    my dog KILLED my chicken!!!!!

    Put your dog in a crate or on a chain when you are away, leaving a dog alone with birds nearby isn't usually the greatest idea...

    Not sure if this is the right place to put this

    Couldn't have said it better myself.

    Not sure if this is the right place to put this

    How about paying attention to what your dogs are doing at all times and stop any unwanted activity they may get into. Try a leash, chain or training collar... Don't own animals if you don't want to invest the time into them

    Will Geese Kill Skunks And Other Preditors

    I'd say a goose/gander would only run off a skunk or discourage it. And in my experience geese are only protective when the area that they are nesting in is disturbed, they don't seem to care about other birds welfare, they are only effective when the birds you are trying to protect live within...

    The guinea is a jerk

    I put all of my guineas in the crock pot because of this type of behavior. I believe it is easier on your chickens to house them separately and keep some distance between the two types of birds. I've seen gangs of 6+ guineas gang up on a single bird so getting more may make it worse... Being...

    An attack waiting to happen. Stupid dog!

    Is that your dog in the picture??? I would never let my dog jump up on a cage like that or be in such close proximity to my chickens. By even allowing that type of behavior you are building the dogs drive to harm your birds. My dogs get scolded for so much as looking at one of my chickens for...

    Yep, it will take a bit for them to pair up. Dinner and a movie first

    Big Owls Every Evening

    Try closing your birds in a well built coop each evening and let them out in the morning. It's nice to not even have to consider a predator after dark.

    Cold hardy AND broody choices?

    Consider some Brahmas, I have a few and they are bulletproof in -30f without heat in a dry coop, and they lay fairly well and will also brood chicks for you.

    Getting discouraged - I don't think I want chickens anymore

    Close them up at night and definitely make sure they are behind an electrified fence while on pasture

    Who could stand to butcher their chickens

    "Without death there is no life" we are all part of the cycle, even vegans or vegetarians take lives whether they want to admit it or not. Every living thing on this planet relies on the life cycle. Humans have just become de-sensitized to their natural role in the ecosystem. Do I like to see my...

    How necessary is insulation?

    I'm in MN and I insulated mine, it helps keep it cool in the summer and a bit warmer in the winter, usually if it's -30F outside it's still about 20 to 30 degrees warmer in the coop. I won't use heat except for the heated waterer and I always choose cold hearty birds.

    Flock destroyed

    Sorry to hear that you lost your flock, if you plan on starting over I'd recommend the addition of electric fence if at all possible, it's worked wonders for me over many many years, I run a strand just above the bottom of my fence and another at the top to stop any climbing predators as well...

    Neighbor hates my chickens- will she do them harm?

    Get the surveillance cameras with audio recording put up ASAP, make sure they are in plain view of the nutjob, everyone becomes a completely different person when they know they are on camera. Even if you have to end up rehoming the rooster you should still put up whatever privacy fence that you...
