    Dogs Gently Bury Deceased Rabbit. Most Intriguing Behavior.

    So as you know, this story involves a dead rabbit but the reason for telling this story is not to mourn the death of my favorite rabbit; I'm already doing that on my own. First I should introduce my dogs. Nitro is a year old Rottweiler and when I got her at 11 weeks, having never seen small...

    CHICKENS KEEP DYING

    A week ago I found a dead hen in the run. It looked like it had been dead for awhile and the other chickens casually pecked on it. I disposed of it and went on with life. I kept wondering what could've happened to it. I thought maybe a predator could've got in and killed it. And now that I'm...

    Why do my Chickens Roost on the Nesting Box?

    Our chickens seem to hate roosting. Especially the younger ones. And when they do, it's on the perch that's attached to the front of the nesting box. It's not because there isn't enough space. And the nesting boxes are significantly lower than the perches. It's very annoying because there is...

    Duck escaping/Drake ducks

    1. Every morning when I go outside to do chores, Kephir as escaped his pen again. Zephir never does. Their pen is made out of old privacy fence panels. They were cut so the fence would sand maybe 3 feet high. As Jumbo Pekins aren't very great at flying, it didn't expect them to escape. I'm think...
