    Getting a guardian puppy - any chicken<-->dog communicables I need to worry about?

    Welp. I'm insane. Copper's probably getting a little ES brother in May(ish- waiting on a bitch to cycle). I'm getting a black and tan one though, again from a family of dogs that have generations of being raised on a farm and working stock. Copper is the bestest dog that ever existed, and I'm...

    Wait time after ivermectin treatment

    Ivermectin is 100% safe for humans and is used regularly around the world in areas where parasites are common in human populations. It's considered a miracle drug. I wouldn't bother with any withdrawal at all.

    how long can a broody hen be off her eggs?

    It's been in the 50s all day. My hen was off her eggs (about day 12) for a full 9 hours. They were cold to the touch when I found them and returned them. (My mom has dementia and "helped" by collecting eggs today.) Are they goners?

    Ratinator??

    All works for me as expected, it sounds like you have a virus or some sort of browser malware. You'll have to seach Tractor Supply's website for the trap name of this thread.

    Ratinator??

    I am infested this winter. I didn't catch it until we were about 2-3 generations in. It's BAD. In two nights, with two traps, I have hauled out 44 rats. (It would have been 60+, except one of the doors malfunctioned and got stuck open after a massive chonker jumped on it going inbound...

    Getting a guardian puppy - any chicken<-->dog communicables I need to worry about?

    Here's Copper, working the birds. A fox came by this morning, so I asked her to pen them up and figured I'd get a video.

    Getting a guardian puppy - any chicken<-->dog communicables I need to worry about?

    Well, Copper's just over a year old and she's going to be spayed on Monday. Since she works and is very active, I elected to have an ovarian sparing spay done to protect her bone density. The recovery will take a little longer, but should protect her from injury while she's doing her job as...

    Leg out of socket

    He's slooooowly improving. He's making a more full range of walking motion with his leg and putting a tiny bit of weight on it. Appetite is improving, though I have to hold him up to eat a few times a day. Same for drinking. Leg has returned to proper place, but his knee is twice the size it...

    Leg out of socket

    Thanks folks. In these parts, chickens are food only. No vets. I'll see what I can do. I've got him confined at the moment.

    Leg out of socket

    My prize rooster got into a fight with a stall fan and lost. No lacerations, but I think his leg is out of socket. You know how when you eat a drumstick on the top it's round and there's a groove in the big bone that goes in the socket? I can feel that outside of his hip and above it under his...

    Getting a guardian puppy - any chicken<-->dog communicables I need to worry about?

    Well, Copper made it through her first heat with no accidental puppies. So that's good. I have scheduled her spay for August, hopefully she won't come back in before then. I'd really love to breed her, but I just can't fit puppy raising into my life right now. I did find a vet who'd do an...
