Anyone have luck catching a feral chicken?? UPDATE: Rooster caught, no hen

[TexasSam]

Mine love lizards, frogs and mice.

Frogs are definitely the big ticket item though. JEEZ ! What a racket they make playing keep away with a big fat frog!
But I gotta draw the line at rats.
I just hate them.

Their yummy so my chickens think

(I'm a dirty rotten crossposter and I'm so sorry, but I'm really thrilled! I know you will share my joy, lol. I got my first egg today! And it's a little tiny egg, that is a normal-sized can of Coors for scale. YAAAAY!!!!!!!! I Am the Egg (wo)Man, coocoocachoo!)View attachment 1180545

Can you tell how happy I am for you?

Keep an eye out, and give her places in corners to hide. There will always be one who is last in the pecking order. If they draw blood, you will have to decide if you need to take her out.

They don't mess with her in the coop in fact they sleep right next to her all night but when she comes out of the coop the rooster tries to mate and the queen jumps her

Wishing the best outcome for your dog.

Cover up cake, with cutout decorations. Technically, it really is cheating.

Pretty darn good for a cheater.

(I had no idea one could cheat at making a cake )

Is she a new addition? (I don't remember and I don't want to look through 10's of pages to find out) Maybe you could set her up in a dog kennel inside the run with her own food and water and put her back in the coop with the others at night and put her back in the kennel during the day if they start bothering her. The "look no touch" method of introduction has worked very well for me.

Sounds pretty normal to me. If she starts to bleed, that is when it's a problem. One day, my Orpingtons decided to totally eat the tail off of the lowest bird in the order. I took it out, it always had been the runt, nursed it back to health, (tail never grew back). When I put it back in with them, I went to work, came home and they had killed that little runt. Got to watch close!

This is what I use. I have small bags that I tint with different colors and my son likes to use it like Playdoh and then eat it. It taste pretty good too. I use a small paint brush and dust on the shimmer.

Way too high tech for me.

She too smart is the problem! She sees me getting stuff ready for her and goes under the dining room table. Then she lays on what I need to treat. She's heavy and STRONG!

I do my best to soothe her and stay calm. If I get flustered and frustrated she takes advantage and cooperates even less.

Thanks @pitbullmomma. I live in one of the most expensive areas to own a pet in Ohio. When my Chihuahua needed a dental and a cat needed to tooth pulled I drove 2 hrs south to another vet. I got the dental, teeth pulled on dog and cat. Shots for dog and brought monster dog along to get shots and testing for her too. It was still cheaper then getting just the dental at my usual vet. And they kept monster dog for me so I could go sight seeing!

Lots of pets, no medicine, if you have the time! Poor baby.Even big dogs still think they are babies.
