I have been searching all over for a mini Appleyard female duck, or any of the bantam breeds. Does anybody in the general Salem, Oregon, area have any available right now? We have 1 who just lost her friend and she is desperately searching!!
I for one have no problem with shooting any strange tree that comes on my property! There are way too many of the things around anyway. Sometimes I even pull young ones up by their roots! Call me heartless or whatever, but that is my opinion on the matter.
That is true. We have a lot of coyotes around here and NO extra cats anymore. There used to be quite a few semi-wild cats around, also hardly any Jack rabbits! I get nervous for our 2 kitties, they come in at night, but sometimes the coyotes are around during the day :( My chickens are locked up...
I have a pair of Aussie Spots and I love them! The little girl duck is so sweet and the drake has gotten such an attitude, but he is so small it is just funny.
I recently brought 2 new hens home, one escaped out into the Christmas tree field which is also coyote land! She was gone all day and I had about given up hope,but then the neighbors spotted her and after a big chase she was finally captured! Dumb chicken. She stays home now just fine.
I never had ducks before, and these little ducks are so cute! I need to get a picture of Dundee chasing our dog, he will spot him from a long ways and fly over to the dog just to chase after him! This is a big dog who is half Border Collie and half Queensland Heeler, he knows he is not to bother...
