    Prong Collar?! Tell Me About Them.

    I think is depends on the dog. I actually saw a prong collar on a chihuahua. ..WTF?

    I'm looking for a pet silkie, a chicken to hold and love and be part of the family, while also having their outdoor time, under my supervision. My animals love baby animals, so a chick would be welcomed and treated gently by all the dogs and cats and kept safe.

    Hi, I am new here and VERY new with chicken ownership. I have researched silkies and I am looking for a breeder in Union County or close by. So far the best place I have found online for silkies is almost 3 hours away and I do not want my chick shipped.
