    broody jersey giant

    10 week old great pyrenees being aggressive

She didn't growl at all this time. She met my younger lab a little later and she growled when he got to nosey and then he went back...

    Is my leghorn getting ready to lay?

    I just now had my last leghorn start laying and about 3 weeks ago her comb looked just like yours and she's the one in the picture. I'm still new to all this so maybe someone else could tell you when she will start!!
