Looks like a back in December deal. But, you can just catch him with another one. Use wire, tie carcass around his neck. Keep him outside. Let it rot on him two weeks. That'll be it.
Yes, I've done it and seen it work very well on German Shepherds, Never came back to the bird. Dog also learns it gets no affection for a couple weeks. Who's going to pet it?
Take chicken dog has killed. Wire chicken firmly around dog's neck. Let rot, two weeks is enough. Obviously, keep dog outside. Dog will not kill another chicken.
'Egg-Maculate' Conception? Stray rooster, no question whatsoever. You don't have to hear neighbor roosters or even know if any are around, because they migrate. Distant, backwoods farm here. We've had early a.m. migrating roosters show up for decades. Then, off they go. The natural will to...
(Chickalina, Feather 13, Wyrop) Thanks for the interest in, "Big Jake".
He's been indoors each night, for a well over two weeks. His eyes have finally opened and only a few days ago, was seen to pick his first grass, that is, to actually, 'graze'.
Jake is brought back in around 2pm, at this...
Thanks Songster,
He's begun to drink more but still requires help, you have to position the bowl for him. Pouring on the eggs and starter chick grain, Vit B Complex and Vit E.

That's hilarious, just funny!
Still working away with Jake, getting ivermectin paste ready and more scrambled eggs.
There is improvement in his eyes,since introduction of Vitamin E gel and B Complex.
Now, not massive...
Well, thank you for your interest in "Big Jake" and his well being.
As to writing, I'm merely trying to convey it appears it's not just me in the house, concerned about Jake at 4:30 am.
Just this morning several people shouted down, "Go out to the well!" as well as encouraging me with, "Fun to...
Thanks Wyrop,
His crop was much smaller this am. If that means something.
He also crowed about 30 times, eliciting about 20, "Fun to You", comments from various household members, while you could hear things falling in adjoining rooms. Still puzzled as to their wishing I might "Have Fun" at...
I can't get Safeguard here in WA State, for chickens. The VET PACS sewed up a lot of medicines. New laws force a Vet visit, with animal, typically $150 and up, then they sell the Safeguard poultry meds to you, from their office. Held off ordering through mail, because I didn't think he'd even...
