This is Waylon Jennings. He's a bull Mastiff, American Bulldog, Australian shepherd mix. As he chases wild chicken's off from the flock he also loves our birds as his family. Waylon will even walk slowly around them those they don't get upset. He just did that behavior on his own. I showed him...

That works, good idea. I used a mosquito net over my greens planter to keep the green worm out. We also have ratlung disease from slugs and it keeps those out as well and the chickens don't bother jumping up with the net over it. I'm buying a huge roll of bridal tulle someone told me about for...

First day out! They have an entire acre of land to roam and they stay right here by the deck. Never had chicks do this. The last batch went everywhere. Cute Jersey Giants. At least they are safe. But the cat and dog follow them when they wonder. Never lost one to a hawk or mongoose. Lost one...

My days work is don't here in Hawaii. Here's my progress on the general store and apartment. The hens all hopped up to inspect. They must know it's for them. I thought it was cute but Louise was being camera shy so you get her fluff butt. That's the doors leaning up. I don't have hinges till I...

Here's the birds. The others weren't being good models. But to confirm. It's dry pox right? They have normal mouths. Poop is normal, eating normal, energy is also normal. I have them in such a small area, should I just let them out and let the whole flock get it and build immunity? Or keep em...

Okay, should I just let em all go together then?

Looks bad, pictures coming when sun comes up. I have quarantined them was fine two days ago, now six birds have it. I have no money, no food for myself and my disability was shut off this month. Unless there's any ideas what to do I feel it's best to slaughter them as they show signs to stop...

I'll never get hatchery bloodlines again but real breeders only. If nobody wants em, they will be slaughtered and fed to my dog when they come of size.

Four Jersey giants. I brought hatching eggs here in island but they came so small they definitely cannot breed with my monster roos. One came to be a roo. I have too many. Anyone on Big island want a black jersey giant rooster?. These birds refuse treats are extremely flighty and will not...

I grab a few handfuls of pine shavings when it smells and cover the top. I live in Hawaii, it's never cold. I also get nats on composting fruits and vegetables. The pine shavings also stop nats.

I have a huge mix bull Mastiff. He would love to kill anything I stick him on. He leaves my chickens alone because he sees me holding them and loving them. Basically though, some dogs cannot be trained to not chase chickens. It's just a thing. I'm new to chickens but have had well trained...

I love the barn feeding section. I'll make a feed store that looks nothing like the others. I do plan on the end to make a carriage repair shop for my enormous Jersey Giant to have made from all the crooked and warped wood left over. It should make a good laugh. Leroy's carriage repair. I'm...

I got my birds mostly from CL. There was some.jungle fowl around but my dog only allows birds to be here that are mine. And Leroy my jersey giant roo chases anything away the dog doesn't. A guy near me raises fighting roosters but when one gets loose they find Leroy and run. He must look like a...

Since I am extremely poor and grow food because I cannot afford food I let the jungle surround the garden. I wish I could afford a fence. I'm very unsuccessful as rats are all the corn starts this year. I throw door screens over seedlings or pot seeds and keep them on top of junk cars. This...

I started a thread for them and will post progress as I go forward. I'm just finishing coffee then making doors for the general store. The Fluffy Butt General Store.

Beautiful birds. Too many roosters here though

I have Jersey giants now and I don't think you have any. I did Australorps last April and don't remember exactly what they looked like. The one thing for sure, my grown jersey giants and Australorps look exactly the same. The jersey giants are not any good for breeding because they are the...

Now I know the name of the first henhouse for my western town. "The Fluffy Butt Hotel and Saloon"

Oh, sorry. Yes, your right.. I'm so broke I cannot pay attention. Lol

Yup, I'm going to do bird netting. Not only to keep him in but to keep doves out. The wild birds bring mites in. My birds have to dust bath in diatomaceous earth constantly.
