    Hello! I’ll start off by saying this might be long-winded!:lol:Sorry in advance! So, I’ve had a Great Pyrenees mix for about 5 or 6 years now (that would put her at either 6 or 7 years old). Her name is Kimper and I trained her to guard my chickens when I adopted her. She’s done a great job...

    I Have a Broody Hen!!

    I went on a trip for a week and when I came back my polish hen, Pom-Pom, was sitting in her favorite nest box! She's has official been sitting for 5 days and nights so I think it's safe to say she's broody. And boy, is she mean! I had read that broodys were often protective over their eggs but I...
