I think I'll be there for an hour or less, I can't resist!!! No birds this time though they're all either just coming out of their molts or broken their feathers

I've made the decision not to put her down, for now. I can't justify in my own mind to put her down for one isolated incidence. I don't have any intention of ignoring the problem though. I'm probably going to get prong collar, even though I don't really like them, but the bottom line is to be...

Thank you all so much! every answer has been very helpful. I don't think it's a food aggression problem because she sees the chickens more as puppies than anything edible. I think she was licking some of the blood though, but I think it was more of an over-protection deal than food. The chicken...

Well, where to begin? I have 3 y/o, 110-ish pound, female Great Pyrenees, Wilson, that has never caused any trouble. Her only faults have been that she's a little too hyper sometimes, she jumps, scratches and play bites and when I tell her to stop she doesn't listen a lot of the time. she likes...

Hi! Do you have any pictures of them? Thanks!

You're gonna get me in trouble! the last thing I need is another pen of Cochins!... how many do you have for sale? I can always build another pen if need be! Now, how to convince my parents....

I got 5th place! I was pretty pleased considering one was still a little wet and one had down coming through the feathers because she hadn't preened them enough, so over all it was a good show! Thanks so much!!

Ok, I was able to spot clean 4 and I just gave 2 a full bath. I think they'll dry out to be nice, if not I can just use two others that aren't my first choices. I'm pretty excited, wish me luck!!

Red may give you buff-ish offspring, not sure though. It sound kinda like your hen may be sick, I'd definitely look into that and make sure she doesn't infect the rest of your flock.
