Hi!!! Anyone from Harvest homes in Northlake Tx. I heard we had some underground chicken lovers. Thank you

Greetings from a "new" Texan. Titus County, Mount Pleasant area here. Closed on my place here in early October and slowly getting settled in. No animals yet aside from the LGD. Have to update fencing and build structures, including a new coop. Previously in Colorado on the front range I had several breeds and kept them separated. Left them all behind with the new owner up there to start fresh down here.

Of the breeds I had I am only for sure replacing one and that was my New Hampshires. I think this time around I'm going to get a whole mix of lawn ornament colors and just let them all do as they will. The coop this time around will NOT be anywhere near as extravagant as the ones I built in CO. Going to dupe post this on the East Texas thread since that's where I'm geographically located. Glad to be down here with y'all.

Good luck with your new place. What breed is you LGD?

Howdy! I'm in the bryan/colleg station area! I have 5 production red chicks.

I'm not but I've got to ask how did you come up with the name 'coyotesmommy?'

I had a pomeranian and her name was Coyote..so it made a easy name to remember.

I love it. We've been having Coyote problems here so I grimace at the word. Now I can have better thoughts of it

Thanks

He's 1/2 Great Pyrenees and 1/2 Anatolian Shepard. He has the large Pyr head and long haird ruff, and the general Toli build... long, tall, lean.

edit to correct 1/12 to 1/2...

Is that him in your avatar? He's beautiful.

Yes, That's Mel (short for Mellow) in my avatar... just re-read my post...he's not 1/12th... He's 1/2... 50/50 each.

I didn't even notice the 12 and I read it as 50/50, lol. Have you had him since he was a puppy?

I have had bad luck with the last 4 Great Pyrenees that we've had. They were rescues and they just would not stay home. I honestly think it was because they were over 4 mos. old when we got them and didn't fully bond. The last one was Pyr/Akbash. We are getting two Akbash pups next month

Duke, an Anatolian Lab mix, is my avatar. He was adopted as an adult. He was found abandoned as a puppy and turned over to our vet who kept him at the clinic in one of their cages while trying to find him a home...it took over a year. People were afraid that his mix would make him useless as a guard dog. We took one of our other dogs in for his shots and they brought him out to show us. At that point he was about 90 pounds and pretty much the height he is now. He took one look at me, came over and put his front feet on my shoulders, pressed his face against my cheek and it was love at first sight for both of us. We have had him now for three years and he has never left my side. He sleeps at the foot of my bed and will sit looking out the window if I leave until I get back.

We have 72 birds (chickens, ducks and geese) and live out where there are raccoons, coyotes, and all sorts of other critters that would love a free poultry dinner. Duke keeps his eye on things and if there is ever anything that comes around he does the Anatolian warning growl which shakes the trees. Usually whatever it was takes off but the few times that they didn't Duke will charge them barking and growling. If they still stay around then he lets me know it is time to get out the gun.

Duke is not only a good guard dog but is my best friend.
