Where I am if you shoot a dog you have to kill it I do believe. If you shoot to injure it to try to scare it away you could end up with a fine for causing unnecessary suffering to the dog or something like that. Also the dog has to be on your property when you shoot and kill it. Would check to...

Had bears get into my coop tore the food up and dump it all over but ate 10 of my birds. My bears are evil and not nice like you guys bears.

If you have bears in your state defiantly put a door. I just lost 10 birds to bears cause I thought my coop and run was secure enough.

For future use of your original coop if you so choose dig a trench around the outside of the coop and nail hardwire mesh to the bottom. Place rock on top of mesh then cover with dirt. I had rats getting in and taking my babies at night. Now no more problems.

I feel your pain. My coop is quite secure against coons and opossums. However I had a mama bear and baby bears get into my coop. I haven't closed them in in over a year and just last Thursday bears got in cause I was so lax and didn't close them in. I had 13 birds I now only have my rooster and...

I just had a mama bear and babies mess with my coop. While mama bear couldn't get in the pop door I had left open the babies sure could. I for sure lost 2 birds to the bears. My rooster and a hen ended up by the road in my front yard. I was out by the coop cleaning up when another hen came out...

That is a totally rotten thing of him to say/do. I don't understand how someone can treat and do that to another person. I am so sorry. Just don't let it get you down. Be the awesome woman you know you are and show him that the grass isn't always greener on the other side and he has lost out on...

I don't quite understand why you have to get rid of them. And IMO he was planning on not wanting to be married far in advance. To you it is out of the blue but not for him. I say keep the birds it will help the kids with everything that will be going on. And I am sorry he is putting you through...

Duckweed grows without help really. Just make sure it has light. I used to have a fishtank and got like 2 pieces of duckweed and it took over my tank. Stuff is evil unless it is wanted lol.

I have a mature Welsummer cockerel and he doesn't crow either. I've had him almost a month. Maybe he is still just shy. I think yours will crow before mine lol.
