YO GEORGIANS! :)

[Henthused]

Your Doberlady is very pretty. I have a Doberlady also, Cheyenne. Sweetest and smartest dog I have ever owned. I am not suggesting that your dog would ever do this, but I just want to share my experience with my Dobie, and possibly any dog that is not specifically trained to protect the chickens.
Cheyenne never bothered my chickens when I was around, and the chickens never acted afraid of her. However, 1 of my Black Australorps was missing. Cheyenne brings her to me while I was at the barn. I, in my naive state, thought she found her and wanted to give her back to me. Then, one of my EO's was limping back to the barn, I checked her and she had been attacked, possibly a coyote? Not my Cheyenne! But after Maria healed and I let her back out in the yard, I was in the house and Cheyenne had stayed out longer than usual. Yep, I went looking for her. I heard Maria, and actually saw Cheyenne killing her. So no chickens out when I am not with Cheyenne and I can keep an eye on them. At first I was sooo mad, but to kill the chickens was just a natural instinct and I guess Cheyenne was acting normally. All of this just to say, your Doberlady may never hurt a fly, but be on guard.

I am sorry katsdar. I clicked on the wrong post. Should have been to carcar80

My girl used to "zoom" the birds when she'd run past.. Until my first rooster flogged the hound out of her one day. .. Now she doesn't pay any birds much attention any more. She has always adored the tiny babies but of course doesn't get alone time with them.. Not on purpose at least!

My DH said no more babies for a while, but he forgot to tell the chickens

, my banty mom who just raised 5 is broody again and she thinks she is hiding but I know where she is and I have not looked to see how many she is sitting on but babies are on the way!!!!

Sometimes God has other plans. He's cool like that.

Good to know. I am finally keeping a rooster I really like so far. I hope he'll take care of his girls

Good to know.  I am finally keeping a rooster I really like so far.  I hope he'll take care of his girls:cd

Cheyenne is a beautiful girl too. They would get along well I bet. They have matching ears!

Why? Sick?

He either got hurt trying to get away from other roos or my dog hurt him and then the roos beat him up, anyway I checked for broken bones none found but he couldn't walk and I thought he was getting better but he wouldn't go to his food I had to literally put it under his nose well beak before he would eat or drink and he just was not doing well the last day and laying in his own feces so I thought it better to put the hit out on him.

BOO! I've just been stalking the forum. Work has been beyond busy and things have been a bit chaotic for me.

How are ya Sunshine?

Big hugs!

Hey Moonshine good to hear from you, stay cool and hydrated it's hot out there, oh and I may have to get some more of those BO's not all were hens!!

I am sorry katsdar. I clicked on the wrong post. Should have been to carcar80

FOX UPDATE HE'S BACK and he got one of my silkies the roo well he didn't get to carry it off but it was dead by the time I got to it and my hen from bantyman, boy am I mad

and to top it off my dog was sitting on the back porch, really you couldn't bark, but I got a few shots off at him, I don't think I hit it, but I have a bullet with his name on it. The chickens were raising a ruckus and they were not along the tree line and that is when I saw it, it wasn't red it was the color of the wheat, or could it have been a coyote but it was small and had a bushy tail, so what do you think it was?
