    Hazel Have to tag @featherhead007 with this one! She is setting herself apart a bit, and there's adult Buckeye feathers lying about in her favorite corner. But she molted some in June...thought she was done, it seemed to be a partial molt...and she had a flare-up of her respiratory issue at the...

    Nicely done article, good information, and great pictures, thank you! What is the container in the back of the last picture, it might be Pepper looking over the edge at leaves? Have you used that for a small dustbath?

    Okay, that’s a plan, but here’s an action you could take now: contact the dog control person and explain what’s been happening. Explain that the dog walker was there for the first incident (it wasn’t a dog getting loose and killing something a mile away), and yet came back again, and it happened...

    So sorry, it’s very sad. Will you report this to the local dog officer? A public scolding might have some effect. Does this farmer care? Find out. This dog may not be the only one you have issues with. After this dog dies, eventually and by whatever means, the owner will get and not-train them...

    Thanks. Never tried any of these before, so just did the POW. But it's not a landscape pic and I have no idea about the pixels...

    To me they are both bulgy, with one bigger than the other. She hasn't grown into them as far as I can tell. Chickens often just step into the fray, everybody objects, then resume their business!
