The baby chicks are a mix...3 Buff Orpington pullets, 3 Golden Comet pullets, 2 straight run Welsummers (pretty sure they are both pullets, but not sure), 2 straight run Silver Spangled Hamburg (I think one pullet and one cockerel based on size, but too early to tell for sure)...and either 2...
I he is offered the job, he will have to give at least a two week notice to his current job, and we can get all that stuff done in that time. Leaving me behind to do it really isn't an option b/c I can't drive, so I need to move down there with him. From the phone interview they seem to want...
We currently live in south Missouri. My husband is going to be interviewing for a job in Houston, and if offered he will accept it. The problem is, he will most likely have to start down there soon, they won't wait for us to list and sell our house, so we will have to live in an apartment down...
...one of whom has nine 10 week old chicks she is raising, not to mention the 13 one week old chicks that my other broody chicken refused to raise. *sigh*
Anyway...yes, the drake does chase/attack my small dog in front of me. We have tried just about everything to get him to stop, but...
We have 3 six month old ducks, two females and one male. I have had them since they were only a few days old. Three months ago we got a toy poodle/min pin mix puppy, who is now 5 months old. We also have an 18 month old Australian Shepherd.

I had purchased three Polish Crest chicks, and one died the day after we brought them home, and a second died a couple days later. The only one left, who I named Cricket, did well, but she was very lonely. Chickens are social creatures and they need to be around others of their own kind. I...
So, I got these two chicks at the feed store in the "Ameraucana" bin. They were mixed in with chicks of a million colors. I thought they would be solid blue when they were grown b/c they were both solid when I got them, but obviously not anymore. Does anyone have any clue what color they are...
Sorry, we have been out of town for the weekend.
Said chicken is a little younger than a year old, and female. My puppy if MAYBE half the size of these chickens (he'll be 6lbs full grown), and scared to death of them. He is NOT going to eat them. I have a 40lb Australian Shepherd that this...
We have a 14 week old small breed puppy that has never once messed with the chickens. If anything, he avoids them. My chickens free range, so he is around them all the time, and we have had him for a month.
One of my chickens suddenly today started being very aggressive with him, for...
We have those around also. My chickens pay attention to their calls, and then in turn will sound their alarm, and if need be will run for cover. They also keep an eye out for birds in the sky and will run for cover (usually our covered porch) if they feel the need.
I agree. I would rather...
