How intense is your pecking order?

Good is debatable. Overly-curious more like. She sticks her nose places it doesn’t belong. Like snake holes

Funny, NOT SO funny!

I have experience w/ this! A newly adopted pooch, spayed @ the clinic i worked at, came home w/ me same day rather than back to the County Shelter. 1st 2 pics "right after" spay surgery, than the result of non-venomous snake bite to her nose w/ a tear & 2 holes seperate from her nostrils.

These pics were well after the actual bite. She'd already had drugs both IV & oral at the ER vet. I think we were at the clinic for 6 hours or so - waiting to see if she'd "normalize"...

I wish I could say she's more careful now, but... We think she's a Corgi/Pomeranian mix.



A full day & a half after the bite.



20 days after snake bite



And most recent shot of her "boopable" nose w/ her partners



EDIT - added note between pics & to say i have to finish this thread before I add my chicken group bullying comments

My birds generally don’t have many issues with the exceptions of everyone getting fed up with any broody birds, and my Sumatra and my Millie Fleur d’Uccle. The Sumatra would absolutely terrorize the bantam, chasing her around the run, pinning her down and dominance mounting— often pulling out hackle feathers in the process. She would do this to her whilst free-ranging in my half acre yard too. Seek her out or follow her around just to continue this harassment. My bantam would literally scream when she was attacked and I was getting ready to rehome the Sumatra when my bantam suddenly fell ill and passed. I’ll definitely never have another Sumatra again. They’re not good with confinement at all and although I try to free range daily, it’s obvious that they, or mine, at least, are just too inclined towards aggression.

My speckled sussex have calmed down, after 2 years of terrorizing my pekin bantams, and my amberlinks have moved on to assert their dominance with my Chocolate Orpingtons, which doesn’t seem to be working as the orpingtons all end up ganging up on my amberlinks
