    help! my chicken was murdered!! :-(

    I agree,I also believe that dogs who come with with some sort of trauma require an even larger amount of attention and rehabilitation, which I am not able to provide. I did not choose to bring the dogs home and I would love to rehome them, but I haven't found anybody willing to take them. The...

    please say rooster!

    So I was outside mending the coop and I noticed that my white hen had what appeared to be pointy saddle feathers coming through. I have a poor quality picture that kinda shows one!

    help! my chicken was murdered!! :-(

    Ok here's the story behind the dogs. Only one of them is actually "ours" and I don't think he would've been able to hurt a chicken he's a small Chihuahua. The other two are dogs that my wife has picked up as strays. They prefer the pack and do not socialize with humans at all. They are afraid...

    help! my chicken was murdered!! :-(

    After reading everybody's response, perhaps I'll hold off on getting rid of the dogs. I woke up today and the anger was gone but the grief is still there. My gals feel it too, they haven't stopped calling for her, except now their calls sound less desperate and more sad. I still have some...

    help! my chicken was murdered!! :-(

    thanks. I've made the decision to get rid of the dogs. They eat and produce useless waste while only giving problems. They constantly bark and aren't even loving towards humans. The chickens at the very least have as much personality, eat less, and provide great fertilizer and great eggs. I'm...

    Help! My chicken was murdered by my dogs! :-( they've been getting along for about a week with no problems, they've been sharing the yard and I thought I had gotten to a point where I could trust them.

    please say rooster!

    not in my town. I live in west tx and it might as well be Mexico. Cock fighting culture is prevalent here and its impossible to find any chickens that aren't bred to be aggressive. I have a toddler, so a mean chicken is out of the question. So far I've only found two people with chickens in town...

    please say rooster!

    Okay, so I knew that one of my chickens was still peeping and today I realized it was the white one. So, stupid question: do roosters stop peeping before they start crowing? Also, could this chicken be younger than I thought-i was told "she" was 4-5 months old

    whats the most annoying response you get when people find out you have chickens?

    I feel ya. My wife is setting the limit pretty low for me too :-). I would love a few Easter eggers and a few marans for the green blue and dark dark eggs. As far as buffalo goes, have you tried some of the advise on here? As soon as he learns you're the top "rooster" he should settle down a...
