Ziva will be 25 weeks old on Monday, she loves the chickens. I dont let her in the run because she wants to eat up ALL chicken poop. View attachment 1725804

I thought it was just my dog that was poo-eating. Mine eats the turkey's poo like it was a treat. Makes me wonder why my spouse buys her treats and feeds her off his plate. Clearly she has no taste buds.

Are you going to get the brown leghorns. They are gorgeous!!!

Hey you--How have you been? - I have 5 Red's and 6 Browns on order

It is something they learned from the when the were at the breeders when they were babies. I have done everything under the sun to ensure they have a very good balanced diet, so I know its not that they arnt getting good nutrition. So, every time they need to poop we go out with them and scoop it up right away.

Ziva is now 2yr & 5 mo, Tony is 1yr & 5 mo. Same breeder, same da different mothers. They are great dogs. We have always had Rottweilers. Tony is #6. They are having a hard tome right now, I had been buying Wellness brand Complete Health Adult Deboned Chicken & Oatmeal - BUT Chewy "ran out" I called Wellness and they said that was odd cuz they have plenty. I go through a bag every 11 days, I get 2 bags at a time. Oddly enough the poor dogs have had mush poo since March 1st, which makes me wonder if it was the food.
So on March 21st, before I ran out I had to order Wellness Complete Health Senior Deboned Chicken & Barley, it is most like what they had. I mixed one bag of the first food with one bag of the new food to ease the switch-- they still have mush poo--- Its a good thing I keep canned pumpkin on hand.
so, yesterday I told my husband, I am going to open the other new bag of the senior food and not use the tub of the other one just incase it is the food. So their dinner last evening was the senior food and for desert a soup spoon of pumpkin.
I know it can take 2 to 3 weeks for dogs to adjust to a change in diet.
So I pray we get over this soon,

Why are they so WHITE ? my little leghorns are the most dust-bath-loving babies you'll ever see. They are ALWAYS dirty. (and I keep building them new dust baths because they are SO cute when they are happy)

Tuesday-Do my Bible reading then I am going to scoop under the chicken roost in the coop and fill the feeder, make oatmeal, do dishes, get the dusting, vacuuming, & laundry going, wash the outside of 7 windows, make lunch. then,,, I am not sure, Oh ya make coffee,,, ok, 5a.m. cup #2............................

That's tough. Poor puppies. I hope they settle into the new food quickly.

That's a list, let me tell you. Wow!

All but the windows got done. noon to 2 the windows got bumped by the need to block an area off so the dogs would not be able to it. At 2 I went out and did the watering, it takes about an hour.
3:00 is go get the eggs and set the hens up for the night, that way I dont have to go back out after dinner. When there isnt wind and rain and the temp is 40+ I just leave the coop door fully open. When it is blow 38 out I close the door. When there is wind and rain I prop the door open just enough for the chicken to go in and out as they want. I always start dinner by 4. It was Oak Island night and NCIS, and that was the end of the day.
