Goldens Are extremely smart! I have been raising them for 11 years.
They are actually 4th on the Smartest Dog Breeds
chart right after Bordie collie, Poodle, & German Shepherd

"The Golden Retriever is the most intelligent and easiest to train of all dog breeds! He learns new commands quicker than any other breed, which makes him very easy to train."




I love Pekins! My favorites among all the ducks I've had since I was a kid (Pekin, Blue and Black Swedish, Welsh Harlequin) have been Pekins. I like them all, but the Pekins just seem to have more personality than the others. My last Pekin figured out that our Golden Retriever was scared of him. The dog would lay down when she saw him coming and look at me like she was saying "help!" while the duck climbed on top of her and grabbed her fur. Golden Retrievers are very sweet, but are NOT the smartest of dog breeds.

Is there anyone here who can give advice/instructions on how to give new chicks to a broody? I have a window of 48 hours from first hatchling to get the chicks back to the farm and under the broody hen. We have three right now, so I'm lucky.
 
Morning all, Happy Thursday/eggs arrive day/lockdown day/hatch day. One more day closer to the weekend.

So I organized and set all the eggs last night, uumm we have NO open bator space at all!!! Like triple craptastic. So we quickly ordered the heating element and other needed parts to arrive this weekend so the new cabinet can be built and put right into use. I have 4 boxes of eggs in transit to us currently, plus all of our daily layers.

QJ, can't wait for your update

Bakin hope the other eggs are doing well this morning

Iain, my fingers are crossed that you update the eggs arrived. I am serious about the reship if they arrive but don't develop well.

Yall were a chatty bunch over night, now wake up everyone!
