    Dog Breed Experience Poll/Database

    2 lab/shepherd mixes. One would kill them if he could catch them. The other one is a chicken guard dog. He keeps himself between the chickens and the other dog. Hardly conclusive for breed type, but interesting.

    two eggs??

    I have an EE hen that has been laying for about 3 weeks. Twice now she has skipped laying for a day and then layed 2 eggs & last week she skipped 2 days and then layed 3 eggs, one in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. She is the only EE and all the eggs were blue/green, so it had to be her!

    Bringing chickens into a yard with dogs

    I have 2 big dogs. the old one would like to eat the chickens but is too old to catch them. the young one has decided it is his job to protect the chickens. He keeps himself between the chickens and the old dog. I am amazed.

    Urban chicken people...i have a question

    We built a portable run in the shape of an A-frame, so it is covered. The chickens go in there during the day time. It is made out of electrical conduit and chicken wire. That is good enough for daytime because it is in a fenced yard with 2 big dogs that have been taught not to chase or bark at...
