Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

I was conversing with Babymakes6 about my SFH babies - 6 wks old. I'm trying to figure out if I have males or females. I'm going to post some photos in the SFH thread again, but she suggested that I try posting some over here.

So, before I do that, I'm wanting to ask if there is anyone that is willing to take a look if I post a few photos!


PS: Babymakes6 says you all on this thread are the best folks on BYC!
If y'all joined us over at https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/...keeping-thread-ots-welcome/7060#post_10444950 then we'd have double the best folks on BYC!

Sure! I'd love to see and help you sex them.

Okay, I need some puppy raising tips. I haven't raised a pup in 7 years.

All I have done is raise puppies for 4 years! What breed of dog? And how old? I think my border collies were very easy to raise. But I crate trained all my dogs!

What do I need to do to get her to sleep alone at night?

 

[Herducks]

Oh boy the alone at night fun. I raised my pups from birth, which makes it easier. Do you plan on having her sleep in a crate in your room or in another room? I set a crate up in the corner of my bedroom. I would put my pup in the crate with a small treat. He would sometimes whine for a few minutes, but I would completely ignore him. He would quit pretty quickly. If he whined during the night he was let out to go potty but went right back in the crate when we came in. Same concept would work if you leave her in another room, she just might be more persistant about whining because she can't see you.

My dad has a female pit. Socilization is key with any pup but doubly so for pits. Coco was a rescue and she does well 1 on 1 with other dogs but will get aggressive with too many dogs as she feels overwhelmed. She was very aggressive with cats when they got her too, but now she sleeps with them! Just introduce her to as many experiences as you can as early as you can! As soon as she has her shots!

This is CoCo! Yep, she really did try to eat the cats when she first moved in!
