Thank you, I very much appreciate your reply! I am following a notable wildlife rehab guide, but because the coon we have was solo, the protocol is different. Like, mom is not supposed to engage in play, because mom is too busy finding food... Yet, youngsters need to engage in play, because play...

Noted. My dogs won't allow that, but the information is helpful nonetheless, thank you ;)

Not allowed. But, it's wildlife rehab which is allowed. As much as we'd like to keep her as a pet, that is simply not practical. The issue is that she was a solo rescue, so she only knows me as her mom, and will be familiar with both humans and dogs when it's time for her to go wild... But I...

Interesting to note: the dogs know what she is, and two of the three keep their distance, but observe with interest and discipline whenever she approaches within a certain distance: I'm guessing they know her mother (and have warded her off) but because I brought the baby into our home, they...

I do expect her to be an egg thief, since her baby formula was egg-based and, since weaning, she gets eggs for breakfast every day. But she has yet to hunt her own eggs, despite being placed with the chickens every afternoon.

About a month ago, one of my dogs barked her "something is here that doesn't belong" bark one afternoon. My neighbour had texted me that very morning about an infant coon he saw that appeared abandoned and starving. Sure enough, I went to investigate, and at first spotted only my Chanteclers and...

Okay, cool... If it was mixed with something from a different class, like a shepherd, then it would be difficult to predict exactly what you'd be getting in a dog ;) Don't necessarily stay away from "big name" trainers, loads of them are good. Caesar Milan was very famous with his tv show, but...

You said it's a mix? Mixed with what? A good trainer is always a good idea, but there are also a lot of free resources online. Kikopup is a good one that was recommended to me by a trainer who works with movie animals. Personally, I've spent a total of $20, and I hired the guy because I was...

I have yet to see a physical fence that will contain an LGD. They are champion diggers and excellent climbers! We use the invisible fence for ours. Train the new puppy to it right away on the mild collar (which is the equivalent of shuffling your feet across carpet and touching a doorknob), then...

Has anybody crossed Wyandotte with Icelandic? I have 25 of them, hatched a week ago. Chicks sales this year are beyond dismal (whereas last year I couldn't keep up!) so it looks like I might be stuck with these. I'm just wondering what I can expect, particularly in the way of growth.

*pocket full of money, a big box and cargo net* to buy CHICKS. Edit button refused to work.

DC is actually in Shawville, Quebec ;) I have had the thought to just do a road trip with a pocket full of money, but just Montreal is twelve hours away, and she's like an extra three hours past Montreal 😩 Maybe when I finally get my Kawasaki zx14r 😁😆😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 and can do the entire roundtrip in one...

I did see them, and made a note. I will have to send a message. I have dealt with DC Heritage already, and I won't rate a pro nor con, since the first shipment was done during plandemic and we went with Purolator, who smashed half the eggs. My second shipment she covered half the eggs, since...

Aw, that's too bad! I'm looking for hatching eggs.

Thanks! I'm looking for Breda, brabanter, Iowa blues and deathlayers. There is a breeder in Quebec that I'm going to try one more time for the IBs and brabanters, but the Breda I would like to get from somewhere else. A lady in BC has them for a reasonable price, but to ship a box via air will...
