The people behind me threw them into the woods, I’m assuming they got tired of them. I feel badly for them and they are now starting to get into my fenced in yard to eat bird seed under the feeder. Problem is I have 2 dogs who don’t like them at all. They’ve made a home in a brush pile and have been there for 2 weeks so it doesn’t look like they’re going anywhere. Any help on what to do for these poor little guys would be appreciated! Thanks

I have three Shitzu`s and of course I am thinking maybe they got their name Shitzu from the bad habbit they have,but seems if only the 2 females do it only.They eat their stuff right after they do it.Sometimes the other female will sit in the back of the other female and as the droppings are falling out she eats it.LMAO…this is a for real question,NO JOKE. Now I live near a farm and there are chickens that come into the yard and do their stuff and the 2 females eat it up like “CRACK”! …..LMAO
Whats going on!? What do I do? Will the chicken Poop make them sick,give them the bird flue or something?I know its gross..lol..but advice is needed. And no i cannot move or feed them spicey food..lol. Thx
We have just finished building our chicken coop, and the outside run is huge and completely secure. I was wondering if I could put a few parakeets or lovebirds in with my chickens, obviously with their own nesting boxes, food source, perches, etc. Would they harass each other? Would they eat each others food and cause a problem? Does anyone know of this ever being done? By the way, I live in Arizona so the weather isn’t a problem. Thanks.

I’m so weird, I save all little things, such as insects, small birds that I feed with my mouth and I want to pick –up all street animals. My dream is, to live on a farm and have lots and lots of animals, pigs, ducks, horses, sheep, cows and chickens and much more! I have the greatest respect for plants! So weird! I even save ants…
For instance, doesn’t poultry (chickens, ducks, etc…) lay eggs but they only hatch if a male fertilizes them? However, does a female chicken mate with a rooster to produce eggs or can you have eggs without a rooster? My male and female cockatiel are ALWAYS breeding and I let her lay 2 clutches back to back but it’s too stressful for her to have another clutch so I’m taking the eggs out (I removed the nest box). However, she continues to lay eggs in her feed dishes. So far, she’s laid 13! I’m worried. SHOULD I REMOVE THE MALE? Would she stop laying eggs ’cause she isn’t breeding or is she like a chicken and will lay eggs regardless but they won’t be fertile? I’m confused! I think a lot of people wonder the same thing about chickens so it’d be nice if someone out there know A LOT about all birds in general. THANKS!
I was wondering since my chicken likes to eat mashed potatoes and bread. I’m not planning to kill him, but hypothetically, lets say if If I HAD to eat him, I’m not say I would, will he taste any different? And will he attack other chickens thinking they taste like unfrozen chicken nuggets?
BTW.. I WASN’t sure what category to put this as, so I put it under birds because putting it inder foods and drinks would make me sound strange.

Hello,
My name is Melissa Bird. For a science project I wish to colour chickens, I’ve been told that to do this you either feed young chickens food coloured water or inject them while they’re still eggs. I’ve seen pictures on the internet of coloured chickens but no one is willing to tell me how this happens, please help!
