She is fine when I just let the chicken free range or when my uncles tturkeys or geese come in my yard. But when things start get a little "rambucsious" I think her instincts kick in and she cant control herself. When the ducks see her they quack and try to fly and that gets her going. I have a hilarious video of a bold turkey that ran up to her. Long story short she was chasing away a flock of 45 turkey and going crazy. I had turkeys in my trees around my house for days after that. One big tom tried to fly into the tree but weighed too much and litterally flew straight into the tree. My dog jumped around like it was a big game. Luckily she didnt actually try to hurt them. Yesterday was the first time she actually picked one up in her mouth! The rest of the time she just tries to play with them. I am worried because whenever she gets a toy with a squeaker in it she makes it her mission to rip the toy apart and get the squeaker. I am scared she is going to try and get the squeaker out of one of my ducks! Clousert you should add yourself to the call duck breeder list 2015.

OMG, my jack russel doesnt the SAME thing with sqeeky toys, just rips them up until he gets that squeeky. The mastiff will he eats them. So no squeekies allow here...

It's been hard but I try to just keep myself busy so I don't think about it so much. Which isn't hard working 50 hrs a week and then coming home to tend to 80+ chickens, 25+ calls, 8 chinchillas, a dog and 7 parrots lol. I miss him a lot and think about how he was always so happy all the time. He was such a lover and loved everyone and everything. He wasn't the smartest book on the shelf but man was he a happy dog and so full of life. The vet thinks he had a stroke and within just a matter of 3 days he was gone. I had to watch the life drain out of him until I couldn't allow him to suffer any longer and the time came to let him go. Holding him while he took his last breath was awful and not something I will ever forget.

Oh, sweetie...I know how you feel. My greyhound Maggie passed from bone cancer just a few months ago. But I was lucky, she lived for five years longer than the vet said she would, and at least we both got to hold our babies as the vet put them peacefully to sleep. He probably had the best life in the world, having chick buddies to play with and a loving owner to dote on him. I wish all doggies could be so lucky!

What kinds of parrots do you keep? I adore parrots so much, but seven of them, wow!

When we had to put our keeshond down, our vet won't allow us in the room. We said our good byes and left. I don't think I could bare to sit there watching them do it..

What do I need to do? I am building my fridge bator so any advice would be great. I am making it according to your websites instructions. The longest part is making a turner that turns a large amount of eggs sideways.

You need to use my Method number TWO. Not the first one, that method will help you a lot. with this Winter weather and the humidity issue you are having. Method Two is the best thing for you right now. In the summertime, you can use Method One.

Aww, keeshonds are such great little dogs! I was lucky, I found a vet that was willing to come to my house to do it so Maggie wasn't freaked out or anything. Her tail was wagging weakly even as the injection was given. I know I should be sad, but I'm just happy I was able to share my life with such a great dog. I bet you and Clousert feel the same about your awesome pooches, too. <3

As for incubating, I'm starting to lose hope of getting Wobs his female companion! @18angovem , I'm hoping that breeder friend of yours pulls through, but it won't be until later in the spring and I'm not too sure he understands what it is I need, even after our 1/2 hour conversation...hehe, old boy southern types sure do ramble a lot. He reminds me of my MIL.
