Probably, but I’m not the one to say Yes. That would be inviting trouble

Cook them?

“I had come home from work on Monday past and found my dog had made a big hole in our chicken fence and killed all our chickens even come in the hen house. He had attenmpted once before but let them out and only mamed one. will he do this again what can I do?”

Sadly, now that he’s done it once he will be inclined to do it again if you get more chickens and he can get at them.

Teach your chicken karate. No, you can’t.
In Indonesia, people build hen house on water (ponds) to keep the chicken safe from hungry predators, while under water, we have a crowd of fish ready to eat the chicken’s waste.

I see that you dropped by my Millie the Hen. I tried everything but eventually found a method that worked, though I’m not sure I would recommend it again.
Once a dog has a taste for fresh chicken on the hoof, so as to speak, they will continue to want the chase, the kill and the reward.
I stuffed the chicken that my dogs killed with hot spices then let them eat it. Perhaps you could rub your chickens with a little jalapeno pepper juice and then let the dog in close proximity…. I don’t think that could have any lasting effect on either the chicken or the dog but it would surely make the dog pay attention!

Knitting a tip.
Mark
I see the reasons that people report blogs for and they vary as you would expect given the number of blogs we have and the various reasons people will sometimes dream up. If you are a spammer though, there is one really important thing you need to remember.
Never ever use a ‘knitting’ tag. If you do your blog will be reported multiple times in a really short amount of time. No other tags has this effect. No other tag seems to have the level of ownership that this one does. Cross them and they’ll shoot you down and boy do they get – rightly – annoyed.Of course we’ll get them on other tags but the Route 1 out of here could well be the foolish decision to use that tag.

This wouldn’t be by way of preparing us for the forums to be shut down entirely, would it? Or are you just making a point about how very much harder you work than any past or present forum volunteers?

If I had not posted the forums posts I would have been asked – so I did.
That I’m working harder:
- so I should, it’s my job
- many users do not use the forums
- many users do not know the forums exist
- many problems cannot be solved there and at that point in time the user knows that, so they just send a support in.Stats are not hidden around here and as I had done a post before on them this does not stand out. It’s also a marker for the future.
Close the forums? No, not planned, not going to happen.

WHY ARE YOU SCARED
I never really minded about all caps in years past. It was annoying trying to read usenet posts in all caps but that was simply because I’m not used to reading in caps.
But now – it really does feel like someone is shouting. I get the OCCASIONAL one where the word is in caps FOR EFFECT and I can understand that even though I don’t much like it. I can envision them hammering the keys just that bit harder as it to really make the point.And sometimes it’s not just all caps, it’s a regular enquiry. No anger, no frustration, just a question. In great big letters. When I’ve replied I have sometimes pointed out that ALL CAPS is considered to be like shouting (MY FRIENDS NEVER SAID THAT) but I have yet to ask them to check their keyboard for a broken key. Hopefully I never do of course.

IMO typing in capital letters is SHOUTING! And, it does seem that many young people in cyberspace frequently SHOUT or use txtspk. Both annoy me.

Mark, can you email me please?

Maybe there could be some setting introduced for WP where it will check the the percentage of uppercase vs lowercase letters and reject thos with too many uppercase letters.
This way, you won’t have comments being rejected because a few words are in caps or being completely accepted because there’s one or two letters in lowercase whereas the rest of the message is in allcaps.
I know most people aren’t idiots, but the one or two really get to me. I can imagine what that must be on a daily basis.
