Ah! Thank you, that helps a lot! There are probably some around that have worked with chickens. And the thing is that pups aren't going to be able to protect against coyotes...so the search begins! Thank you!
Hi everybody!
Thinking of getting great pyreneese to guard the girls (winter brood) who are getting ready to move into their new coop/ yard area. Now, I am thinking of adopting rescue dog (or dogs). So, here is the question: how does one take, say a 1 or 2 year old dog, and convince them...
Sitting on the couch, eating a bowl of cereal, when husband looked up and saw FOX cutting uder the pasture fence. Ran to all guns sitting in various corners of the house and NONE were loaded. I watched FOX as he looked for something in the form of ammunition...by the time he got back, FOX #1...
That is scary! I have een using an R-Zilla 1000 which is designed for reptile cages. I plug my heat lamp into it. It's temperature range is from 60-120 f. So far, it has worked well.
Halleluia! Husband called me in last night to help him order HIM some chickens for spring! I just picked up 5 BO's 2 weeks ago while he was away on a hunting trip, and wasn't sure how he would react...well, fortunately HE IS HOOKED!! Whoopee! He ordered him TWELVE to be "his own chickens"...
