    There’s a bitch in my backyard

    Investing Big Protecting Free-range Chickens

    We are biting off a lot to make life easier for us. We have a good number of animals and at least the potential for predator problems most people have. I'm about to fence in about 6 acres (~1/3 of property) with fencing to contain sheep and goats. It should keep dogs in as well. I've also done a...

    What is an absolute minimum processing for raw dog feeding?

    I will have about 60 birds to process in near future. They will be 3-week old cockerels and 2.5 year old hens - all leghorns and their crosses . Last time I have processed 20 for human food it took too many hours for the meat collected, and even when skinning not plucking. We buy chicken...

    So I’m in the market for a dog that won’t eat my chickens, I’ve been looking at livestock protectors but they are pretty pricey when you get into the larger purebreds. I’ve been looking at mixes like Shollies and purebreds like Akbash but I don’t know what’s the right fit. The chickens have a...
