    My Husky is killing my chickens and ducks, I need help!

    Just a note, German Shepherds are NOT low drive dogs or stubborn. My young dog has occasionally chased my girls. One got tangled in the bird netting and she sniffed it. Bird was OK and dog got quite the telling off. My dogs are fairly high drive European working lines though. I have had 2...

    My Husky is killing my chickens and ducks, I need help!

    You've received loads of good advice so far. I agree with those who are saying to keep them separated. If you had managed to stop the problem either before it started or after the very first chicken you might have had a chance. Now you would need an excellent trainer and most of us aren't...

    This is supposed to be a pullet.

    I bought 5 day olds from Tractor Supply. They were sold as sex linked pullets. I have a bad feeling that this one is a cockerel. This one is 10 weeks old.

    Trying to figure out what type of chickens I have

    I took some pictures this evening. The camera on my phone isn't the best but I tried to get some good pictures of the questionable chickens.

    Trying to figure out what type of chickens I have

    That would make me happy. At least they wouldn't end up being dinner for a friend.

    Here is the best picture. The yellow/white ones are the ones in question.

    Trying to figure out what type of chickens I have

    I'm trying to find where my computer decided to put my pictures. They aren't very good pictures.

    I'll try and get some tomorrow. I didn't have my phone with me when I was cleaning the run today and noticed the reddish feathers.

    Trying to figure out what type of chickens I have

    Back in July I bought 5 chicks from Tractor Supply. They were all supposed to be sex linked pullets. 3 look like they are the Cinnamon Queens that they are supposed to be. I thought the other 2 were some sort of cockerel but their combs haven't turned red and as of yet no one is crowing. They...

    white sex link pullets

    Thanks, I'll keep an eye on their combs and cull before they start crowing.

    white sex link pullets

    I found this thread and I have a sinking suspicion that I have 2 sex link cockerels. At what age would I know for sure?

    Cockerels

    They all look almost identical. I have a hard time telling them apart. I have one I call "Adventure Chicken" because she is often by herself, exploring when the girls are loose in the backyard. She is also the smartest at figuring out things. I'm glad she's a she and not a he as I've grown...

    Cockerels

    I have 4 Buff Orpingtons. They are around 6 weeks old, IIRC. At what point should I expect to know for sure if any are cockerels?

    Temporary run

    I have a chain link fence around my backyard so the temporary run will be inside that. Maybe by the time the chicks are ready to go outside I can get some sort of dog run.

    Temporary run

    I want to build a temporary run until I know the neighbors won't make a stink about my chickens. I was thinking `19 gauge hardware cloth pounded into the ground with either rebar or metal fence posts with a bird netting roof. Does this sound like it will work until I know the chickens can stay...
