    One girl left after a big-dog massacre - I'm afraid she's lonely...

    She is 3 years old and lived a happy life with her 5 flock mates. She was cut on her back near her tail, the others were mauled and killed. During the day I put her in a 4x8 tractor run and will continue do that until I have a new 5 or 6 foot fence built - which may take as much as a month...

    Need help with Ring Neck Dove.

    I was left with one ring neck dove after someone passed away. I have no experience with them. He has not been DNA sexed but due to not laying eggs I’m assuming it’s male. Plus his behavior indicates male. I have read that they should be kept in pairs? I don’t know if he’s ever had a friend or...
