Phew, I thought I was alone in that. . . . I guess it's only fair - the dog eats their poo.  Recycling at its grossest?

New one from today (not really odd, but kinda cute): pecking the dew off of the hardware cloth when they first get out in the morning.

A Rottweiler (Roxy), a Labrador retriever (Gypsy), 2 breeding turkeys, 7 poults, 3 goats (Charlotte, Tata & Oreo), four ducks, 3 geckos and a yard full of chickens...

Going back home. No internet at the house, so I won't be online as much. Sorry for any RP inconveniences.

I almost forgot! one of my hens was stupid enough to NOT lay in a nest, she layed an egg a couple meters from the ground, it cracked, and they had a frenzy on it!

My Buff Orpington, Hazel is a VERY food obsessed/motivated hen. I was going out to the coop one afternoon with a handful of pirate's booty, and a piece fell onto the ground.... it was gone before I could snatch it and hazel took it and ran into the back corner of the coop to eat it for herself.
