    Rooster Terrozing My Dog

    I do like the idea of a tarp, to block off what he can see. He's a jack Russell chihuahua mix

    Rooster Terrozing My Dog

    While I would live to put a fence around our front yard to block off the chickens and rooster. Our front yard is like half and acre big. It would cost an extremely lot of money to put a fence our house to block them off. They used to go in this LARGE pen we have for our ducks and geese. But they...

    Rooster Terrozing My Dog

    I will not get rid of my dog. That is not and option. And in all honesty the rooster and chickens are my dad's not mine. He won't get rid of them and I won't get rid of my dog. My dog was here before the rooster. I've been working on training him not to bark but he's one hell of a stubborn dog...

    Rooster Terrozing My Dog

    So our chickens and rooster free range, we've noticed they're healthier and happier that way. They have a coop they can go into but they rarely do. I don't mind them free ranging, except for 2 reasons. One, they poop ALL over our porch, cars, trailer, etc. Anywhere and everywhere And two...

    Seriously Worried About Ducks

    I have noticed recently the geese seem to be picking on certain ducks more and even each other. I thought it was a hunger thing so I started feeding them alot more. But I'm thinking...of they're somehow to cause of Hedwig's death...i might have to rehome them as much as it pains me I'm scared to...

    Seriously Worried About Ducks

    I've added a picture of how I found her in case anyone can give me insight. After checking her over I'm going to give her a proper burial.

    Seriously Worried About Ducks

    Bed news. I woke up this morning to find hedwig dead. She was looking much better the past day but suddenly she's dead. I found her laying completely on her back, legs stretched up. No wounds on her, not a scratch and I can see no signs of an animal getting in. I'm extremely saddened by this as...

    Seriously Worried About Ducks

    Their pen is large, like the length of at least 4 45ft trailers-it was originally created to hold 4 to 5 horses to give you an idea of just how big it is. We had them out of there when the gosling was super small but it's bigger than them now and leaves them alone. Plus the size of their pen is...

    Seriously Worried About Ducks

    I have 9 ducks, 4 cayugas, a Welsh harlequin, 3 Swedish blues and a perking. They're less than a yr old still but full grown. They share a pen with 7 geese, one with is a youngling. They all share a communal kiddie pool for water, becuase I needed something low for the ducks to drink out of but...

    Did my dogs kill the chickens or something else?

    HUGE UPDATE: Good news the chicken we thought our dogs killed has been found! She was out in our horse pasture!! As for the bones and feathers our leading theory is that when Misa and Piper got out they found one of the remains of the chicken that the foxes killed, since there was zero blood on...

    Did my dogs kill the chickens or something else?

    I have a jack Russell terrier mix who I thought would be the one to chase our chickens. Nope. He's deathly afraid of them, runs with his tail between his legs when he sees them

    Did my dogs kill the chickens or something else?

    I really really hope it wasn't my dogs, but I know it could always be a possibility. So that's why piper will be getting training, the course I'm looking at teaches them how to be around an leave alone things like bunnies, guinea pigs, goats, etc so I'm hoping taking that course will help teach...

    Did my dogs kill the chickens or something else?

    I'm definitely signing my younger girl Piper up to a training course that's like 9 weeks, I was already planning to do it before this. She had stopped spooking the ducks so I had thought she had calmed down. The backyard gates are now more securely locked so that they can't get opened like that...
