Yeah!!! chicks. I have a hatcher in my dinning area and some eggs under a brooder. What? am I doing. Right now I give away eating eggs like crazy to anyone who will take them and still i hatch in the spring. Theres just something about those little pipping eggs that gets me everytime. I have Jubilee orp. eggs this time. Oh.....I want them to hatch sooo bad. I halved them up. some under a hen and some in the hatcher. If I had some blue part English orp. eggs they would go in too, Oh and some more Del. eggs they are due next month and and.

Don't you just love this time of year , just sooo much promise.
 
Oooo, I want to have chicks in a tub! I'm looking forward to the poultry show in Winston this weekend to get some chicks and check out all the awesome birds. Anyone else going?

What time do people start setting up for selling?
 
Wow... Nothing gets your heart rate up like trying to catch a loose chicken for a half hour! Especially when you're competing with an untrained husky.... :th
As a side note: any tips on training a husky? I've got a shock training collar, but misplaced the charger for it. Should I just keep him in his run till I find the cord? Or does someone have another method I can try?
PS. He literally had the chicken in his mouth at one point. Luckily, my son was able to scare the chicken to the other side of the yard, while I put the husky in his run.
 
Just for what it's worth my experience with a husky is don't trust him with any domesticated animal other than another dog. And even then he'll corrupt it. Mine ran off regularly at night and we later found out he had tried to kill almost every kind of animal all around our neighborhood. He broke the neck of a goat but the goat lived, though he went around the rest of his days with his head laying over to one side. He attacked newborn calves, he killed a stray cat in our yard and left it in the path. He started on the chickens when some got out one day so I had prevented them getting out anymore. The goat was actually the last thing im aware of his attacking cause he got shot that night and we never saw him again. Meanwhile he taught my well behaved home loving boxer his wicked ways and caused him to have to spend most of his nights the rest of his life chained up. I considered that husky quite useless and was not saddened in the least when he never came home. He was my husbands dog so I had no say about him or he would have left for some new owners place in a cold northern climate like he preferred, far from folks' livestock. If you're really attached to him I wish you better experiences than I had.

Your husky sounds like a few dachshunds I knew growing up. Anything from a mouse up to horses and cows/ bull were chased by those things. By the way I wouldn't recommend getting between a moving mouse and a dachshund.
