    Unknown Predator

    Unfortunately, the stray dog population is bad here. Probably dogs with no owners. And if they have an owner, there's no way to tell who they belong to. Most dogs have no collar and are not chipped.

    Unknown Predator

    Sorry it's long. If you don't want to read, here's the very short version: 1 chicken dead with no known cause, 1 missing. Some of the live chickens and ducks have saliva on them but no injuries or broken bones. What happened? The full version: Last night, my fiance woke me up at 4:30am and...

    Quail eggs stopped developing, what could be wrong?

    Yes, they are corturnix. And that makes complete sense. Thank you for your reply. I actually bought 12, and none developed at all. Figured I did something wrong, so bought another 12 and this happened. About half the eggs of both clutches were blue. I ended up just getting some chicks, rather...

    Quail eggs stopped developing, what could be wrong?

    My partner and I got 12 quail eggs to hatch, and 6 chicken eggs. Of the quail eggs, all but 1 began to develop, then they all stopped. They haven't been growing for a while, then we realized they had all died. The chicken eggs are still doing perfectly fine, with no issue. We have the chicken...

    Chick missing, another being bullied

    Yeah, they are inside my house currently as it's still too cold for them outside. I was wondering if it was a rat too, as I do have pet rats, however, that would involve the chick getting out of its enclosure, and getting into the rat cage, or a rat getting out, killing a chick, and returning to...

    Los Lunas New Mexico chicken laws?

    I currently live with my mother in another city, about an hour away. My realtor doesn't have any of that info, and I'm buying the property. I know the laws regarding the village directly next to Los Lunas, just not for Los Lunas itself. Thank you though!

    Neighbors Dog is Digging Into My Yard!

    My mom had a problem of her spaniel digging out of the yard. What we ended up doing is burying cinder blocks under the fence, as well as putting cinder blocks on top of the dirt, the more he dug, the more the blocks fell into his hole, and eventually he'd just hit the buried blocks and couldn't...

    Prey Drive - Natural Canine Instinct

    Imagine: a neighbor's cat gets into your yard, and kills one of your birds, what do you do? You may warn the neighbor to keep the cat contained. You may set out a trap, or have other means to keep the cat away. But, do you call the cat aggressive? More then likely not. If a fox, coyote, hawk...

    When to introduce chicks to hens?

    Thank you for your reply. Yeah, I'm not too worried about the ducks, I just want to make sure everyone it safe in the introductions. That's a good idea of having a "safe door." I just may have too look into that. I appreciate it

    When to introduce chicks to hens?

    Depends on the sex. I don't plan on keeping drakes as I know they can seriously harm or kill my hens. If they are female, then yes

    What’s my mutt??

    I say Rotti, German Shepherd mix. I don't see any pit at all in him, but he is adorable. But appearances can be deceiving. If you want to know for sure, try Embark DNA test, they are the most accurate (I even got a test kit for my own dog). Either way, he is super cute. Best of luck to you and...
