    LGD: seeking advice from experienced owners

    I have been searching for a Livestock Guardian Dog to live with my 2 new Nigerian Dwarf goats (about to get 2 more so 4 total). I was planning on a puppy so I could leash train it (for vet visits) but I have the opportunity to adopt this young man and would like an opinion. He's 1 yr old. 3/4...

    Mass inside egg

    One of my Easter Eggers laid a soft egg that broke. Inside was some blood and this mass. Some background. She had a sinus infection probably about mid August. I helped her through it and vet did give Baytril during that time. No other issues. She's acting completely normal and eating well...

    Good for housing goats?

    I've been wanting goats for a long time. My future plans are to get Nigerian Dwarfs for milking but I don't have the time to dedicate to milking. However, I just got new acreage that is very overgrown and thought this would be a good time to maybe get some wethers as pets and for landscaping...

    2026 FIFA World Cup

    Any soccer (football) fans on BYC? Anyone planning on going to the World Cup?? I'm putting my name in for as many of the lottery options as I can. FIFA makes it so complicated but they can't ruin my fun! FYI.. I am in the US but I'm not exactly expecting the US to do well (especially after...

    Converting pole barn into stalls

    I'm acquiring a property that has been neglected for a while. It has this massive pole barn that I took one look at and decided I want to turn it into an animal barn. Problem is.. I have no idea where to start! I know I need to make sure the structure is strong and patch up the roof. My plan...

    Hen wing dancing at Pullet

    This morning when I was checking on the chickens, I had a pullet squat for me. I reached down to pat her back and one of my hens (she's a year and a half old) wing danced at the squatting pullet. She circled around with one wing dropping and then stopped and bowed up like she was going to spar...

    Pullet being aggressive toward Dog

    This is a weird one. I have a pullet that I always suspected of being a cockerel (only based on personality). She's been bold since day one. Well, several times I've seen it try to spar with my dog when they're out free ranging. My dog Roman is a very good boy and he just ignores all the...

    This chicken is a gluttonous dinosaur

    My favorite thread on BYC is This chicken is not dead. Thank you @janiedoe for starting that one! I was on this other thread discussing gross/disturbing things we've witnessed our chickens eat and I thought this would be another good laugh. (Please let's keep this funny and light- no bad stuff...

    Solved Asking me to confirm a Like?

    Never seen this before! I will say the site has been a little slower than normal for me this morning so it might be on my end but thought I'd share just on case others have this issue.

    Heterochromia in pullet

    I just thought I would share! I have a chick with 2 different colored eyes. One eye is so dark it looks black. The other eye is half black / half hazel. She's 9 weeks old and an Onyx Olive Egger.

    Suspicious Olive Egger

    I've been keeping an eye on this little one from 1 day old based on its personality. Very bold and outgoing. I'm pretty sure he's a cockerel now that he's feathered out but would love other opinions. 7.5 weeks old Olive Egger from Ideal (Welsummer/EE mix, I believe) Supposedly vent sexed at...

    Each corn kernel stolen from ground

    Weird question... I have a vegetable garden that's fenced to keep out deer. We just planted corn a week ago and something has systematically taken every kernel. The weird part is, there is no disturbance to the soil. No signs of digging. Just a single hole where there used to be planted...

    Rain water collection

    I plan on expanding my run a bit and collecting rain water so I don't have to carry gallons a few acres to my coop. I have a general idea of how I want to do it but I'm stuck on one question... what barrel do I use? My main concern is the heat/sunlight in the summer creating mold. I have had...

    Twice now my Ancona laid a cream colored egg...

    Hi! So normally my Ancona lays brilliant white eggs but a couple months ago she laid a single beige egg. Then went back to white. Today she laid another off color. All my other chickens lay brown or blue/green. Plus, I got 10 eggs from all 10 chickens today (whoo hoo!) so it's definitely her...

    First experience with bumblefoot

    Hey y'all, I believe I have a Welsummer pullet with bumblefoot. I've been letting them free range and we had some rain recently so I'm guessing that's what did it. She's one of my biggest girls. After going through BYC, I believe I have a plan. Soak for 10 min in Epsom salt water, spray with...

    Dirty bottom- any concerns?

    I have a Plymouth Barred Rock that has had a perpetual poopy butt. First time I just cleaned her up. Second time just a few days later I cleaned her then trimmed some feathers away. 3rd time I cleaned and trimmed more liberally but she wasn't bare. Then today I go out and she has a messy butt...

    Need recommendations on how-to videos for processing cockerel

    Sad day today. I've made the decision to cull and process my cockerel. He's been increasingly human aggressive and rough during mating to the point he's harming the pullets. He's 9 months old. I've never done this before and read some good articles on BYC with pictures but I'm not confident at...

    Eggnog question

    Hi everyone! I can't find this answer anywhere... I'm attempting my very first attempt at homemade eggnog since I have a surplus of eggs right now. Should I use fresh eggs or cold eggs from my fridge? Also, Is there a secret to separating the yolks? I have a feeling I'm going to really make...

    Hello everyone! I'm making this post for @Easternshore1200 They accidently made an article instead of a post so I'm just copy and pasting it to the proper forum: "Can anyone tell me what breed of chickens they think these are I know there mixed also if the colorful one is a male or not"
