Snort is my first Pot Belly and I love him dearly. He lives inside with the family and goes outside with the dogs all of the time. He sleeps in a crate at night and when I am away but out the rest of the time. He rides with me in my truck and goes with me everywhere. He is so awesome. I...

I have a RIR that is doing the same thing. I have separated her into the nursery and she seems to be getting slowly better. 5 days now. She could hardly stand up. She would wobble and then sit down. The other chickens took to attacking her so I separated her. What is wrong?

They are worth it. They are of great entertainment value. Although, I do not breed so I do not have a rooster. I guess I am still a little gun shy. I just wish my dogs would quit eating the little "chicken treats". My vet told me it is nothing to worry about but Jeeze, their breath really...

Cannot stop. I just got a potbelly for my new house pig. He is awesome.

Dirty blond hair, blue eyes. Half Italian, half Swedish. I am a stoic hothead.

Nothing compares... I was trying to get a feed bag string loose from a roosters feet. I undid the tangle and I put him back on the ground. Then the ungrateful little "ahem" flew up at me and spurred me in the back of the hand. It hurt but I did not think much of it. That night we were out...

I have a Black Sex Link chicken, Agnes. She lays the largest eggs I have ever seen. Is this normal for this breed or is she just "special"? It amazes me that this size egg actually comes out of her. The people I sell eggs to always want the Agnes eggs and giggle like school children when...

I have 13 illegal chickens. We are not allowed to have any kind or fowl or livestock. I do not have any roosters, dead giveaway for more distant neighbors. I find that most of my neighbors love the chickens, have had them for 2 years now with no complaints. ( it also helps to give some eggs...

The only thing that has worked for me is fencing unfortunately. It sure is ugly because I use the orange construction fence so it is easy to zip tie to stakes in the ground, not permanent. However, a vegetable garden is a lot of time, money and is truly a labor of love and I know I would hate...

Funny!

it almost looks like she has a mullet hairdo

Here is a picture of her, no feathers and all

Thanks to all. Glad to be here. It's fun.

I have 4 dogs that get along really well with my chickens. Believe it or not, sometimes my little rat terrier even plays with them. I got the dogs to work this way by putting a chair out in the middle of the yard with a dog on the 12' training leash by themselves. Let them out little by...
