He just thought it was the chickens that caused it, so he stopped chasing them and never bothered them again. You made a good point.

Quote: That will work eventually. The idea to get into the dog's head, tho, is that those are YOUR chickens and if you want them bit YOU will do it yourself. YOU are the alpha in the pack and the dogs need to learn to leave YOUR stuff alone. How does the alpha teach that? Up close and...

It looks too small for 4 chickens. Do you keep them in it all the time in the house? Might want to rethink that. Wire isn't good for feet--chickens or bunnies.

I thought of another thing that is good. I got this idea on this site. Put a vinyl floor in the coop and make it go up the wall a ways. Cover the floor with shavings. Whenever you feel like cleaning, it's easy to wipe down.

A human door and a chicken door. Space for everyone, human and avian, to move around inside. I wish I had made mine a little bigger so I could have had a separate area for food and supplies that I didn't want poop on. A real pen, not a little place under the house. Paint and trim so it doesn't...

Is the clock there so they know what time to get up in the morning?

What do you have covering the floor? If it's wood chips maybe the toes appear and disappear like bugs. If that's the case maybe another material would be better. Then again, by this time maybe they have taught themselves to peck their toes. I can't think of what you could cover the toes with...

Beautiful blue paint, matches your extension cord! I see you used chicken wire, generally a no-no, but you covered it at the lower part with a stronger material. If you're lucky no bad guys will come around in the daytime and try to get in the run. At night your chickens will be locked up like...

1. Forget about the apostrophes. 2. It sounds like a neat plan. I wouldn't think that plain sand would stain, but the stuff that might mix in with it could. Are the girls going to have a sunny yard?

Quote: I'm assuming that the daughter is yours and not Henry's. What in the world are you doing with a seven-foot constrictor around your child? Henry is not your friend. He is a potential child killing, child eating wild animal.

Quote: Unless a person knows what they're doing in term of genetics and so forth as put in a previous post, they shouldn't be messing with breeding any kind of animal (except maybe mice or chickens). Same thing goes for backyard dog and cat breeders. So, if a person has a dog that they love...

joskt0204 Those are nice dogs in the background.

So your saying as a private individual if I wanted to start a private foundation to save endangered animals I shouldn't be allowed? Unless a person knows what they're doing in term of genetics and so forth as put in a previous post, they shouldn't be messing with breeding any kind of animal...

Could be both at the same time.
