He will even volunteer to back away and lay next to the bowl peacefully so Belle and Liyla can take turns eating. But, the chicken really did start the battle, she was one determined little feathered creature. And he was just as determined to not have his food taken away, I guess if he doesn't volunteer to share at the communal bowl, the fight is ON. I sure did learn to be careful to not feed the dogs around the chickens. <br /><br />Charade - Yes, the Yorkie may not have postured as much as she would have chomped down on a chicken leg. Howdy is very patient, the Yorkie gets to the point.<br /><br />Linda - Big Mama always surprises me. I never realized how chickens can stand their ground so intensely!<br /><br />Mike - If I would've had a side view of Howdy's snarl, it would have been impressive. His entire upper jaw was curled back and he's got this LONG jaw of teeth that makes his point, pointedly. haha And Howdy is normally very docile during feeding, but since we have little children around frequently, I raised him from a puppy to be good with good. I can take anything from him and he is ok about it. Obviously, he doesn't see the chicken as a food-sharing buddy. I think Howdy might have done some damage to the Big Mama if she kept coming at him so with such ferocity. <br /><br />Lara - the rooster on the duck and all that noise had to make for an unusual scene. It's great that I learned tihs lesson now, before we move to our acreage. I'm sure my lessons will continue and continue.www.FarmLifeLessons.blogspot.comhttp://www.farmlifelessons.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812128414310678524.post-20300423022840661942012-02-24T16:45:42.674-08:002012-02-24T16:45:42.674-08:00I found my little flock has little fear.

They are all fed apart now. Our creatures can shock us & make us laugh.

I think chickens were named wrong. When there's food involved it's every animal for themselves. <br />After the food was given to my Aussie Quigley, no one, not even me, was allowed close to it.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11878152240514975518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812128414310678524.post-49098393051457363902012-02-24T10:25:03.843-08:002012-02-24T10:25:03.843-08:00Glad things turned out well for Big Mama!Glad things turned out well for Big Mama!LindaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203719919661519350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812128414310678524.post-1032835848790572892012-02-24T09:10:08.844-08:002012-02-24T09:10:08.844-08:00This is too funny.

And the chicken was smart enough not to go after the Yorkie's pizza - the outcome might not have been settled in such a friendly manner.Charadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16461603001722068211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812128414310678524.post-34538262425601039212012-02-24T08:39:07.129-08:002012-02-24T08:39:07.129-08:00Lana, that is one bad chicken.

Gypsy guards her food dish selfishly even if it's empty. I've had her lunge at our little dog and she growls and shows her teeth at the little one. So I better keep Bug clear of Gypsy's dish!<br /><br />Maybe you need an "attack chicken" sign in your yard and at your home in the country!Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07741431727993692456noreply@blogger.com
