    Komondor for LGD???

    I am considering a komondor for a livestock guardian dog to help protect the chickens as well as goats, etc. Has anyone had experience with this breed in regard to poultry? Do you recommend a male or female?

    Absolute BEST protection for chickens?

    First, your statement " If you really are a wildlife biologist you would understand that trapping is necessary" is offensive. If you want me to scan a copy of my degrees to post then I would be more than happy to. Second, trapping is not a necessity. Predators will always return so what are you...

    Thank you for the welcome and the reply! I researched the slipped tendon previously and the back of his hock was not flat. A couple of days ago he was up trying to stand and putting some weight on it but I think he pushed it to far. Yesterday and today it is even more swollen than before from...

    Turkey poult with a swollen hock joint and foot

    We just received a shipment of various pullets and a couple of turkey poults. I noticed the second day that one of the turkeys wasn't putting weight on one leg, so when I inspected him I noticed his hock and foot is swollen. I have separated him, put him in an area where his movement is...
