    (Cont'd) Because they are black & don't latch, just crawl & bite; are the tinier .5mm vs. the red mite is 1.5mm. I read its ok to use frontline for this? would i have to get dose for large dog? I got permethrin spray for hens. Haven't used yet on baby chicks. Also read Sevin dust works, DE does...

    Fox came 1:30 p.m. to kill 2 bantees

    Ya, we just kept them inside after this attack. they have a fortress that can't be gotten into by fox but our fault was letting them range during day. After neighbor killed 2 red fox, we let them out occasionally. No probs as of yet. But I agree, there will be another to move into this...

    Fox came 1:30 p.m. to kill 2 bantees

    Saturday October 27, 2018. Red fox came to cause chaos and fear and he trotted amongst our 15 banties out in front of our barn. One bantie ran & hid in the shallows of our pond. One 4 month old flapped her wings so hard she ended up on top of our pole barn. Fox did get away earlier in the day...

    Mental Shock After Fox Attack

    Because foxes kill chickens? They kill just to kill&don't deserve to live when they kill our gentle pets who don't kill, but lay eggs, love, are gentle&innocent. We put poison in a chicken carcass&tied it to the fence hole the fox uses to get to our chickens. Hopefully the fox who just killed...

    What breed should I get?

    We ended up getting what we thought were 2 female Sebostapels. But one of them turned out to be male. They were so loved by our 2 emden males and they ended up raising them. The 4 are inseparable now, 5 yrs later.

    What breed should I get?

    We have 2 male emdens. They are very protective of their property and the ducks. One got in a fight w/a fox and got bit in his beak and eye. The duck he was protecting did get killed but he tried. Both of the geese are very motherly to ducklings and goslings over the years. They are loud...

    Is a goose right for me?? Goose lovers, please help!

    I have owned peacocks, ducks and geese since 1990. I have alot of experience. In my opinion I think an Emden goose would be the best because they are the loudest and largest. So many people come to our house and refuse to get out of the car until we shoo the geese away. They have used the...
