Nice!
The never ending hatch!

hopefully

A very sweet person sent me a package earlier. It was the one thing that will ensure my devotion. COFFEE!!! Both Starbucks and Kahlua! Aaaaaaaaaaand... a Princess Bride mug. I couldn't ask for a better gift. But it gets better! It was a Mother's Day gift. My heart about broke out of my chest. It was so sweet!!!

so sweet!!!

Wondering... Any one had an aggressive pullet before?

My Svarthona pullet has taken to biting & even jumping at feet, once or twice. Yes, she's a pullet, lol, I know what it sounds like... But unless she's a hen-feathered cockerel with a small comb and an attitude, I don't think so.

It's mainly when I walk past her roost to close the back door that she decides to try and take a bite out of me. Her brother is a sweetie, but evidently she needs to be taught some manners...

i wonder if she is getting ready to lay and then immediately go broody, she sounds like a broody

No, landrace from Sweden.

with game heritage

I just had a run in with a healthy tan mutt as it was trying to take a bite out of one of the cats. I now know where it lives. Blu caught it in the backside with a plastic pellet from an airsoft rifle (doesn't break the skin, but it doesn't feel great either) and it yipped its way home... to a house I can see from the end of my driveway. They let it in the house as it yipped at the back door. I'll be having words with the owner tomorrow about letting their dog roam the neighborhood. Of course, I'm taking Blu with me. And probably the police on speaker. Just in case.

The sucker didn't even run. It just turned around like it wasn't about to bite the cat and started walking off. People really need to think about what their dogs are capable of doing to other animals. My dogs aren't allowed outside without supervision because they like to chase people that run from them.

good luck talking to them, i hope it goes well!

I would like to highly recommend on an EXCELLENT dewormer the FLUBENOL 5%
(Google "FLUBENOL FOR POULTRY ") IT HAVE A VERY BROAD SPECTRUM ACTIVITY AND THE BONUS IS :NO withdrawal time in laying hen!!

Here I can get it for 300 shekls = 85$ for 600 grams and it is sufficient for 1 ton of feed! (0.6 gram per 1 kilo of feed) The treatment is 7 days with it, in the feed.

need to look into this have you seen this @casportpony ?

Finished assisting that early pip and it looks fine.
It was struggling to get out, in a weird position(wrong end pip) and I was concerned about 'gluing' despite the application of CO.
Sure enough edge membrane at edge of pip was glued to chick.

I 'helped' some more after veins had receded.
Added some coconut oil, broke some shell away, cut some membrane.
It got out by itself, but shell/membrane/chick all stuck together in a couple places so had to cut that off.
Chick is in good shape tho, abdomen closed, no more bleeding...dried gunk, oil, and some membrane still stuck. It will probably need some more cleaning up when I move it to brooder.
Today is day 21, only one other pip that I can see....wish they'd step it up!

awesome!! congrats!!

Good evening everyone

It's been a good afternoon.

Hit a milestone with my dog, Heidi. For ages, I have been teaching and correcting her horrible habit of chasing chicks, chickens, ducks and almost killing them. A few months back she almost bit my Ancona roosters head off, as well as my Drake. Well, today I had my 3-week old chicks running around where they pleased. I would never ever do this with Heidi around usually, but she didn't take too much notice of them. I watched them, as I was in the 8-week old chicken coop.

Heidi approached them, and had that playful look in her eyes, as soon as she locked her eyes on them I corrected her and said "LEAVE IT" In a stern voice. Every time she locked eyes, I repeated myself. She listened! She was right next to the chicks, and wasn't attacking them!! I couldn't believe this, I got out of the coop, and told her how good she was and everything. She looked so proud! But then, as the 3-week old chicks follow me everywhere, they followed me when I was with Heidi. They were right under her nose, and she didn't do anything!



Im also head over heals with my mixes right now. Spots, Lacing, they have everything! But Banti has outstanding markings; (dunno if the camera will pick it up all too well)

And the last thing, as I sat down with 8-week old chicks, they all came around me as usual and wanted attention, but, what blew my mind was Jasper, a cockerel, actually climbed into my lap, and fell asleep!! It melted my heart! Especially since he's a cockerel.... And then Popcorn, another cockerel, climbed up onto my back and fell asleep on my shoulder, always full of suprises.

Maybe, hope not.

What would game heritage do differently in terms of aggression to humans? They were bred to not be man fighters, yes?

It's flubendazole, which is in the same family as Safeguard (fenbendazole) and Valbazen (albendazole). It's approved for use in the UK and sold under the name "Flubenvet"
