"My very old wood shingled house has always had rats. I had a rat problem in my chicken coop but solved it with a mesh floor. Vancouver is loaded with rats. A rat can get through a hole the size of a quarter. Sheet metal cones (like dogs have on…"

"I have toxic industrial rat glue from Asia, not the Realkill from Home Depot, those are weak-sauce. If you don't mind polluting the Delta landfill, I am willing to barter for fresh eggs."

"If you go to an agricultural feed store (you'll find them in Ladner, Delta, Cloverdale and Pitt Meadows), you can buy (like Hawk rodent control bait chunks) poison and a (Tomcat) bait trap and that will address your vermin problem. Or you can…"

Rats!!!
I am having rat problems! They are eating my veggies and fruit from fruit trees and climbing onto my balcony and pooping everywhere. I did not have this problem before I got my beautiful hens. I tried poison, but am nervous about it and it doesn't seem to work, and they avoided my rat trap. I don't store hen food outside, so what's a girl to do? I am contemplating getting rid of my beautiful hens!See More

Cheers, -Kristi

"That's so smart using the space below the stairs. Very efficient. I bet those stairs are at least 1 meter from the property line if they were built to code."
Caroline replied to Caroline's discussion Golden eggs in the group Chicken Coop Co-ops
"That's lovely. It sounds like you have some lovely breeds too. You must be having fun. They are fun aren't they - so cute, I've got one, my Sussex, who keeps on wanting to come in the house! - I let them range in the back yard…"
Alyssa K replied to Caroline's discussion Golden eggs in the group Chicken Coop Co-ops
"In answer to your original question, I do not have a Vancooper, but Duncan played a big part in the construction of what I do have (mostly alley-finds and cobbled together).
I have 1 White Brahma (white color), 1 BO (Buff Orpington, gold color), 1…"
