    A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

    This guy was so fat well fed, that I don't think he was on the inner property for food. Think he was needing drinking water from the tubs that are left out by the house. Normally all wild life stay away because of the dogs. Wild life over the years test the outer boundaries or just crossing...

    Livestock dogs to guard chickens and turkeys?

    Not all lgds or dogs in general alert on aerial predators. Will say learning comes from a chain reaction. Birds fly over, shadow across the ground, the birds set off an alarm and the dogs spring into action and connect all the details of the event to memory. The easiest one is the flapping of...

    Free Ranging

    my favorite thing to do is add earth worms (helps break up our clay soil) I've dug up around our barns and where I have placed hay bales and thrown earth worms in there. I also like to get tons of crickets and release them in the barn and yard area. It pays back naturally over time.

    alternitive suggestion: Arnica, for pain and trama. I have a homepathy first aid kit 30cc and 200cc, it's tiny little beads easy to put in the birds and fowls mouth to dislove. Also many choices for making teas from supportive herbs. Anything in powder form can be mixed in a dab of raw...

    Daggum Wild Birds!

    interesting subject for me. My open hay barn has a feeding/watering station in it to encourage my birds/fowl to roam and graze more around the property. It attracted a huge constant gathering of local wild birds into the barn area and rafters pooping on everything. Then a smaller hawk...

    Dog thread!🐾

    yes my Caucasians took to watching over and staying with the grazers on their own. One cool story to share is looking out my back door and seeing my female CO laying out towards the back yard fence. Odd, but ok. But she never moved over hours, so I walked out to her to realize the fence panel...

    Dog thread!🐾

    just the two presa's and my senior male Caucasian. I like a matched team of lgd and general farm dog type breeds. Loved my past Cane Corso , not happy with the current breeding fad so I went with the presa. I actually like the presa better . Presa is an intense power house, yet there is a...
