Wow! Just discovered this thread! I am in Zeeland. I am crazy about my birds, and am even planning next spring's chicks that I want to get! Off to finish "predator proofing" the chicken pen; when I get a chance I'll have to go back and see who is near me!

Those sure are some purty chickens, Candy

Hi Kitty

What kind of chickens do you have?

I am paring down to just Icelandics. I'm near Harrisville close to Huron. Lots of chicken fanciers up here.

Welcome to the thread !

Preciouskitty you have a rottie? I have three and a litter just about ready to go. Puppies are cute but such a pain to clean up after.

Jackie, I am just down the way from you in Holland.

My first dog was a rottie. He was with out a doubt a big lovey. He had only one bad trait, he hated, and I do mean HATED men. The only guys who could go by him were my dad, My gramps, hubby, and two guy friends. He didn't like my bro in laws, FIL, meter men. He never bit any one though, but he'd warn every one he didn't like to stay away. Kids now... Kids could ride on him like a pony, and he would slobber them. You threaten a kid, ANY KID and he'd get so protective. You couldn't be an adult and play chase with a kid cuz he'd get between you and the shrieking kid. He'd put his paws on my shoulders and be eye to eye with me. Best dog. Loyal.

Yep, got a Rottie...and 3 cats!

Puppy, er, Keefe, is 10 yrs old and a SWEETHEART (as long as 1 of us are around OR he knows you well!). My first dog. Got him 5 years ago as a rescue. Definitely will NOT be my last Rottie....

Here is he (all 140lbs of him!). Not the best pix, but all I have handy on the iPad right now!

My rottie is similar. While he doesn't hate men, he is most loyal & protective when it comes to women & children. And he can sense ANY anxiety whatsoever in me....
