    sexing chicks at home?

    I've been tought to use a lead fishing weight on a string and hold it over their back (where the heart would be). I don't know if it truly works yet, but on all the 'known' birds it did LOL! Even on people when you hold it over the wrist. I'd been told about it before but met some people that...

    I'm just getting into the Modern LF myself! It took several years to find them and mine are still in "project" stage, but I got some fabulous birds from a gentleman that was selling his 6 year project. I'll be picking through my started birds really soon as I need to get them set up and...

    Pyrenees pup ruff with goats, could we train him to be ok around chick

    We are in the process of training a 10mo old pyr. She's so awesome with everyone EXCEPT the chickens that get out of the pen and killed her second guinea today. She'd gotten a hold of my game cock and he walloped her so she leaves him and his ladies alone. I'm trying to be patient and...

    hemmorhage?

    Yeah, that's a problem, she's not let lose 'with' the birds...they get out of the pen and she nabs them...we've been working hard at reinforcing the pen to make it more 'escape proof', but the guineas are a trick. And reinforcing her that chickens are pets, not prey. The guineas roost in the...

    Can I use Adams Flea & Tick on a chicken to help with lice?

    We've used it and it worked well, none of the chickens had a bad reaction either (we used it for stick fleas down in florida...darn nasty critters) Sevin cured everything else! For the sticktite fleas we would cotton swab/qtip it around their face and bam, no more fleas! Now we make dust baths...

    hemmorhage?

    All right, this really sucks and this is the first time I've seen this. I have an LGD that I'm training on the poultry (more on that in another topic later) but she's a pup and is still chasing/catching and occasionally killing birds. Yesterday morning she got a hold of a young (not quite half...
