Just small patches here and there? Drop cages all around will protect those spots. Big spots, I would just scatter straw, water, and hope for the best lol

I have a few pullets with extremely small combs like that. Mine are mixes of mostly American gamefowl, Dominique, and saipan gamefowl. I'm hoping to line breed a little and see if it's a stable trait that can be passed.

Any tips on training a lgd to stand between it's owner and a perceived threat? Dogs are all reasonably well trained. Doesn't jump. Extremely friendly. Knows sit, stand, leave it, stay, shake etc. I want one to run to my children and shield them when needed. I've had several incidents and my 4...
