Thank you! I am fairly new. I don't get on very often but I think this was one of the first things I commented on when you first posted it. (Obviously I'm a dog lover too.) ;)
Lab shepherd is my guess. Black mouth cur? It always cracks me up when people want to tag mutts as something unusual. Seems much more likely that they probably had a mutt mom and a mutt dad. ;)
Good question. I have a couple of new turkeys and a close neighbor on one side. I have a low fence just to keep the chickens forum wandering into his yard but not sure the turkeys will respect that. My neighbor is also one to shoot things, I'm worried he'll mistake them for wild turks. ( or...
I have two five week olds and it is very obvious one is a Tom and one is a hen. I had my suspicions when I got them at a few days old just by size, but now the suspected Tom struts and fans out what tail feathers he has. Pretty funny. I've heard others say it's too early to tell but I will be...

Here are a few pics.
Hi all, just taking a minute to introduce myself. I moved to NH a year ago and I'm loving living away from the hustle and bustle. It was my intention to get chickens when I moved here, and as luck would have it, my house came with two barred rock ladies. I've since expanded a bit with four...
I'd say it's fairly rare that stray pups would be the product of two pure breds. Shepherd looks like it's in there somewhere though, it'll be a bit easier to tell when they're several months old. Regardless, there's nothin' like a mutt! :D
Thinking outside the box. I make stuffed chickens inspired by my flock. (And by stuffed chickens I don't mean the edible kind.). ;)
-couldn't do it without them! :)
