    Bessie has to go.

    Everyone has their opinions on how to handle situations, and you will need to figure out your threshold there. I know chickens will be chickens, but there is a point at which I am reminded that over 200 million (not thousand, but million) chickens are processed for food daily...

    Dog thread!🐾

    Yes. Puppy. How do I put this nicely... it's wicked smart and never shuts up. Dobermans (puppies included) are quiet, almost stealthy like cats despite their size. This thing is cute as can be but 10 pounds of pure bark.

    OMG I've always owned Dobermans and my kid talked me into a Sheltie and I'm about to have a crashout.

    Free ranging with Kids

    I'm surprised your dogs are not cleaning up the chicken poop for you. It's like candy to most dogs............................... eww.

    Day 22 and nothing…

    Don't beat yourself up- sounds like you had decent success overall. This is why chickens lay so many eggs, because the hatching process can be a bit unpredictable!

    Doberman Appreciation Thread!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi all! This is NOT a sad post, it is a happy one... a celebration of my loyal, loving, silly boy Rexicon (yes, the kid helped name him!) who went off to Dober-Dog Heaven recently. We lost him pretty early, at just under 8 years old- despite no known health issues. I was out walking him one...

    I think there should be bonus points for those of us who voted like 30 days ago and are still very much in contention. ;)

    That is a chicken, I am sure of it.

    Help! My 1yo just ate chicken poop

    Honestly, I would guess your chicken poop is "cleaner" than most processed meat and lunchables kids eat. The biggest concern would be some kind of parasite but most of those will get annihilated in the stomach acids. As others pointed out, we all have stories of our kid ate something...

    White Geese or Swans to scare away Canada Geese?

    Wow, you are full of ideas. I'll just resign to letting them do their thing. Appreciate the insight.

    White Geese or Swans to scare away Canada Geese?

    I would LOVE to, but to go from 4 acres to about 10 acres (which is the next spot I can dam on the property) is almost $40K. Would make for a great pond! Honestly, there is clearly not "easy fix" so I am probably just going to let bygones be bygones and hope what you are saying about it...

    White Geese or Swans to scare away Canada Geese?

    Hi guys, I have a 4-acre pond that is a favorite stopping spot for migrating geese in the Fall and Spring- and although I love nature, the problem here is I get literally hundreds, maybe even thousands of geese. There are so many geese and so much poop that it actually hurts my pond. I get...

    Cockerel or pullet?

    The special-egg mixed breeds can have some wonky features about them. I assume by green egg, you mean olive egger because those are not EE's. So given all that, I'd say you need to wait and see because it could well be a pullet with a wonky comb. You'll know in a few weeks to a month for sure.

    Dead or alive egg?

    You sound quite smart. 1) you get nature and do your research. 2) you "get" your parents. Keep those parents happy! You could probably make a case for a 6-egg incubator. If you live in a city, you could even make a business case to the parents that you will raise birds to sell. ;)
