I hope nzpouter is right. We recently adopted a Free to good home 11 mo old walker coonhound to live outside and deter the ground predators. He was raised with ducks and chickens. After three weeks here and showing little interest in the chickens we left for Labor day weekend on Friday...

We are gonna replace the two he killed and send him packing. We may try a dog again @ some point but it will be either an older "chicken dog" or a real LGD. We keep them in an elevated coop that is locked tight @ night. We are generally oitside @ dusk n dawn. If something else kills one I wont...

The dog has killed two and injured another. Much to our dismay he will be leaving. As is always the case its your favorites. He will be moving to a stable of hunting dogs.....perhaps that will be more to his liking.

Upon further inspection there are scratches and a second spot on the neck with feathers removed. Going with my gut and dropping all charges against the dog. Plenty of reasonable doubt.

I maintain an inkling of distrust towards all living things. We are all animals. That said, I agree he is bored. With the heat and humidity breaking I will take him on long walk abouts. What I find most compelling is the location of the missing feathers. A golf ball sized spot right in the...

Have had a year old coonhound for just over two weeks. He was raised around chickens and ducks and never gone after any including mine. We have bever witnessed him after our girls. Purpose for getting dog is to deter predators. Flock of six about 24 weeks old. One of the more independent birds...

I too am new @ chickens; however, my research suggests and friends I know personally say it can take weeks or months for new chickens to start laying again once rehomed.

Up and in the yard b4 dawn again. The activity is significant and literally in the yard. I cannot see them only hear them. @least 3 individual birds. I saw without question a GHO run off by crows two weeks ago. This screeching may be something else. I have listened to every screech owl sound on...

They must be juvenile. There are several of them. I have seen one once and it is withou question a GHO. My theory is they are hunting the flying squirells which we have a lot of.

There is a chorus of owls this morning. Three or more. @ Dusk last night as well. They have to know our chickens are here. The girls dont seem to pay any attention to the owl screeching.

You have Roosters.

Citizen 4. Watch it. Its a long game. I am pure sick by the folks that talk about a mean and dangerous Trump while overlooking with ease the pile of bodies in the wake of the clintons. Ask yourself, how many people close to you have swallowed bulleta or flown small aircart nose first into the...

Richmond VA 4 to 5$ a dozen. Three of my 6 new hens are laying now so I am no longer a buyer.

I hear this fella everyday. He is in the woods behind the house. Screaching all morning and sometimes in afternoon.

Duluthralphie makes a great point for all the naysayers. Imagine all those chinese that were constantly harping about a wall that could never be built...alas, there will always be thise who say ya cant. The real challenge isnt building the wall its drowning out the negative noise.

The moment you start to believe that the vote is moot the overlords win (obviously the Democrat primary vote was in fact moot). Government is far too reaching, no doubt. It was assumed that serving the people would be just that, one would serve two maybe eight years and go back to their farm and...

Remove its head.

Those who feel Trump is terrifying must not know much about the Clintons. I suggest you do your homework and stop listening to the hollywood elites, 1% billionairs and media. Sure, Trump says stupid things...he has never killed anyone to my knowledge or put the entire nations security at risk...

I wish I would have kept a solid accounting. The shingles I had laying around, aluminum flashing was in a dumpster @ a job site, window was $10 @ a thrift store. Welded wire, 4x4 treated and outside sheathing were most costly. I guess I have near $650 in it. I used screws everywhere and bought a...

A carpenter I am not. That window will shut tight and I have welded wire tacked down inside. So far the girls have had run of the yard; however, I will be fencing the area below the deck so they can stay there when no one is home.
