    The Chicken Plucker?

    I HATE THESE "JAGUAR" ADS!!! THEY ARE GUMMING UP MY COMPUTER SO THAT IT TAKES UP TO 5 MINUTES TO LOAD EACH PAGE! Now that I have that out of my system, I have a small or 'mini' llama who actually eats very little. Perhaps even less than the sheep. He eats with them so it's hard to be...

    The Chicken Plucker?

    Llamas are very social animals and absolutely need the companionship of other animals to do well!!! The good news is that the other animal(s) do not have to be llamas. This is why llamas make such great guard animals, they adopt other species as their family. My own guard llama has only...

    The Chicken Plucker?

    Coyotes can usually be controlled with good fencing. Like 4 foot field fence or welded wire stretched tight, with a strand of barbed wire at the bottom to keep them from digging under, and another strand stretched at the top to discourage jumpers. Add that to a strong coop with a strict...

    The Chicken Plucker?

    Hey Candy, Every one that I've talked to echos Mickeys feelings. It depends on what those 'future options' you mentioned are. If you are thinking along the lines of fiber animals, llamas produce valuable fiber also. Suri llamas especially so. My llama has what's called a "luster gene" so his...

    The Chicken Plucker?

    I have heard that short fleeced llamas don't need shearing, but medium and long fleeced llamas need to be sheared each spring so that they don't get overheated during the summer months. The good part is that the fiber can be quite valuable to hand spinners. Therefore, if your llama has a good...

    The Chicken Plucker?

    Just to Clarify; Asparagus can cause urine to smell strong or even quite foul in some persons, usually those of European descent, I believe. I, being primarily Scottish with some German, am one of those. Others do not have this effect and wouldn't get the joke. I know it has an effect on...

    The Chicken Plucker?

    ANYTHING to save steps!!! Are you fenced in? If so, I still would recomend a llama. They are not always expensive, check craigslist. A female or gelded male will watch over over any livestock, even chickens, like their own babies. But the thing that gets me is the "zone" around the...

    The Chicken Plucker?

    Not making fun of you, just joking! Asparagus is supposed to make 'it' smell stronger, that's all. I figure, if you are giving them something to smell, confuse the heck out of them!!! I've heard of it, but I don't know if it works. It didn't work for me, but maybe that has more to do with...

    If you mark your territory, eat asparagus. Then they'll know you mean business! ~S

    The Chicken Plucker?

    There CAN be coyotes anywhere, even in the city! When we lived in Seattle, there was a huge uproar when coyotes started to approach children in city parks. It really hit the fan when one nipped a child that was walking with his/her mother in one of the parks! Even if you don't have coyotes...
