    Turning the tables on Predators? ** don't read if you're squeamish

    My hubby has trapped some coons. We just skinned and gutted them and let the chickens have at it. (BTW, they won't eat the guts anyhow--at least mine didn't. Found that out by simple observation, not because we tried to feed it to them...) We didn't have any problems. If I had that many...

    Dried Kelp for Chickens?

    Anyone have any experience feeding kelp to their chickens? We just ordered some and was wondering how it has worked for others. Another question: Our pullets started laying in Sept of '08, we had a light on them all winter and was getting 1 egg/day untill about 2 wks ago. No change in...

    Best way to peel boiled eggs?

    As I was peeling 18 eggs tonight...some chicken, others turkey, and one duck egg, I was thinking about the most efficient way to do it. I tried "shocking" them in cold water first, others I almost burnt my hand as I tried to peel them as fast as I could (per hubby's suggestion) and then some I...

    Better protector: guardian dogs or emus?

    This may be another dumb question but if you had 26 chickens, 3 turkeys, 6sheep, 16 ducks, 1 goose and 4 hunting dogs, would it really be neccessary to get a guardian dog to protect the livestock since the hunting dogs could care less about them? We've never had anything happen, but isn't it...

    Better protector: guardian dogs or emus?

    Reading your thoughts on the Emu thing makes me laugh! Very good points to consider! We're leaning more towards a dog. Plus those Emu are UGLY, but my husband thinks they're "cute." go figure... I don't want a long haired dog because it will be outside all the time and we live in Texas, so...

    Better protector: guardian dogs or emus?

    My husband and I are in a limbo. We have sheep and chickens and want them both to be protected. ((they are in the same pasture) We have hunting dogs also, but they don't care about the sheep or chickens. We're looking towards an Akbash puppy (like a great pyrenees but short hair) or Emu and...
