The coop is coming right along and looking really nice....and speaking of Jay, how's the eggs coming along for his chickens?....and does he know yet?

Jay had a weasel or something get most of his chicks so there are only a few left.

That's a real shame....sure hope he gets the danged critter.

Man... Jay and chickens just don't go together too well... Maybe he ought to start raising eagles or something... you know, something that can protect itself? Sorry for his continued poultry losses.

Surely the amount of feed is abt right you use on Thor. Not sure what Southern by choice advised since pm, but no doubt it was accurate. Maybe the vet has a calculation for the breed, age, etc. If you are folliwing guidelines of the farm that bred him, sounds good too.

Thanks Dave - These dogs stay on the sleek side even though they get so big. The farm we got him from are experienced Akbash folks. As for the vet, most of the people that have seen the dog including the vet did one of those "what's an Akbash?"

I've just never had a dog that grew so fast.

A few pictures I took this morning of the dogs and poultry. We were not expecting the integration of free ranging chickens with our dogs to go smoothly and really thought we would have problems (especially with the Aussie) but they just sit and watch. They look like they are ready to spring but they just stay in the down position.
We aren't really sure what the fascination that golf tees have for the turkey but she will make a beeline for the golf cart and take the tees out of the holder every morning when we let them out.

I have to say though that the dogs aren't allowed out unsupervised when the poultry is out so that shows I don't fully trust them.

Ya never know, she might make a great caddie for ya....never lose a tee....

A 'Just Because' picture. The sheep have fully accepted the pup.

I like your 'just because' pic! Pup looks great!

He's almost as big as the sheep, height wise....and will be weight wise before very long. Glad it is going so well for you and Thor....and Maisy, too....
