    ***OKIES in the BYC III ***

    I absolutely understand the points made. All very good points but I know the full history we've had with these neighbors and their efforts to annoy not only us but every other neighbor out here. Now, if he had been doing annoying things to other neighbors or they had anything bad to say about...

    ***OKIES in the BYC III ***

    Thank you, I hope so too. I also contacted Great Pyrenees Rescue of Oklahoma this morning. Maybe between them and the posts here, I can find him a better situation.

    It was suggested that I post this here as well since it's more local. If there's a better place for it, please let me know and I will put it there instead. Also posted here -...

    Poultry Friendly LGD in need of rehoming - Northeast Oklahoma

    That's sad! Pyrs are such good dogs. After talking to other neighbors, we've learned that we're not the only ones being threatened and having a dog accused of chasing horses. There are several others. We all agree that we're all fine with each others dogs, we all know all the other dogs but this...

    Poultry Friendly LGD in need of rehoming - Northeast Oklahoma

    They are great at their job for sure! Thanks for the tip about the rescue, that's my next step if I can't find him a suitable placement myself.

    Poultry Friendly LGD in need of rehoming - Northeast Oklahoma

    I think he would be ok without her as long as he's got someone to play wrestle with and some humans around to beg pets from. He doesn't seem too concerned about her when he can't see her. I haven't noticed any fence digging from him but we've got barbed wire that he can just walk through. Only...

    Poultry Friendly LGD in need of rehoming - Northeast Oklahoma

    Not sure if this is the right place for this or not but it seemed like the best place. I have a somewhat urgent situation with my 1 year old male Great Pyrenees, Newt. He's an excellent guardian and has kept everything away from our birds in the time he's been on the job. He seems to be a...

    Help with my chicks and mother hen!!!! Please respond

    I'd give it a few days to make sure the kiddos get the hint. If they run back to her when she comes back, she'll just tell them again.

    Help with my chicks and mother hen!!!! Please respond

    She's trying to get them to leave. She's done her job and it's time for them to move out. This is normal. Do they have room to get away from her when she tries to make them leave? The rooster may think he's the boss but really she is and the chicks will have to learn to follow the pecking order...

    Cockerel or pullet bantam Cochins?

    Top left in last picture looks like a possible cockerel based on how he's standing and how prominent and red comb and wattles are and the other two are pullets.

    If the parent birds are already crosses, how can you possibly get pure anything?

    Ended Official BYC Contest - Post your best broody and babies pic and win!

    This is Nutmeg, the super brooder Cochin Australorp cross with the Swedish ducklings she hatched. Third time hatching for her this year. She'll lay for a few weeks then start collecting to brood again. I thought she would freak out with the ducklings trying to swim but she doesn't. They have a...

    Are Chinese Geese always so loud?

    It might continue and she might calm down. There's really no way to know for sure. As another reply said, that pair bond is very strong so she may be missing her friends or mate. My Chinese female is usually pretty quiet until she sees me, then she makes ten kinds of noise to convince me to pet...

    Safe plants for shade on the run

    Thank you for your input I chose honeysuckle because I know it grows very well here in Oklahoma and it grows fast. I've read things that say it is safe and things that say it's not and was prepared to yank them if they got interested in them just in case but they don't even look at them or the...

    Safe plants for shade on the run

    I actually considered mullberries but couldn't find any when I went shopping. That will go on the list for next year.

    Safe plants for shade on the run

    I did! I planted honeysuckle, a grape vine (died quickly thanks to my dog digging it out) and clematis. None have been bothered by chickens, ducks or geese surprisingly. The honeysuckle is taking off just how I wanted and climbing right on up.

    Safe plants for shade on the run

    What are some safe plants I can put along the sunny side of the chicken run that will vine or climb up to provide them a little shade in the hotter months? Flowering or non-flowering doesn't really matter but if it attracts some bugs for them to snack on, I'm sure they wouldn't mind one bit.

    Hello :)

    As far as I had heard before having him, they tend to be fairly docile. I think his deal was mostly being raised with the hens. I've read how that can have an effect on their aggressiveness. I think it was just his personality. I do love the breed though and will eventually have another SLW rooster.
