The worry is not being around the poultry its the fact she has the incision on her stomach and I would think she should not be laying in dirt with that not healed yet.
What am I suppose to do to let her heal and continue training?
Alright this is a question for the LGD experts.
I have recently got my pyr/anatolian mix spayed and I am keeping her in a crate in my garage during the healing time. This is making me flip out because she was doing
VERY good watching chickens and almost stopped her climbing the fence. Now...
So I was outside and my 4 year old daughter went down to close up the chickens and as she escorted the last hen in the rooster flogged her on the hand and was about to do more damage until she started crying and protecting herself.
This rooster has been recently doing the same to me and my...

Alright I have my lovely experience with Guineas to share and a question or two:
1. I cooped my 6 guineas for about 10 weeks and let one at at time out and now they are let out each morning and weirdly enough they seem to come...
Birds of Prey such as Owls, Hawks and Eagles that are able to spot them from high in the sky are the most common predators of the Weasel, along with Foxes and Snakes. Weasels are also preyed upon by domestic Cats and Dogs in areas where they exist close to Human settlements.

Cherib: That is a great idea as far as the training goes, the breeder literally just let them loose on his property and kept repeating keep them with the stock, bond to stock, stock bond.... you get the picture? So I am very new to this and hard to understand the balance for the dog. She knows...
If you think it is the floor I would lay down some 1/4 or 1/2 inch hardware cloth and cover with soil and stake in with landscaping nails/stakes (u-shaped).... stop anything....
Howdy everyone!!
I have a LGD Puppy that is a little over 3 months old and I am totally losing my mind (including my wife) any help is GREATLY appreciated:
1. So far we have been socializing her with the chickens/guinea fowl supervised daily and she hangs out in the coop with them with us...
This is my first time raising poultry and livestock in general but for my first lessons learned...here they go:
1. You need a larger brooder than you thought you do (don't slack), I ended up making another one just to give the birds more space.
2. You will end up with more birds then you...
1. It always seems like the little white guys are always getting kicked out of the sleeping circle and to make matters worse it is being done by the runt of the litter with Napoleon syndrome, when we pick him up he even kind of freaks out. (he or she who knows?)
Right on thanks for the reply...
Howdy yall... picked me up eight Guinea keets last Sunday and just a few question with the obvious/silly one in the subject line?
1. It always seems like the little white guys are always getting kicked out of the sleeping circle and to make matters worse it is being done by the runt of the...
Thanks! I am hoping so, I am trying to keep them ranging to places under trees instead of the open under the hawks( I am setting up autofeeders with cracked corn and conditioning them at a young age to the noise so they will stay near those when out of the coop. Hoping it works out, otherwise...
Does anyone see any reason that hens would not lay in an area outside of their coop? Example:
If I used some tote containers or buckets for laying boxes in the coop and they get familiar with that as the laying medium. Would it be possible or fathomable to actually start putting one out...
Yes listen to Bryan... I buried mine and live with sand and run off and eventually it will just wear down so now I am putting down the apron on top of that all....so I wasted money and some back energy on that stupid 2 foot trench......
Howdy from Texas!!
I think it is important to know what kind of predator you are dealing with:
1. Where are you located?
2. I would suggest laying some 1x2 welded wire or 18 gauge 1/2 inch wcloth on the ground like a skirt on the run about 2-4 feet away and hammer them down with some...
