Mrs. White is a bit better but, is in very serious condition. When I visited this morning the hospital were not allowing visitors. I talked with her granddaughter and she said they had to treat her immediate injuries but, her bones shattered because she has osteoarthritis. and are going to have...
My mom called Mrs. White's granddaughter. Apparently she has mild Osteoarthritis. It broke her hip, dislocated her arm and cracked some vertebrae. Another neighbor heard her screaming and saw the dog dragging her across her lawn and beat the dog off with shovel while his wife called the police...
Beautiful watching chicks hatch.
I wish to thank MissPrissy too. I haven't talked that much to her but, I read her posts even before I joined this site and got all the info I needed to hatch eggs myself.
Kinda like the chicken guru.
The 2nd neighbors pit dog with the puppies escaped and just mauled an old lady in her front yard about an hour ago. The dog was taken to be put down and the owner arrested. The old lady (Mrs. White) had her arms and face in shreds and was taken to the hospital. I could just see this happening.
I have spoken to the owners. They consider chickens pretty much invaluable. Their dogs are considered "babies" so they do not discipline/keep it in check. The dog doesn't even respond to them calling it. He has the mentality of "Oops my dog got away again, here's 5.00 or 10.00 for your chicken...
I was impressed with the Kodova Long Crowing Rooster someone had on here before pointing to a video. I would really like to have some of these. Only I cannot find them anywhere in the US. If anyone knows of a place let me know. Strangely someone offered to ship me eggs from Kosova, is this even...
Read this guy's page. This worked well with the three I found where the neighbor's cat killed the mother. One was released and the other two I kept upon recommendation from my vet because they became much too tame to be released (free roams the house with my cats, sleeps on my pillow, watches...
Roosters make a gargling sound to show the hens where the good food is. Sometimes he picks it up and gives to one. The hens say he is such a fine pimp.

I have several chain link dog kennels where it rammed the door evidently for a long period yesterday until the latch piece turned inwards. I had to use a wrench to loosen and re-adjust as I couldn't move the latch by hand. Most dogs shoo off pretty easily. This one seemed aggravated...
It's difficult to know what chickens are listed as. It is pretty vague. In some ordinances they are listed as pets and others listed as property. Livestock is mostly the hoofed animals.
Local ordinances say that property damage, threats to pets, property, or people as reason to shoot or...
EweSheep: That is very frightening and really an accident in the making. The local ordinances here state that if your dog viciously or unintentionally harms a human the dog is put down, the owner gets 3 years in prison with a 5000.00 fine for 1st offense. 2nd offense is 5 years in prison and...
Well the woman's brother whom lives with her came over this morning offering to pay money for his dog and blamed it on his sister's incompetence. Apparently he is disabled and he and his sister live together. It broke into my chick cage again. This time it rammed the chainlink door panel until...
Give them some moistened artificial sweetener with aspartame. It will kill them quickly. I used this until I found a few of my chickens have a taste for fire ants.
