    Smelly Cats!

    Anatolian Shepherd&Chickens

    I Have A 8 mo. Anatolian she is a LGD for my goats who are in a separate part of the property from the birds, so when ever a chicken wanders over that way she barks and jumps around I know she would eat a bird like a snack if she could. Now there is a good sturdy fence to stop her but the...

    Coon attack/ A.M. Radio solution?

    also I'm not relying on the bungees I did put new latches on. its almost overkill three bolt latches and bungees. I guess its just one more line of defense that helps me sleep at night. Jeez now I sound all defensive.....sorry bout that

    how do I stop a hen from being broody?

    Good idea thank-you.actually the box has a wood plank that folds up they use it as a perch but it big enough to block the nesting box.......duh! I always wondered why it was built that way. that should work.

    how do I stop a hen from being broody?

    I've got a hen that has been broody for about 6 or 7 weeks. She was a wild chicken my brother found on his delivery route around 3 am one morning in the middle of the road during winter. So I took her in. She didn't lay an egg until late march.The best I can tell she is a bantam and about 12-18...

    thanks for the positive thoughts. everyone seems to be fine now its been three full days they are all peeping eating and drinking water.(my cats are in heaven staring at them). we learned our lesson as far as helping them out of the egg.

    new roo owner has questions

    just got a three mo. old americana rooster just wondering if anyone knows about this breed? Are they mean noisy etc.? By noisy I just mean crowing all night long. I here roos sometimes in the distance at all hours. Did we make a mistake taking this guy home? He is very good looking though.
