I'm in NW Houston. I'm going to have him scanned on Monday for a chip. If he's not tagged then he'll be up for adoption. I have too many dogs lol.
They're good with taters and slaw.
i didnt but my father-in-law next to me had about 12 freeroam. this is out in the country and unfortunatly coyotes or bobcats got them all after about 2 yrs time...
My friends have chickens. One friend in a rural area, and another in an urban area.
I am being told by the GF that I cannot eat the chickens unfortunately...They're good with taters and slaw.
I live at the very outskirts of the city right at the base of the mountains. So we have a ton of coyotes and other wildlife. However, I do not think one would make it in my backyard. Even if one was to get in my neighbors yards, it would still be hard for them to get into my yard. My neighbors are either 10ft below me or 20ft above me. The one and only thing they can do is jump my side yard gate, which I have already built another gate that should solve the problem. Just got to mount it.
Oh, they'll find a way. Both of my friends have dogs and good fencing, it's not enough. Chickens need a pen that is fully secure, including dig-resistant perimeter around the pen. Racoons will dig under fencing and the pen, in a way racoons are possibly a bigger threat than coyotes.
I guess we shall see. I plan on letting them roam the backyard during the day so they will have basically no protection besides being surrounded by a 10ft tall fence. I am about to build them a nice little coup that will have a good size run fenced in and locked at night. Raccoons shouldn't be a problem. They are pretty rare around here, unless seen popping out of the sewers.
We do have red tail hawks around here, lots of them. Plenty of smaller sized falcons as well. The crows actually do a pretty good job of keeping them away though.
I just now saw this - is this Woof Woof still up for grabs?! My Q has room for one more....A dog was on the train tracks behind our house. He wouldn't stop crying and whining until we let him in our yard. I posted his pics and story in the Oak Forest Pet group, but if I can't find his owners in a reasonable amount of time, he'll be up for grabs if anyone is interested.
