    What dog is best for guarding chickens?

    Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions. That has eased my mind and I think I will start checking the rescue web sites for a young dog that I can train myself. At this point, I am not even sure what I will end up with, but will be taking my time and not rushing into anything because once I...

    What dog is best for guarding chickens?

    I have heard so many conflicting opions of which dog to get to protect my flock of chickens at night I would like others to voice their opinions. I have been told that border collies are the way to go, but others have said steer clear.... I've been told Greay Pyrenese as well, but then someone...

    Oatmeal

    I too give my girls oatmeal, almost daily. Dry if it is warm out and cooked if cold out. I will add raisins and keifer (to the cooked oatmeal). I also reuse my egg shells. I grind them up in the coffee grinder and put them back in with their food.

    I can't seem to peel my hard boiled eggs - page 8 Solution!

    So glad I remembered to do a search on hardboiled eggs. The last two times I've boiled eggs it was a disaster! I will salvage the 5 already boiled with egg salad, but next time I just might try salt, vinegar AND poking them! Thanks y'all!

    Frozen Water!

    I set the waterer inside a heated birdbath (with no water in bird bath) and it has worked great. I had the birdbath in storage in the garage and instead of going out and buying a different waterer I thought I would give it a try. It sits in their pen on top of a piece of hard pink foam...

    What would have carried off my little dog?

    It could also have been a fox. Where I live, we have fox, coyotes, wolves, fisher, badgers, raccoons, etc. and really have to watch our pets. I lost a pommeranian to an eagle 9 years ago and have had an owl swoop down on my two Yorkies at night. I am always with my dogs when we let them out...
