they died
This phrase means that it is not wise to have someone with ill intentions or conflicting interests protect something vulnerable. A fox, known for being cunning and sly, would not be trustworthy to guard hens or prey on them. Similarly, wolves, natural predators of sheep, would not be suitable to protect them.
Well, a fox eats hens, right?So then a wolf eats sheep.Well, if they were to guard the object which they do not eat, they would cause that thing more pain by trying to eat it.So if a fox guards a hen, it is going to have a quick death. AS would the sheep if a wolf were to guard it.
Do you mean an Australian shepard? If so, never leave an Australian Shepard alone with sheep. Australians cannot be trusted with sheep. If you mean a German Shepard? then this is a dog, and if properly trained can be left with a flock of sheep permanently to guard them from foxes, wolves etc. Maybe you mean an Austrian shepard? Google will help you there.
I assume you mean "straight run" chicks witch refers to un-sexed, they are not hens they could be rooster or hens.
No, hens can't be mean. Though they could peck you when you touch them while their laying their egg, but it's not there fault, there only trying to protect their egg. Hens are actually great pets :)
If you mean meat, then no.
Brood means to worry. It originally referred to the behaviour of hens sitting on hens to make them hatch. The behaviour of the hens at this time became "broody"--worried.
Do you mean, can a rooster lay an egg? The answer is no. Only hens can lay an egg. Do you mean, will a rooster incubate an egg till it hatches? The answer is no, only hens incubate the eggs. Occasionally a rooster that doesn't know any better will sleep in the nestbox but he is not there to incubate and could actually break and eat the egg instead. Do you mean, will a rooster chick hatch out of an egg? Yes, both roosters and hens come from eggs.
Hühner = chickens, hens
Sheep are animals, they come as males and females. So a female sheep is a sheep that is female.
A court guard is a person who is a guard in court
A wether is a castrated male sheep. A ram is an entire male sheep.
