    Need Advice from Owners of Chickens who Have dogs that eat them.

    What others have said about the breed of a dog is 100% true. Some (most) dogs have an ingrained drive to chase prey that will over-ride any and all training *at some point* if given the opportunity. Your best bet, if you want to have dogs that are cool with your chickens, is to get a breed...

    The smallest chicken egg I have ever seen!

    Here are a couple of more pictures. It appears that this is VERY close to being the smallest egg in the Guinness book of world records as seen at THIS LINK. Here is on with the egg sitting on a penny.

    The smallest chicken egg I have ever seen!

    I just found this in one of my nest boxes. There are about 25 hens out there that just started laying so I dont know which one is responsible for this one but I thought it was worth sharing.

    Home made auto waterer

    UPDATE ON THE WATERER: This thing really works great. The water container is not too large as I had feared and it stays clean. Of course I have 30 birds using it and its been hotter than all get out here so that helps. However, if I were to do it again, I would use a smaller container, like a...

    Yea I was worried they would not take to it but they really didnt skip a beat and seem to be fine with it. They all drink from it without any problem.

    Help identify these chicks - Ornamental layers from MM.

    I agree with you on the SSH being a roo. Looking at other pics of them at the same age, the hens dont have as much of a comb in any pics I can find. So that one most likely is the "free rare chick" from MM. That appears to be a breed they give out according to comments on their website and...

    Help identify these chicks - Ornamental layers from MM.

    The silver spangled hamburg is awesome looking. I cant tell if that is a hen or a roo though. Looking at other pics it seems that it is not a hen. Any thoughts?
