I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to ask this, but I wanted to know if you could butcher a chicken, cut head,wings,thighs, legs and breasts. Then remove feathers or skin it and feed the rest of it (the whole carcass without taking guts and stuff out) to a dog raw? I now you can feed the...

Surely we all must dream about various dog breeds and all the dogs we would have if we could, right? That might just be me. :lau :hide But I know that for me personally, I am always researching and dreaming about dog breeds and if I could have every breed of dog, I probably would. :lau :hide I...

I made a trip out to my grandmas house this week and while I was petting her dogs I noticed that one of them has terrible tartar build up on his teeth. My grandma would take him to the vet if she could but she just had surgery and a vet just isn’t a option right now. He is getting old so he...

Hi there. My eight year old German Shepherd loves to eat chicken poop. I let my chickens out to forage for a bit about once a day (the rest of the time they are in their run) - and my dog seeks out any droppings that they have left behind. It is NASTY and I have had a hard time getting her to...

Let me know if video isn't working **Asking for tips/advice--- only from people who have experienced something similar, please** 1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) -- 1 year and 2 months old. Not sure on weight. 2) What is...

Hello everyone! I finally, after a stupid amount of time, have a new puppy in my house. An 18 week aussie shepherd we've dubbed Hermes. His adoption situation reeked of first dog - we adopted him from a couple off of craigslist who bought him from a breeder at 10 weeks and seemed overwhelmed...

What is your preferred method of predator disposition and why? This excludes barrier enhancement and applies to predators who must be dealt with directly either by deterrents or hands-on methods. Do refrain from trying to proselytize others to your method or championing one view or the other...

I have broody hens incubating clutches of eggs in several locations. Dogs know where all the nest are located. Normally the dogs pay little mind other than to walk over and sniff general area before moving on. A different reaction occurs when the chicks are hatching as the dogs cock their...
