Corey's Coop-Dee-Doop
I had thrown around the idea of getting a few chickens so I could have fresh eggs. I feed my dogs an egg a day as they are on a raw, prey-based diet. I thought it only made sense to have my own chickens to have fresh eggs. Easter weekend, I ventured to the local lumber...
My other passion is my Rhodesian Ridgeback dogs. I Show in AKC, train, attend performance events, and very occasionally breed responsibly, with all tests required.
I am wondering the same thing. My coop/run is screwed into a base that has 3 feet of rebar drove into the ground. The purpose of the rebar was to keep it from shifting on the ground. I don't think it will keep it from being uprooted. Should I move the birds (I only have 4 ) into the garage until...
Remember that a greyhound is a sighthound. A quick unexpected movement could easily ellicit the prey drive reaction. My dogs are outside the coop all day, but as soon as one of my birds flaps or makes a quick movement, they arre all over the coop. I don't trust them at all. They are dogs after...
I have found the heat thrapy to be a big relief. I am still working on sleeping through the night... but I'll get there eventually.
I will look into the milk of magnesium. I will try anything at this point. The Aubrey's remedy seems to be working quite well at least.
I go back to the Dr on...
This is fair warning, the pictures in this post show the outbreak at it's worst. Those with a sensitive stomach be forewarned.
I can only surmise that I got into Poison Sumac... mosly because I didn't know what it looked like before it all happened. I am extremely sensitive to Ivy, so I did...
Nope you're not the only one.... that's how I ended up with my now 16 week old kitty... his mommy was hit by a car. I didn't take the whole litter, but my friend's neighbor did.
The Paulowina tree, or Empress Tree is considered a nuisance tree. They are difficult to kill. They have dinnerplate sized leaves, and grow very rapidly with beautiful blossoms in the spring. Since they are difficult to kill, I would say they are fine in storms as they will always come back...
A Park Ranger at one of our Nations National Parks. However in the real world... I would have to seel my house and all my worldly possessions. Although honestly, I wouldn't mind much as I only have a few things that really matter to me. My animals being one of them.
I don't dare let my Ridgebacks out with the chickens. They have a high prey drive, and look at chickens as a free meal. They are a hunting breed and were designed to hunt game and fowl of all sizes. My dogs do have experience hunting and in their haste to "flush" a bird I'm sure would...
I would call ahead and ask before you go to the trouble of getting them all ready to go, and putting the stress on them, just for them to turn you away. You've got a 50/50 chance, so it wouldn't hurt.
Good Luck!
I like to feed mine dry rolled oats by hand. My chickens are a bit skittish, so this is the best way to get a good look at them and get in some interaction.
