    How did YOU train your dog to leave chickens alone?

    Well I am going to try best to stay patient , committed and consistent. I have had family dogs all my life but never a "working" dog so I never imagined how much work it really is to completely train a dog, but I think it will really be worth it for us .

    Black Copper Marans discussion thread

    Maybe that's it? I'm also Im in texas in the middle of a 106 degree heat wave, I keep them in the shade and bring them frozen treats and frozen jugs of water throughout the day but maybe the heat is stalling their growth? It probably doesn't even works like that, I'm just surprised they still...

    Black Copper Marans discussion thread

    Are black copper marans slow to mature. I bought some that were said to be 5 weeks old. That was 3 weeks ago so now they should be 8 weeks . They still aren't completely feathered out and they seem to have only slightly grown a little bigger. I bought amercaunas at 6 weeks old that were about...

    How did YOU train your dog to leave chickens alone?

    Do you think this approach will work with an 11 month old Great Dane. He has killed chickens by rough housing with them 4x in 4 months. I have tried numerous methods to alter this behaviour. 1) taught him to sit, stay, come. Used these commands all over my land, throughout the day and in...

    Raising Guinea Fowl 101

    I I only have 3 guineas, so that sounds like my problem. One is 3 months old and the other two are 1 month old. (My dog got a lot of them in the beginning :/ ) I had no idea 10 was the magic number, that is going to make my husband freak lol. As far as my chickens go, I'm just starting out...

    Raising Guinea Fowl 101

    I bought guineas and bantams at the same time and raised them together in a brooder and then the coop and now the coop and run. They relentlessly pester and harass my new standard sized chickens a hen and two roosters. I have decided to have my guineas live in a fenced area that included trees a...

    Lavender Orpington project ....

    My original plan was to have pure Amercaunas and blue and splash Jersey Giants. My seller for the Giants I had lined up fell through and then amercaunas I bought turned out to be Easter Eggers. So in a fit of dispair I gave up and just started impulse buying. And now here we are 3 Easter Eggers...

    Lavender Orpington project ....

    Just bought this little thing on impulse when I was only supposed to be picking up black copper marans. So fat and cute couldn't help myself. She said it was a lavender Orpington which I had only known buff orpingtons before. The chick is 5 weeks old, I'm guessing pullet but how does it look...

    Peepers is stunning! Do you have any ideas what it was crossed with?

    Easter Egger club!

    Hmmm so maybe mine was crossed with some breed that has combs like that. I had bought them as "Amercaunas" before I really knew what a true Amercauna was. The place I got them from had 10 or so different breeds and so someone must have been a fence hopper, hoping maybe a copper maran so I can...

    Easter Egger club!

    So what's up with this guys comb? It's like squashed at the top instead of straight pea comb line like his buddies who are also pictured? Also I'm pretty sure 2 of my 3 are roosters so maybe this is the one I should get rid of? Already have way too may roosters but they are both so pretty! How...

    The Bantam Thread!

    We made the feeders today! Out of some pvc pipe, you can even see our tools in the background lol. Saw the idea on Pinterest. So much better than our metal feeders that they were kicking all over the place.

    The Bantam Thread!

    My Banty Roo and little hen, my best guess they are some type of old English game perhaps? They are both about 2.5 months old.

    Easter Egger club!

    I thought I was buying Ameracaunas but low and behold I have me some Easter eggers, but they are so unique to look at I'm not really disappointed. Problem is I think I'm certain at least two are Roos, the splash and blue. Perhaps the black /copper is a pullet? They are 10 weeks here. Opinions?

    Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

    Well my dog is a Great Dane, so that fits the 100lb mark. He is only 10 months old so it's showing that he truly hasn't been trained he was just submissive when he was a pup and now he's a stubborn adolescent . I have been reading up on how to train him to be a bird guardian which can allow your...

    Guineas as guards

    I have two guinneas. About 11 weeks old . Almost lost all there fuzz on their heads. When can I trust them to free range? They live in a coop and run with chickens but they are getting so large and I'm sure "cooped up" (*chicken pun ). I know they would rather roost in trees and I have plenty ...

    Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

    She looks exactly like a hen that belongs with my black/red combed Banty Roo! She is as pretty as he is! Sadly I lost most of my flock to the dog yesterday but Mr roo and one other pullet made it. Starting over is the worst , but due to the knew flock size my only two surviving banties are...

    Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

    Me again, owner of what seems to be a rooster of oddities. He's my first chicken ever so I'm learning as I go. No forum has been able to identify him at all. He's becoming more black but still has a few white tips. And yes he has a mottled comb and feet and beak. Most just assume he's just as...
