    How much?

    Thanks. Animal control is dealing with it. They can’t pin point the dog because the owners are denying that the dog was out. Though they do have to pay fines for other things. All I need is one picture of the dog not on its property and the dog is gone and so are the owners.

    Need cheap and easy ideas for a large run

    I need cheap and easy ideas for a fence. We have had an issue with a neighbors dog coming into our yard and killing our chickens. We want to fence in our back yard do that the chickens and ducks can “free range” in the back yard but be protected from murderous neighborhood dogs.

    Hen can’t close her beak

    I don’t see any, thinking more like dislocation because my daughters and husband noticed the chickens pecking at a tree and trying to climb it

    Hen can’t close her beak

    How would we treat a fractured beak? We don’t have a local vet that deals with chickens. The closest one would be Dr. Pol (yes the one on TV)
