No apologies needed! Thanks you for your good sense of humor regarding the request!hawksnest wrote:Sorry Judith! I guess I take direction about as well as our dog.
I don't blame my brindles for the ducks demise. I fear a drought left them with not enough water to out swim the predators, and I did not have a coop to put them up in at night. No more ducks until I can keep them safe at all times.Sorry to hear about your ducks. I loved our ducks. We had a cayuga and a orpington/cayuga mix. When our first duck died, the other duck started acting just like a chicken. Do you have horses? It looks like you are in a stable in that one pic. How do your dogs do around them? We boarded horses for several years when we first moved to the farm. When the weeds took over our pasture, we realized we had no idea how to manage pasture and had to start over, that's when we decided to try the veggie farming. It's been great so far!
Yes, that is a horse barn pic.
Most dogs are good with it. Some need..uh...guidance. My mare will offer guidance if needed 
but that's not how I want the interaction to take place. I hear you on pasture management. Overgrazing happens easily. There is no such topic. I will run it by the owner and other mods, and see what they say. So far, I believe topics would fit under 'behavior' but let me get some feedback from them on it too, before I open my mouth.Another question for you as a moderator: is there a forum topic thread for hobby farm owners and the chicken problem? or a cat problem? If not, can one be created? I would be willing to document and share my experience working with Copper through the assistance with Bryan Pulliam's video. (stopchickenkillerdogs.com) Our local trainer http://www.warrensdogstop.com has agreed to learn the system and work with us. I am cautiously optimistic and my kids are happy. After Copper killed our last bunch of chickens and our beloved duck Oiva, I was ready to take him back to the Humane Society.
