    Hey Northerners: What is the absolute coldest air temps your chickens have experienced happily!

    Hey Northerners: What is the absolute coldest air temps your chickens have experienced happily!

    Training/Teaching a dog about chickens

    Totally agree with shock collars. Not any different then horse learning to be fenced by a hot wire... they quickly learn not to go near it. The dogs will learn also, but they should have good training to key words, also so they respnd to the owner.

    Too Many Roosters

    A field full of stallions or bulls etc. can all live together....as long as no females are around! I have the same problem of sorts, I have a rooster and a hen that had 5 babies, 2 turned out to be roosters, those two are sticking together, with the "dad" keeping them in check! Since they...
