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.
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...
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...
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...
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...
Last year I had a flock of 20, that was unfortunately reduced to 1 when a Coyote found a weak point in the run. The 1 is not living with my mother. My partner and decided to get some more birds this year, and we got 8 chicks, and 2 ducklings. Had them for about 3 weeks now, and one of the...
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!
I am planning on moving to Los Lunas New Mexico within 6 months to a year from now. However, I unfortunately cannot seem to find the laws regarding chickens or ducks. Would anyone happen to know any laws/regulations regarding them?
I completely understand where you are coming from. Like I said, every dog is different, and have varying degrees of prey drive. And there are multiple things that go into a dog's behavior. The dog you mention next door has multiple things going for it that causing it behave the way that it is...
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...
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...
