    A dog killed 9 of my chickens...

    Don't go democratic on me. I'm a democrat and thought that was hilarious! When our pets are hurt or especially killed, we all say or do things we don't mean. I'm sure I terrified my neighbor. I regret that, but it worked. I don't regret that. I could have let my Dane kill it, but cared more...

    Any Fishing Enthusiasts here ?

    I really want to come up for ice fishing now, since y'all said it wasn't that cold. I'm heading back to Lake Taneycomo this May for trout

    A dog killed 9 of my chickens...

    I hope y'all don't think I'm nuts for screaming at that lady, but this went on for months and months. The dog was jumping into my yard 2-4 times a day everyday. One of my dogs cost $7000 for me to import. I finally had enough. Irresponsible pet owners don't care about the hardships to others...

    I'll definitely read up on taking care of the chicks. Thanks for the info about the wire! My old pigeon loft has a turbine on top for venting. It gets too much air in winter when that thing is spinning hard. I usually just stop the spinning in winter and just have the vent. I never had a...

    A dog killed 9 of my chickens...

    My neighbors are all responsible dog owners except one. To appreciate the following you have to know I am terrified of people! Well their dog kept getting loose and jumping into my fenced yard. It even jumped the gate on my deck and came in the house. I called animal control twice, my husband...

    calling any one from missouri

    Hi all, thank you for the warm welcome! I found a source for chicks when I'm ready! I can't wait for it to warm up so I can start on the coop. Now I need to figure out one thing though. The coop won't be 8x8 after I put in an escape prevention door. The minimum order is 25 chicks. I hope I can...

    calling any one from missouri

    Hi all, I don't think I have said hello here, since I'm not subscribed to the forum yet. So, Hi!!! I am in Kansas City. I'm so new to chickens, I don't have any yet, or a coop for that matter, lol. I have a large building with a stall and lean to that will eventually be my coop. It first needs...

    Chickengoesruff, I have social anxiety too. can't leave my property unless hubs goes with me. I'm going outside my house into the yard now at least. That is why I'm getting chickens to make it more pleasurable. I really hope the owner steps up for your chickens. Good luck!! And happy wishes...

    Aquariums and fish keeping

    Your corals are gorgeous! I can't wait to get some after I put in the 40g. You are doing awesome!! If you are doing that well with a nano you will do awesome with a 150 or there about. As for Turkeys, I would love one!!! I have to go slowly with hubs. If you knew all of the hobbies he lets me...

    Ps please keep us posted on this. Don't pad the bill. Get accurate written quotes to repair and replace. It won't bring your babies back. Keep the part with the law regarding loose animals hurting fowl. Remember I am not a lawyer. I'm just a middle aged woman with agoraphobia and ptsd. I have...

    Oh I am so sorry for the loss of your feather babies. I am in tears. I would like to add a bit of advice if I may. Please take no offense. I am not a lawyer by no means, just an animal lover like you. I don't think you can get the cost of feed back. Instead have a handy man quote you the price...

    That looks so awesome!!! I hope to try ice fishing someday. I might have to take an extension cord! I get cold! But it would be so worth it!!

    Chicks suddenly died

    I think it is great you and your kids are doing a hobby together and they are learning animal husbandry. Do y'all have stuff like Future Farmers or similar clubs for kids? The only way to teach compassion to animals for children is to show them . Good luck
