    Look what Max saved our girls from today... ** graphic pics**

    Most of you know our little 5-month old dog, Max. He's a near Pyr with all the right stuff! Today he did a stellar job of defending the girls from a hawk. I work from home, so I was writing this article when I heard an awful commotion out back in the chicken run. It was simultaneous barking...

    Never again! Never, never, never again! Giving Max a bath....

    Oh my goodness! What a trip! It was 60 degrees here today and we thought it would be a good time to give our teen-age Max, now a little over 4 months old and over 50 lbs, a bath. After all, the boy was getting pretty fragrant. Taking him with us in the car required the vents wide open in OUR...

    Chicken Wisdom

    Since my DH and I have started a mini-farm at the tender age of 73 (DH), we were totally amazed at how many of the old sayings we used that were really from observing your chickens in all their behaviors and different environments. I wonder how many of these "sayings" we can come up with? How...

    LGD Owners - Would you be concerned if...

    We have our little 4-month-old Max who is a super little dog. He stays outside all the time except for 'visits' when we bring him inside the house to play for a short time or take him for a ride in the car. Well, he never complains at all outside - no whining, no crying, no barking unless...

    Why are my chickens eating feathers?

    They're not only eating them, they're plucking them right out of each other's little fluffy parts, if you know what I mean. Every so often, I hear a "squaaawwkkk!" and I know what just happened because I've seen it several times. Is there a reason they are eating the feathers? They are...

    My Welsummer Roo... or Hen?

    Here are three of my Welsummers. They are all exactly the same age. The first two are hens, I'm sure. Now, the third was called a Roo very early but I've since wondered about him/her... mainly because when I look up pics of Welsummer hens, he looks just like them! But, I'd appreciate any...

    Do chickens go brain dead at night?

    Honestly, 4 of my hens went to sleep outside the coop because the door accidentally shut and I tried to get them to go in after dark - and they acted like "are YOU KIDDING ME?" We are not moving from right here, right now. I'm just wondering if they go into a deeper state of sleep than most...

    Serious blood clot in leg....

    Praying Christians, please pray for my DH. Took him to the hospital with severe leg pain and swelling in one leg. Dr. says his condition is very serious - it's a blood clot that they gave him shots in the stomach for. He also has a very heavy chest which they are looking into - says he feels...

    My dog just took out a COON! **graphic**

    I couldn't believe it... we came home to find this nasty critter trying to find a way into the run: But quick as a flash, Max goes for the throat: A few quick shakes and... A few tosses and rolls: It's all over for that coon: R.I.P. you nasty coon:

    Night Creatures

    I'm kind of embarrassed that I don't know this... but are creatures of the night like coyotes, owls, raccoons, and opossums... are they deterred at all by light? Do they prefer the cover of complete darkness to do their dirty deeds?

    LOOK What We Got Today....!!!

    I cannot believe our luck. A shelter called us today with just the dog we've been looking for. This one is a Great Pyrenes/Anatolian Shepherd mix. He is four months old and his name is Max. Our girls (hens) are a little indignant but they'll get over it - especially when he protects them...

    Thunderstorms

    Are chickens traumatized by thunderstorms? We're having a major one here right now and there's a tin roof on the coop. There isn't anything we can do about it with 20 hens and 1 rooster out there... can't bring them all in. But, I just wondered if they get really frightened by sound and...

    Barred rocks?

    We have four of these 'dappled' looking pullets. I thought they were barred rocks, but their legs are dark-skinned on top. Anyone know what they really are?
