Hi ! I thought it would be fun to do a poll on dog reactions to birds! Please select one option per dog you have 👍 if your dogs Demeanor has changed than choose the current and past reaction . Post pictures of your puppies (with birds hopefully in the replys). Have tons of fun ~ Cassie :wee It...
Sorry if I've put this in the wrong forum.
So since we've been having problems with rats, we've only been letting the quails outside during the day, and only in the front yard (rats are out back) until we move to a bigger problem. We keep the front door open to keep an eye on them and put their...

Hello all,
While I was away at school, a neighbors dog got loose and killed three of our birds. We have just lost one to a hawk, now three? Our flock is down to 8...
I do not know the full story (I'll make a reply with more info once I do), but from my understanding, the dog owner came to us...
Good evening yall,
I really hate that most of my recent post have been about grim topics.
I went outside today to find one of our sweet juvenile chickens, killed. This is the risk of free ranging chickens, especially when you don't have a fence. We had planned to put in a fence either before...
From aerial to ground predators, chickens often fall prey to many of these. There are many different things that happen from the most obvious to the least. No matter what, it seems like they're always getting into trouble. But we can limit predator attacks if we know how to prevent them. From...
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...
My neighbor’s dog attacked my chickens. This time none were killed. My rooster, I think, jumped in to protect the hens and lost all of his tail feathers in the fight. There was a lot of painful squawking. Do I need to be treating the area? I don’t see any blood but the area seems to be pretty...
Well, we found our dog chewing something and when we got him to spit it out, it was a baby bunny that he enjoyed partly. We found where he was digging and around it we found five more baby bunnies. Four have survived and we are taking them to a rehabilitation center in the morning. They are...
Post pictures of your mixed breed dogs and I (and/or others) can try to guess them. :D
I’m pretty good with dog breeds so I think I’m usually pretty good at these things and I like guessing haha
If you have a tricky purebred I could try to guess too.
Let’s see those Border Collies!!!
I know there have been other similar threads featuring all herding breeds, etc. and I do love all the herding breeds myself but wanted to create a Border Collie specific one this time as they’re such cool dogs. :love
I didn’t see one specifically for Border...
Sorry, this is long. It requires some background.
BACKGROUND:
I live in Washington State, in an unincorporated rural area 10 miles outside of Vancouver. I live with my boyfriend on a 9 acre property with 2 homes on it. The property is owned by my boyfriend's grandparents. They live in...
I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to ask this, but I wanted to know if you could butcher a chicken, cut head,wings,thighs, legs and breasts. Then remove feathers or skin it and feed the rest of it (the whole carcass without taking guts and stuff out) to a dog raw? I now you can feed the...
