    It was love at first sight 😍 Sulley couldn't understand why the dogs wouldn't play with him. He's bigger than they are lol. He was so happy to have a playmate and friend

    I agree, my little rattie was my best dog ever. Sure miss that guy.

    The Evolution of Atlas: A Breeding (and Chat) Thread

    The pom, Zorro, was a rescue. I was told that he was kept in a crate for a year and a half and used for breeding. Apparently he didn't want to do his job and the breeder felt like Zorro was too tall anyway. He's turned into such a wonderful companion. He has his quirks but then so do I. He...

    The Evolution of Atlas: A Breeding (and Chat) Thread

    We had a Siberian husky but he didn't know he was a husky. He would just lay there on the grass while a rooster was chasing a hen around said dog. Never tried to go after the chickens and never tried to wonder off except for the time he chased a fox that was trying to get chicken dinner to go...

    Negative 25 here at 9 this morning. We took an oil filled radiator out to the coop last to help some. No way would the little radiant heater be enough in those temps.

    I hope he can find a good Dr. Statins are known to make some people have muscle aches. I was on them for awhile because my cholesterol is high. But my muscle aches got so much worse I had to stop taking them. My DR agreed that I was pretty low risk and that mine was probably due to genetics...

    Be prepared for the stink eye when they see the white stuff that you allowed to get on the ground

    I'm sorry your husband is in so much pain. I'll keep y'all in my prayers. It's really cold here. I did get the radiant heater and my husband hung it up by the roost. I think it'll be ok except for these negative temps. It was -5* this morning. Forrest was hanging out in a nest box earlier today...

    The Omega Rocks: The Last & Ultimate Barred Plymouth Rock Flock

    Yes ma'am. The other cockeral I had was named Gump. My Aunt picked the name. But he died, I believe from a heart attack. So when I got this one I figured Forrest would be a good name. Especially since my BA girls had green names, Willow and Fern. I did that because of the pretty green sheen of...

    I sure will. I'm hoping that it works well. I have one girl who is at the bottom of the pecking order. She has even started sleeping away from the others. So I worry that she'll get too cold without anyone to share body heat with. Tonight, when I went to doctor Forrest, the rooster, she was...

    The Omega Rocks: The Last & Ultimate Barred Plymouth Rock Flock

    I've never provided heat in the past. And most of my roosters did fine. However this black Australorp boy has a very large comb and wattles. So he did get frostbite. And to make matters worse, the girls started pecking at said comb and wattles. My husband was the one who said to put a heat lamp...

    Thanks. I have a 250 heat lamp hanging above the center of the roost. I use hardware cloth over it also. I might look into getting one of those radiant heaters. I had to go out by myself tonight, since hubby was working late, to put the Neosporin on the rooster. He's such a sweet boy. He let me...
