Adeniyi9462:
I just found out recently that my broilers ( are making strange sound like cough, what can I use for them and hope the cough won't harm them?

Thanks in advance

Coughs and wheezing are quite deadly, pls consult a vet
Severe cases might result in suffocation/death

I once overlooked it back then it was new to me too

Sammech:
My neighbors are seriously complaining

Thing is almost every dog owner is facing that issue (neighbor’s complaining) luckily for me I don’t live in a rented apartment but still even with the fact that I raise my dogs on private property; there’s hate everywhere around us but I don’t give a damn really.....Dogs especially the type you got are not meant to stay quiet/mute (even when they mature security-conscious dogs rely solely on their barks to fend off intruders/strangers) so in your case you really can’t help it, it’s either you live with the complaint or you simply take the dog out of that premises.
A similar incident happened to a friend of mine she happens to be a student living in a hostel,just recently she brought an Eskimo pup to her hostel and since then she’s been the talk of the block; until she returned the pup when they threatened to call a meeting with the landlord.

Sammech:
Immediately it enters the cage, it starts crying and it will do it non stop. I got the chains too this morning but its not comfortable, still crying

You’ve got to learn how to ignore when your attention is not really needed or else you end up with a spoilt pup....(I hope you get what I mean)
It is natural for them to whine at that age but sometimes it’s best to ignore this as long as the pup is safe because if it notice you keep running over anytime it whines trust me it’ll keep doing it even till adulthood just to get your attention.

47. BUNYIP

The bunyip is a creature from the aboriginal mythology of southeastern Australia, said to lurk in swamps, billabongs, creeks, riverbeds, and waterholes.
The bunyips are presumably described as seen by witnesses to resemble seals or swimming dogs, and about 20% of the sightings are of long-necked creatures with small heads; the remaining descriptions are ambiguous beyond categorisation. The seal-dog variety is most often described as being between 4 and 6 feet long with a shaggy black or brown coat. Legends tell of a creature with round heads resembling a bulldog, prominent ears, no tail, and whiskers like a seal or otter. The long-necked variety is allegedly between 5 and 15 feet long, and is said to have black or brown fur, large ears, small tusks, a head like a horse or emu, an elongated, maned neck about three feet long and with many folds of skin, and a horse-like tail. The bunyip has been described by natives as amphibious, nocturnal, and inhabiting lakes, rivers, and swamps. Bunyips, according to myths can swim swiftly with fins or flippers, have a loud roaring call, and feed on crayfish, though some legends portray them as bloodthirsty predators of humans, particularly women and children. Bunyip eggs areknown to be laid in platypus nests.
The bunyip appears in Ngarrindjeri dreaming as a water spirit called the Mulyawonk, which would get anyone who took more than their fair share of fish from the waterways or take children if they got too close to the water.

Just a friendly reminder, we still have foreign ducks in stock

I could not find anything better and won't try inbreed or step down low, I already have an idea what the puppy will turn out to be, so I always make it clear. But better still if you have a solid male and around my location (Calabar) please drop u contact I will locate you for next time...

I don't like being judgy and I'm not judging you either (don't quote me wrong) but that's not a good excuse sir, you don't cross a dog for crossing sake there should be sth you're trying to achieve at the end of the day (don't mind me but from what I deducted from your explanation even if it was a Rottweiler that was available you would've opt for it)
My point is its not just about crossing, it's more about the results.Breeding should be intentional not coincidental.
I hope your puppies come out fine (Do post pics of their development)

Maxitomxane:
So that’s what it’s called... When I was little, I called them vulture chickens..

Lol almost everyone did
The original breed is called TRANSLYVANIA/TURKEN CHICKEN while this ones (HAP-2 TURKEN) are improvised strains of the original breed...much bigger than the former

The HAP-2 turken breed is a breed of chicken bred from the original Romanian Translyvania chicken known to be well adapted to harsh conditions, they are capable of withstanding a high level of heat and they are good source of meat and produce eggs all year round.
The HAP-2 TURKEN breed happens to be in two strains
The broiler strain and the layer strain

The broiler strain was derived by crossing the red Transylvania chicken with broiler chickens resulting in a much more bigger strain of birds in terms of meat and bigger eggs slightly bigger than that of a duck/turkey.

The layer strain was achieved by crossing the red/brown Transylvania with black and brown-sttiped arco layers.The resulting offsprings produce more eggs (n terms of quantity and size) compared to the parent stock although the size of the eggs cannot be compared to that of the broiler strain.

Hi guys, so today on a visit to HAP FARMS I was opportuned to see the legendary HAP-2 TURKEN CHICKEN in a bid to widen my knowledge of the new breed of chicken.
The HAP-2 turken breed is an improved breed of chicken bred from the original Romanian Translyvania chicken known to be well adapted to harsh conditions, they are capable of withstanding a high level of heat and they are good source of meat and produce eggs all year round.

At the end of the day, I couldn't help but fall in love with the size of this birdsa much that i had to get some for myself

NOTE:The HAP-2 Turken chicks were developed by HAP FARMS and they're also into many other livestock breeding programs including hyla rabbits breeding program, Pure strain Turken chicken program, Broiler breeding programs and also Fish farming.

(Below are some pictures I took while on the farm, I didn't take much as I was so lost in the wonderful creatures on the farm)

45. GRINDYLOW

Grindylows are supernatural creatures that appear in the folklore of England, most notably the Lancaster area. They are diminutive humans with scaly skin, a greenish complexion, sharp claws and teeth and long, wiry arms with lengthy fingers at the end. They dwell in ponds and marshes waiting for children to come by. When they spot some children they grab them with their shockingly strong grip and drag them under the surface of the waters. Grindylows have been used as shadowy figures to frighten children away from pools, marshes or ponds where they could drown.

44. BOWTRUCKLE

The Bowtruckle is a hand-sized, insect-eating, tree dwelling magical beast with long sharp fingers (two on each hand), brown eyes, and a general appearance of a flat-faced stick figure made of bark and twigs, which served well as camouflage in its natural habitat.They are immensely difficult to spot.
The Bowtruckle exists in western England, southern Germany, and certain Scandinavian forests. Bowtruckles served as tree guardians for their home tree, which was usually a tree whose wood was of wand quality (such as a Wiggentree). The twig-like fingers were well adapted for digging out wood lice in trees and could also be used as a weapon against a foe when aimed at the eyes.
A group of Bowtruckles was called a branch.

It was generally a peaceful creature, but it may attempt to gouge out an attacker's eyes if anything threatened its tree or itself, and was adept at dodging most types of charms. In order to take leaves or wood from a Bowtruckle's tree one would have to offer it wood lice or fairy eggs as a distraction

43. Hippalectryon
A hippalectryon is a hybrid creature of Ancient Greek folklore, half-horse (front) and half-rooster (hind), including the tail, wings and hind legs. Its colour varies between yellow and reddish. Mostly described as a yellow-feathered, awkward-looking creature. The appearance of the creature is consistent amongst the known ancient artistic drawings.It involves a horse front part, including the head, withers and the front legs; the hind part is that of a rooster, including the wings, tail and legs.

ceevee2003:
I got this new gsd puppy that just turned 6weeks old. The thing hardly rests unless isolated. Once it is free or around family members, it can't stay one place. It plays, bites at things, runs around, etc. I am thinking this will make training difficult because it will be hard to get him to concentrate. On the other hand, I am wondering if this is a sign that the dog will grow to be an agile security dog which is what I really want. Any opinion?

Are you kidding me?!
Your dog is A’ okay
That trait is so typical of a Gsd pup
