Biden culled over 60M chickens over a fake health scare.
Since then new chickens are cranking new eggs and the crisis is subsiding.
NOTE: there was no chicken culling in Canada or Mexico.
Apparently the bird flu doesn't jump borders.
Cruel and inhumane, not to mention needless.

Bear makes great sausage! Legally harvesting one that has decided to live off of humans is a service to your neighbors.
Bear chili
Bear tacos
Bear stew
Bear jerky...yum!
I like also the Plymouth Rocks and the best egg layers are the white Leghorns.
Once I had a coop with both reds and rocks and it was interesting how they always segregated themselves into two flocks. They never mixed together.
I’ve noticed few birds and few fish ever get “multicultural”.
I guess the old saying, "Birds of a feather flock together," is based on laws of nature.
I bought Golden Comets, Isa Browns, Easter Eggers, Leghorns and Ply Barred Rocks. The Goldies and Isas lay huge eggs.
Yay, congrats! Hens are just wonderful and your girls will provide delicious eggs and good company!
Hens are the best pets.!!!
Enjoy the fresh eggs - it's all easier to manage than you can imagine!
To me, the only real problem is the predators.
Exactly, we "fort knox'd" our coop to include wire in the soil around and blocks, wire on the window and around the small run (overhead protection of the run too from hawks), but didn't have the electric fence to start. We said the only thing that could get in was a bear, b/c a bear can get into whatever it wants, and that's what happened...
Also, with the fence, remember to 'bait' the fence too, because a bear will nose or lick the sunbutter/peanut butter and 'learn' not to touch the fence. If you don't bait, he can just shoulder or arm his way through.
I had Call Ducks in a pen. The first bear I've ever seen in my area showed up early one morning. He wandered around the back yard for a few minutes before heading toward the front, where the duck pen was. The pen was high off the ground and totally covered in 1/2" "hardware cloth (rat wire in the South)" to protect against any other predators.
As I watched the bear head that way, I grabbed my 12 gauge pump and quietly opened the door, waited to see what happened. As I saw the bear's nose around the corner, I fired a couple of rounds in the air (we're in the country, lots of room). You have NEVER seen a bear turn tail and run SO FAST.
We were at that house for three more years but NEVER saw the bear again. Not sure he'd ever heard such a noise. 😂
Love it! Part of my saving of the rest of the crew, I fired two rounds from my .40 (in a safe direction) since I couldn't see the bear and that they like to lurk around (and wanted him to associate the sound with what he had just did to our feathered girls) and I think that contributed to his skedaddling away, I heard him lumbering through the swamp area and crashing through the brush. Black bears do not like loud noises... I still give the Buff Orpington the preponderance of the credit for her bravery and sacrifice under teeth and claws. :)
Mary, You’re a brave woman to go shoot at a bear! I’ve shot snakes and skunks, and thank the Lord we don’t have bears!
Not really, had he come my way, all I had to do was step into the front door. He was at least 20' away. I caught him by surprise also. Don't think he'd have tried to eat the ducks (an appetizer for him) but he might have destroyed rhe pen. At $60 + each, I couldn't afford to lose the ducks. Besides they're so cute. 😉
Yeah, definitely a constant concern.
Reds are our best layers, they are little troopers!
I always thought that it was the White Leghorns?
They supposedly are great but I can only speak from our limited experience, very limited. We’ve only had 6 hens for two years, consisting of two breeds, the Reds and Easter Eggers, the Easters lay a beautiful blue/green egg, but about half as many.
It’s so wonderful to see all of these comments on chickens. Congratulations to everyone. Enjoy the fresh eggs and companionship 🙏🏻♥️💯🇺🇸
If you can’t raise your own chickens the next best thing is to have a friend who raises chickens and now and then will give you free eggs. 😊
I have a reciprocal relationship with my son's flock. I save kitchen scraps for him and the hens, and he sells me the eggs.
Make sure you read Jeff’s post from March 7th that had that discussion about Marek’s disease in chickens! Best of luck to your son!
Most are inoculated by the breeders as day old chicks.
Be sure if he get them from a farm store to get "PULLETS". Less chance of getting 50% Roos.
Also check out "Red Sex Links" a breed cross of RI Reds and Leghorns (I believe) Super sweet and laying machines.
Also bielfelders are easily distinguishable at hatching. Females have a dark chipmunk pattern and males have a light spot on their head. Great birds, friendly and productive.
And you don't even need a noisy rooster!!
I love to wake up to a rooster. Just be sure to give him a harem of about 15 hens, or he will become very frustrated and hard to deal with.
Roosters have the highest percentage of testosterone than any animal.
We have a beautiful rooster that was hand raised by friends. We got him as a cockerel and the girls taught him how to be a good rooster. He is so very respectful and has begun to be their mate. Always watches the fence line and the sky, and has a really soft crow.
Well, they do HAVE TO service a lot of wanton women!!
If you free range your girls, you definitely need a rooster!
And according to a commenter a couple of days ago, roosters are loaded with testosterone and need a harem of at least 15 hens.
I love the Rhodies. They are a class act. Great choice.
They're great hens. Plucky and resilient.
Intentional to destroy farmers.
Seems like farmers around the world are always being made to kill their flocks and herds over some supposed outbreak. Always breaks my heart to hear about.
BINGO. To demoralize us
Also to destroy our food supply. It is the weapon that has been around for thousands of years.
Yes it’s a solution born out of insanity, or malice.
Insanity and Malice.

What does it take for people to awaken to Truth? I can understand that the Truth is very difficult for some people to come to terms with.
Jesus is The Truth with a capital T.
If you still think Trump touts the same OWS you are describing* then I believe you are the one that is having trouble with coming to terms with THAT*.
At least, I can admit I might be wrong.

Hey guys .... make sure to scramble your comments ! We are all being monitored here at C&C by the culling coop killers.
And apparently bird flu does not jump state lines either. Here in Pennsylvania, kids who belong to 4H clubs have not been allowed to show their prize chickens for 2 years now, but in Ohio (which is less than an hour's drive for me) chickens are still shown at county fairs and special competitions.

The reason that Canada and Mexico were spared is because the virus escaped from a US Ag Department poultry research lab in Athens, Georgia. That lab specializes in researching novel viruses in birds.
"Escaped"...I guess it wouldn't make sense for that virus to "escape" from China lab..
So we cull in MN but not in Ontario?
We only just now saw a huge jump in egg prices....$12 for 18. That's about $5 more than what we paid a few weeks ago. I didnt price them yesterday when we went. Fwiw, I dont like eggs, so we get by just fine with buying them just for the bf
We pay $4 a dozen for fresh eggs from a old friend. She never increased her price. I pay $1 per dozen to help cover chicken feed which went way up in the last few years.
I was able to pay that to a client at my last job, but I quit that job because the bosses were nuts. I was unable to keep in touch with the client.
I buy eggs direct from local farmers; they only charge $6/dozen
Our local egg families are charging $3/dz.! Grocery store prices are huge, though. Vital Eggs are $10/dz. in the grocery stores here in PA.
And they're 10X better
$15.00 at farmer's market. A few years ago they were $7.00.
Here in Arkansas eggs were $7/doz (grocery store, not Walmart) and $15/18. Usually the larger carton is cheaper?🤔
That’s strange! And expensive!
