Im getting a genetic test done. I'm worried about the two birds she killed but shes been doing really good with our training. I have hope that she will be a good protector of the birds.

She had an accident last night, she was able to open the coop door up and ate a duck out of the pekin coop, very unfortunate. Hopefully the last casualty

I'll look into clicker training. We had been teaching her "sit" and "no" so far with some success in both. I expect that a tie off should come in the mail today and my plan is to tie her off in the yard. The gate will be open so the birds could have access to the dog if they wanted(but they'd be...

Alright what im going to do for now is I'll let her come with me to put the birds up and let them out for the day as well as any chores. She also runs the yard at night where she can see them in the coop. I have a tie out coming in the mail and I should be able to let her outside on the tie off...

This is reassuring. I'll invest in some better toys and for the time being not allow her around the birds without watching her.

We bought her from someone local that had a pair of pyrenees that produced a litter. Both of their dogs dont eat their birds. But we sent a sample in to get the genetics of the dog to see the purity. I think i can dedicate the time to training her

Shes only 3 months old. In retrospect it was definitely too early to allow her to run with them...she just seemed so well behaved.

Unsure if this is the right part of the forum to post in but the title almost says it all. One thing to mention is that we had the dog for about a week and kept her inside with us mostly and then week 2 she went over a whole week spending the daytime while we're at work with the chickens. No...

I think its very possible that a screw or a piece of plastic or something could have gotten into the yard. I find stuff like that all the time

She actually died shortly after i made this post last night. I noticed she was acting off around 745pm and she was dead by 1030. I can probably get food grade charcoal to keep on hand. I'll be at rural king today maybe they'll have it

I will be keeping a close eye out. I think you have to be right.

She was too young to be egg bound. About 3 months

I've had four ducks over the course of a year and a half now with what appears to be the same problem. This is four ducks out of about 15. The first duck died, the second duck appeared to be eggbound and i gave it calcium gluconate which had it lay an egg and she was all better. The third duck...

Maybe I'll be keeping her after all.

Shes approaching 2 years old
