Every 2-3 wks the light bulb gets loose. I tighten it firmly by hand. I have it on a timer that goes off at 3:00 am and shuts off at 11:00 am. To my knowledge there is no vibration. Am wondering because it is shiney.........do you think the chickens peck at it? They can reach it when they are roosting. Just curious ............... have you ever heard of this?

Any information on animal-rescue-type places will be greatly appreciated, especially by the birds!

As our economy falters, I find that in my area, (2 hours north of NYC) more people are interested in raising their own chickens for meat and egg production. Issues arise as local zoning tends to put acreage limits for having any poultry which will stymie any efforts that I am trying to build. I would be very interested in what issues you folks have come across and how you dealt with them.

It got into the coop and killed the chickens but didn't eat it. Sounds like a weasel to me- I had that a few years ago. It got into the coop and killed the chickens but didn’t eat it.

The problem is that we don't really want or need a chicken. It just showed up in our back yard about a week ago. We posted "missing chicken" on our neighborhood mailing list, and asked around to people on our block, but it seems no one is missing a chicken. I went out and bough some materials today to try to build something that would help it get out of the weather and we've been feeding it, but like I said I don't really think we are cut out for chickens.. Do you know anyone who can take an extra chicken? thnx :) Wayne (wayne dot tedder at gmail dot com) Hey.. we live in on beacon hill, and we have a chicken..
