It seems that poultry safe livestock guardian dogs are in high demand yet I never see any trained dogs available.
I'm wondering if that's because the cost of a trained LGD is typically more than most want to pay or have the funds to pay for one.
Hypothetically these dogs would be health tested...
I received 5 Pomeranian Goose eggs off of ebay, (breeder if you're here say hi!)
Three out of the five were not viable early on but the two remaining have internally pipped today, one egg's air cell dropped quite drastically a couple days ago so I have been anticipating it to pip but the other...
I have acquired my emerald gems!
They were weighed and placed in the incubator on 12/10/21, that puts potential hatch dates at 1/28/22 to 2/4/22.
DATA
Temps are stable at 36.2°C / 97.3 °F
Humidity levels are around 26%-28%.
The incubator I am using is a GQF Circulated Air 2370, with analog...
I've been transplanted into a rural neighborhood, a couple chickens and Nigerian goat are two critters that I'd enjoy to have to make it semi bearable...but neighbourhood dogs are a known issue. My question is should I be content with a companion dog to keep these dogs at bay and pray that my...
Got the fro goin on.

This is Duck, he thinks he's a duckling.
Dorking cockerel, I'm already loving them- hoping they're good layers (the pullets anyway).

I'll post more in a while, my laptop is...
Here's the best pictures I could get, I'm pretty sure there's the same bird twice in there too but unsure of which ones, lol.
1- I know he's a definite roo, he's here for comparison.

There are only six chicks total so I'll have to match the birds to the pictures later.
Thanks!
My grandma is looking for a recipe from a tv show that aired on Food Network just a few days ago, she can't remember what show and there are a million recipes for lasagna on the website. She said it only called for half a lb. of ground beef and it had cheddar cheese in it, without ricotta...

White eggs are bleached brown eggs... why didn't someone tell me my chicken had a bleach bottle in her butt?!
The funny thing is you could probably tell people this and they'd believe it!!!
I'm really happy so far with my order from Ideal Poultry. Everyone lived through shipping, I was really nervous because I had never ordered from Ideal and they're in Texas and I'm in Indiana, the temps were perfect the week before but dropped the week of shipping.
I ordered 5 Silver-Gray...
One of my 1yr old br. leghorns had a prolapsed vent last night, I washed the area with warm water and put prep. H on it then pushed it back in. Today she's doing great, she's pooping, eating, drinking, but I feel an egg formed. I'm hoping that she can lay without problems, her eggs have never...
First Roo *The Head Roo*
Roo Number 2 -the other guy
Pullet- she has her neck stretched out, she's a flightly bird so she spazzed when I started blinding her with a camera.
All three are April hatches, all came out of regular brown eggs. All have pale white legs, the roos have orange...

This will be interesting,
I was going to break my broody but the family suggested letting her hatch and have "nature take it's course" no babying, mom will take care of them amongst the 32 chickens, those dotties are pretty tough. So here I am on day 2 still gathering eggs for this chicka, she's...
those BL have turned most of the flock into cuckoo birds, penning up at night is a pain in the butt, I love my older girls they just hop right in when I say. I figured the babies would catch on but since I pen up a few hours before dark they choose to make it as hard as they can by running into...
Ever since the puppy and my 12 year old beagle(peanut) have become buddies, Peanut has been displaying puppy like behavior. For instance a few seconds ago she was tearing up a piece of paper right now she's tossing around a shirt playing with a squeaky toy, she never did that even when she was...
Ohh boy...
So the old beagle wakes me up at 3am... has to go potty, THEN the puppy wakes me up at 5:30 am... has to go potty I stay up with him because he never goes back to sleep in the mornings and he always sleeps better when he gets up early anyway (it's like having a baby).
I sit around on...
You know how hens can "become a roo"? I have two one that crows and "breeds" and the other just "breeds".
I have two 2 month old roos that are trying to take their place as roo, but well the hennyroos are too big for them to stand up to
Would it help if I took my hennyroos away for a while and...
Just the membrane, my girls are 2 1/2 years old. Free range all day put themselves up at night.
What a suprise when I picked up that nasty glob of an "egg", she apparently needs more calcium, but what else? Was this just a flop egg? it took her a while to get it out and it smelled funky, almost...
