    Can a dog eat a chick (approx 6 weeks) whole and leave no feathers or blood?

    Ditto on the taste of blood myth............I have fed a raw diet consisting of mostly raw chicken for 14 years to all my dogs and none of my dogs have killed a chicken.........well, other than my post above when the one ATE all my day old chicks but again I know he thought they were little...

    Can a dog eat a chick (approx 6 weeks) whole and leave no feathers or blood?

    Believe me it was horrifying! I thought my husband was going to kill the dog but only threatened. This dog was our most precious pet, he even stood up with us at our wedding and we never went anywhere without him, but he was a terror......killed skunks, everything was bitten 3 times by...

    Can a dog eat a chick (approx 6 weeks) whole and leave no feathers or blood?

    Glad you found your chicks! We had a Jack Russell cross however that would eat whatever it killed. He was the best mouser and just scooped them up and swallowed them whole. Ate a baby bunny one time that was almost half grown. When my chicks were bigger he didn't bother them totally...

    Hawk Problem of a different kind/ need advice

    I have no intention of making a pet out of it or even capturing it for that matter. He had already left the nest yesterday as we saw him on a branch a distance below his nest and I think he would have been fine as the mother would still feed him there. I think during the night between the...

    Hawk Problem of a different kind/ need advice

    Thanks for the tip. I was able to find one around here. I talked to the gal and she said since he really was injured it isn't a real big deal, however if he is still down where I can see him tomorrow to call her and they will try to send someone. He is moving around now that the rain has...

    Hawk Problem of a different kind/ need advice

    Well, I called the nearest office of wildlife conservation here in my town. They said there isn't anything they can do and to just leave it and let nature take its course :( I am sure that with as many of these birds that nest around here this type of thing is going on all over here and all...

    Hawk Problem of a different kind/ need advice

    I have a red tail hawk nest in a large oak tree almost directly over my chicken run :( Been watching it for over 2 months. The babies are now beginning to fledge and yesterday we noticed one about 30 feet below the nest on a branch. He was very wobbly and not able to fly for sure (he was huge...

    Chickens Fav Treats!!!!

    I am a total advocate of feeding raw to my dogs. Have been feeding raw chicken.........necks, wings, legs, quarters etc for 15 years and even raised my purebred corgi show dogs/pups on it. I think the idea on the chicken bones is coming from COOKED chicken bones as they can perforate and cause...

    Potential big problem from above

    This is a big oak tree and sure want it taken down provides shade for my yard and chicken run. I do like the idea of taking down the branch after the nest is empty :)

    Potential big problem from above

    I believe I am going to have a big problem with hawks killing chickens........... We just moved here a few months ago and brought with us our 7 laying hens (which we discovered too late that they are getting too old to lay) I still have them but am planning on getting rid of them. I just...

    Yogurt???

    At less than a week I had been giving them scrambled egg......which they are crazy over. Tried the yogurt and wouldn't touch it, so I mixed it with their egg and now they eat it just fine.

    Spontaneous Dog attack??

    Yes, as I said I agreed with everything you said :) But I bring up the raw feeding making chicken killers because I have been told for years that that is what will make a dog become one and I also give a rebuttal to that. I also agree that dogs with a high prey drive bred into them is sometimes...

    How To Train Your Dog Not To Kill Chickens

    I had a chicken killer years ago and left a dead chicken tied to her collar for DAYS, didn't help one bit. My easiest solution was to rehome her..........

    Spontaneous Dog attack??

    I was mostly responding to the taste of blood and someone mentioned raw feeding. Over the years I have heard 100 times that because I feed my dogs raw chicken they will be chicken killers and I guess I am a little defensive because that isn't true and so I right away bring it up :( I agree...

    Spontaneous Dog attack??

    I totally agree with "chickensrdinos" I have fed my dogs raw chicken for 13 years never feed dog food and have had chickens free ranging for 4 years and my dogs are loose and never have they bothered the chickens. They do not relate the raw chicken they eat with a feathery bird. I think the...
