    OMGOMGOMGOMG>>>>>> UPDATE!:

    I put away dogs before for chasing, killing, etc. my livestock. However no one knew. They (dogs) just come up missing. Just let the law enforcement handle this all the way. This is real touchy and could get nasty, but lets hope not. Let the police do any talking that may come between the two...

    can't get humidity down!!!!

    The bathroom window being open will give you a humidity reading close to the same outside which is greater than 80%. If you could find or borrow a dehumidifier (costly) from someone for a few days till this rain stops and the outside humidity drops.

    Does the crowing scare em or call em?

    My Dominiques free range and the roosters go into a"fast clucking" mode (not crowing) when there is trouble on the horizon.

    Dominiques? Dominekers? :::added::: Help with sexing please?

    Hi Jay! Glad to see that you are leaning toward Dominique's. Mark's book has a wealth of information in it, and if not for others that collected data, pics, and preserved the breed it truly would be extinct. I invite you to join the Dominique Club if you want to meet and find other breeders of...

    Best recession/depression chicken breed(s)?

    Dominiques, hands down are the survival of the fittest, however I will include Games also. I only raise Dominique.

    Is it true that roosters will not fight much (if at all) if...

    If you have raised them together, they aren't too bad to fight. They have a pecking order though. Its when you introduce new stock that the fighting gets pretty bad.
