    Hen attacked by a dog - looking for advice.

    Need some advice. My favorite hen was attacked by a dog Thursday night. She has some skin missing on her back but nothing else appears to be wrong. She won't eat or drink and won't stand up at all. I have been cleaning her wounds and been giving her some antibiotics. I have also been syringe...

    Tame a Nigerian Dwarf

    Update to Pepper. I started my quest to tame him again. I started again this winter by throwing out hay to everyone and then purposely giving him special treats.

    Tame a Nigerian Dwarf

    Hello... I recently aquired a 3 month old Nigerian Dwarf. He was very scared of me when I first got him. He now allows me to pet him while he is eatting his grain and will climb all over me when I have treats. Any other time and he won't have anything to do with me. As soon as he knows I am...
