    Another dog attack -,-

    Call animal control or fish and game and have them trap it and remove it or just do like everyone else and "hope" it comes up dead and if it does some how just mysteriously die burn it and dont tell anyone.

    Another dog attack -,-

    Time to start killing a dog sounds like to me! I'd probably figure out who's dog is doing it, get proof that the dog is doing it, then charge them for the birds. If that doesn't work either kill the dog or take it to the humain shelter.

    Homemade incubator with automatic turner???

    I'd like to build a incubator with 3 auto turning racks in it and a hatcher in the bottom of the incubator. I have a still air Styrofoam incubator that I've had horrible luck out of. My cousin had a cabinet type incubator last year and we had great hatch rates so I'd love to have one of my own.

    Serious Head Shaking

    You can use 7 dust to treat lice but if your talking about leg mites you can smother their legs in Vaseline and that will smother the mites.
