I must say I'm thankful to not have dealt with one of those yet.

The first thing that springs to mind is perhaps a varient of "the dog killed the chicken so tie the dead chicken to his collar for a week". People will probably think that is cruel, but my father did that to a boxer mix twentysome years ago. Buster still chased the chickens, but he didn't kill any more until he had a dog buddy to go wild with. My father ended up putting her down. I think she was a beagle mix and most people suggest avoiding hunting dog types for around chickens.

Wow, that was long winded, lol. I hope that dose of solitary works on Mr. Rooster. Please keep us up to date on what happens with him.

Good morning all... totally dragging today, I just don't feel like I should be awake if you know what I mean?!

Gotta start work soon, so gotta get the DD up and ready for the babysitter, then afterwork off to the fair grounds to pick up ribbons and such because they gotta be picked up by 6pm or they chuck 'em!

Ok, off to get this last bit of coffee down and dress the wee one!

Oh boy! What kinda hens? Sounds like a successful trip!

Vfem - sorry you're dragging. I know the feeling! Amazingly I'm perky this morning! My 1 year old slept through the night (for the 3rd time ever) last night!!!

Which is good because now we have a day of doctor and vet visits.

But hey, I'm not complaining - life is good this morning!!!

It was a good day! Not a ton of boxes, but they had lots of Polish and silkies, and hens in general. I got a box with one Rhode Island White hen, a box with two Barred Rock hens, and a box with a flop eared bunny!

The hens look very clean and well cared for and look to have come from the same seller. The bunny is adorable and not as skittish as I would have thought. He appears to be young and is comfy in new home already!



Did anyone go and see that BO rooster go for $32.00??? I have an identical one at home and I paid $1.00 for him a few months ago..lol

Had a friend suggest I let him get his butt kicked by another roo, don't wanna do that. Already buried the body of the latest victom. I was thinking what if I trim his spur (broke one off so its a 1/2 inch nub, but the other's a good 3 to 4 inches) and his beak? I have trimmed spurs before because they were so long the bird couldn't walk or they were growing back into the leg, but I don't believe in trimming beaks (accpet for peepers the crooked beak so he can eat, that is just more of shapeing it and making sure it isn't to long) How would I do it and would it even work?
