    Blue Heelers - Will they kill my chickens?

    He will be fine, AS LONG as you train him and be forceful. They are a bread of dog that demands you take control or they will control you. They are like Catahoula’s, you have to be dominate. I have a Catahoula, which is a herding dog, and we trained him to be fine around the girls. He kills...

    RIR vs Redtail Hawk

    I concur; have you ever seen what a mature Red Tail will do to a chicken during its airborn attack? If not, let me tell you... It looks like someone hit a chicken with a baseball bat. They pretty much explode and feathers are lying every where. Now if the RT was on the grown and the RIR meet...

    How many chickens do we all have? 60,083 and counting.

    Quote: 64,031 + 4 (new ones, not the 14 before that...) = 64,035

    Cold Weather; need to enclose girl yet?

    I apologize if this question is being asked in the wrong forum, but now that the cooler weather is starting to settle in around the Atlanta, GA area, do you think it is time to enclose the girls? We have a 10' x 10' shed we built for our girls (close them up in it at nights) that is open on 3...

    hunting

    90% of the time I use a 308 simply because it speed w/ a heavy bullet in the thick brush. The other 10% of the time I use a 300 WSM because they are 300+ yard shoots with a ton of punch. We do a LOT of long range hunting in MO, so the thought of knocking one down at 500+ makes me giddy.

    Oh my am I angry.

    Have they let them out before at night?? If they have done it more than once, they will do it again. I'm a rogue type of guy, so get camo'd out, hide in the dark and when they come to let them out, present them with a shotgun to the face (unloaded if it makes you feel better) and then have a...

    R.I.P. Pollo

    My heart goes out to you, as we recently lost our cross beak girl. It is funny, out of all the girls we have, she was the most loving and friendly one of them all. She would ride on the 4-wheeler, on your shoulder, come in the house and just hang out making these puring sounds like she was so...

    Hawk invasion East Tn

    It is strange, we had a lot of smaller hawks move through back in the tail end of Sept. Haven't seen anything in a while, but keep a watchfull eye since the migration is not over it seems.

    Think your birds don't recognize you? Think again.

    I am going to pass on watching it after reading some of the comments. Having my heart string pulled at work and every one seeing me cry won't go over to well.

    Hawk invasion East Tn

    This scares me.... I think the migration pattern goes through the middle - upper side of GA; and that is where I live. What part of East TN you in?

    Pooping on the porch!!!

    Ahhh yes, the ol' 'I'm coming inside to eat everything' trick! My lovin' wife started that "ahh honey, they are coming to the door" thing a month ago. Now, when the door is open, the leader of the pack will come inside and eat the dog food, then hope up on the counter looking for treats! She...
