All of my boys are still cockerels. My choices are Nilo, a ten month old Australorp who is the dominant male, Jesus, a seven month old Silkie x Game bantam who is second in command, and a little aggressive, and Bluebell, a seven month old Blue Copper Marans who is at the dead bottom. All of my...

I will definitely try this. Thank you!

Why an old rooster?

Do you mean have the rooster constantly in front of him?

Now, she sleeps in an old chicken coop across the yard. She cannot see them, there is brush in the way and they are not close.

The mange is cleared up pretty well. Now I am just working on the training. Even now that she is not chasing, she still will bump into and nip at the two oldest silkie chicks. She tries to make it look like an accident.

The energy level is not really what I am having a problem with. I play with her and give her a lot of attention, then we get serious. If I would not take her aside and let her play around first, I bet training her would be very difficult. I do not want her listening to me out of fear, and not...

My mother has asked him before if he planned on spaying or neutering. He said no. If he did do it, it would likely have to be against his will. I am typically against altering the sexual organs of animals, but I could see how it would be logical in this case. He feeds the dogs, but the mother is...

No, but if I want them to go anywhere, it would be somewhere that will not kill them. Which is very unlikely. What I meant was I do not know how I would go about doing that without my mother knowing. Trust me, I am one of the last people who would want an animal to suffer. His adult dogs are...

I am pretty sure if I did that they would just end up being euthanized. My mother would also be pretty angry with me because they are our neighbors and we deal a lot with them. I really do not know what to do.

I am not sure what kind of mange it was. We planned to worm her first, then wait until her neck sores healed a bit more to where they were not bleeding to put the new treatment on. Clover was free, as was the last female, Kubairu. He lives like a mile up the road and we get feed from him. We...

I definitely hope it goes away, too. Just glad it is nothing the chickens can get. All the puppies in her litter were infested with mange. Some had nearly no hair. But the owner swears up and down it is just fleas, even though we had a vet check her. A different vet gave us another kind of...

Okay, just came back from closing everyone in. Before I came in for dinner and to answer you guys earlier, I had told my brother to put Clover in her pen and open the coop door. I go down to find that for the good hour that I was inside, Clover was in the bantam coop. Alone....WITH THE...

Thank you all for the advice. Whenever I am outside, which is nearly always, I take her with me. "We" take care of the chickens and build things around them all the time. In the mornings when I first let her out, she is really hyper and wants to chase them. I started playing with her for...

I got a female Border Collie x White Shepherd puppy I named Clover about a month ago to help protect the flock. The first night, I showed her the chickens and let her sniff them, and she seemed genuinely uninterested. I had been advised that the best way to get her acclimated to the chickens and...
