    Awesome Video of an Andalusian in the bull pen

    Sunchick, While you might be impressed with the horse's abilities on that video, the bullfighting content is disgusting. If you want to share content that shows off an animal's training and abilities, please find another way of expressing it without subjecting the rest of us to revolting...

    Finally Heard from my son

    My husband is a Sgt in the Marine Corps. On his latest deployment to Iraq (he's been a few times now) there would be periods of up to 6 weeks when I didn't hear from him. It's awful and gut wrenching (and enough to make you want to take up drinking ) but you just have to hope and pray that...

    Rhode Island Reds

    Quote: Their tails grew out so much slower than my pullets, though my pullets are not RIR's, so maybe it was just a breed thing? The RIR roos were almost 7 weeks old when they were rehomed, and by that time their little white faces were completely red, but their tails were still stumpy with...

    Do silkies naturally take....

    Quote: I took this just yesterday. I have three partridge silkies, but won't know the sex of each for a long time. I think that's part of the fun of owning a silkie, the sex-guessing game. Here is another silkie with an Australorp and Americauna, and my dog Fernie keeping watch.

    How to stop a dog?

    Quote: Since it was the neighbor's dog, you might want to have a little chat with them. With my neighbors, I let them know that I would expect monetary compensation if their dogs killed any of my chickens, and that I wouldn't hesitate to shoot any dog that was in the process of attacking. My...

    Do silkies naturally take....

    I'm not a veteran silkie owner, but I have three little guys (or girls, not sure) that are about 6-7 weeks old. I thought it was taking them FOREVER to feather out, compared to my other 16 chickens, but just a few days ago I realized that they ARE feathering out, it just looks so different...

    How to stop a dog?

    It's such a hard call when it comes to dogs and chickens, or dogs and anything that might be susceptible (sp?) to attack. You have to go with your gut, only you know your dog and how it behaves. I have two dogs that I have left unsupervised with my chicks for several weeks now with no ill...

    How do I free range?

    My chickies stayed in the garage up until last week. They are about 6/7 weeks old now, and finally moved into their coop. Before I moved them though, I would put them out in my back yard. I found that they tend to stay in a pretty tight group (there's 12 of them) and in about a 4 hour period...

    Forcing pecking order shakeup?

    I have one GL Wyandotte who is pecking to the point of drawing blood on several of my other 6 wk old chicks. At first I seperated out the one that had been bloodied on her throat and tail, waited until she was healed up a bit, but when I put her back, the GLW raced right on over and started in...

    Chicken names...

    My Marine DH named our pullets Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, all the way to Lima. I might change that as the girls get older and develop more of their own personalities. I have seven extra RIR's, but the one that I think I will keep I named "Little Jerry Seinfeld". (I'm pretty sure Kramer's roo was...

    Vent Picking! Bloody Bum! Isolation/reintroduction questions...Help!

    One of my girls just recently started getting picked on her neck and her tail until she was bloody. When I isolated her, I noticed that she was picking on her tail, so it wasn't just the others. I put BluKote on her neck and tail and she hasn't really messed with it since. (Just be careful...

    I have three Buff girls the same age as yours, and I just love them to pieces. They are so pretty and gentle and incredibly soft! I wish now I had gotten more than just three.

    Sad Kitty Cat Story :(

    Aww, best wishes for your kitty! :aww When I was younger my grandpa had a cat that ran into almost the same problems as yours. Pudge was caught in some farm machinery and lost one of his back legs and his tail. He was the sweetest cat and lived a really long time after his accident. He...
