Be sure and tell him that they are great alarms.. if anyone drives up in you drive! They are also great protectors of your farm animals! The only ones they would not get along with are males to male donkey. They do not appreciate competition! This youngun is my granddaughter. Only 11 yrs. They have 1 horse, 3 mules, 5 donkeys (one male {Mr. Walker here}, 2 mom Jennys, and their 2 Jenny offsprungs, ??chickens, 2 boxers, Mr. Walker thinks he has to protect them all. If those boxers come near any of the other animals...He will run them off! But he is a baby doll. If you sit on the end of their trailer...he will lay that huge heavy head of his in your lap to be rubbed!

I know how sad I was when I lost my first small chick and I had only had him for a couple of days! So I can't even imagine your sadness..I'm so sorry. Time is the only thing that cans make it easier...

DH knows all that about the donkeys.....problem is we
have horses.......lots of horses........I would have to trade
off a horse to get a donkey. Lots of mouths to feed here too.
8 cats, 6 dogs, chickens, turkeys, pigeons and grandbabies
who love to raid the kitchen and garden.

Welcome to the new folks!


CoopScoop, you are hilarious!

I think I have a hen trying to prolapse. Ugh. Not something I want to deal with. Also had to drop one of the mastiffs off at the vet this morning (Reilly) after being up with him all night. He hurts to touch, his back end is weak (he's the one that already had knee surgery) and I'm afraid he's injured his back. Thankfully, our vet is also certified in veterinary chiropractic so she'll give his spine a good check-out, as well as looking for other causes. If he's developed spinal problems, though, that's going to be bad. He's not huge as mastiffs go at 170 pounds, but he's still too big to carry in and out for potty breaks, or to use a cart. So I'm looking at some vet bills for dog and maybe chicken...although we'll probably put the hen down if she's prolapsing.

Sure hope Reilly will be okay and it's just a little ouchie he has.
We had 1 prolapse pullet and ended up culling her and had
another that kinda prolapsed but not a complete prolapse.
She has recovered and is back to laying. Hope your hen recovers.

What kind of breeds are "black sexed chicks"? I know that one way to tell the cockrels is the light spot on their heads.. but what breeds do they usually come from? Any idea?
