    September Western Pennsylvania chicken swap

    Driving down the interstate today I heard a weird noise. I looked over at the passenger seat and there was a chic riding shotgun. I told her she shouldn't be sitting there. I guess she understood, because she hopped up onto my arm and rode there until I could find a place to stop.

    September Western Pennsylvania chicken swap

    I will be there! I can bring: mixed breed geese, white runner ducks, buff runner ducks, muscovy ducks-black and white and the current litter of rabbits. I really hope the weather co operates this time!

    In need of second bator!! Under 50 bucks!

    Try LLLReptile supply--They had the best deal out there a few months ago, something like 3/100.00 for LG bators.

    3 Turkeys and a Chicken are driving me CRAZY! (Pic)

    I thought I was looking in my coop at first--I have 2 turkeys 2 geese, 1` chicken and a muscovy duck all piled up. Most of the time the chicken is hidden underneath. One of the turkeys is just LETHAL--she bites my arm and twists! It is so painful, but gloves and long slleeves didn't work so I...

    No neck? Future problems?

    I have a duckling (Call) that doesn't appear to have any neck! Its head is directly on its shoulders. It looks like all the rest of the gang when its resting, because they pull their neck in, but it cannot extend it at all. It is growing all right and can turn its head from side to side and...

    chickens suddenly dying? lost 4 in 2 days! HELP!

    They are probably warm enough. My young ones have been out in really cold weather without any problem. you shouldn't need a light. It sounds as though you are doing evrything right though. If they've been on dirt at your place, but not earlier, they may have picked up something there. I think...

    Blu-Kote Warning

    I have always just gooped on the triple antibiotic ointment. I had a white quail that would always get its head pecked on. I think it got scalped at least twice, but it would get really upset if I tried to separate it from the rest of the birds. Didn't have blu-kote the first time so I used the...

    ~~Crazy 24hr Auction~~

    I'm not explaining things well at all today! I've got 6 adult geese now, 4 Sebastopol and two Shetland. There are 2 ganders, both sebastopol and everyone else is a woman-goose, even though I was told that the Shetlands were a "pair". Technically, they are a pair, in that there are 2 of them, I...

    ~~Crazy 24hr Auction~~

    Yep, as Shelley (in KY) said, I was just going for shipping costs, but you can feel free to bid more! I'll make sure all money goes to a worthy cause, such as feed for poor little goslings. I just had 4 more hatch since yesterday, so I am overrun with goslings now. My husband says we will have...

    ~~Crazy 24hr Auction~~

    I've got 5 goose eggs (plus whatever they lay today/tomorrow) available. These will be Shetland x Sebastopol. Turns out that the pair of Shetlands I have are both female--silly me for trusting an APA judge instead of myself. The shetlands are auto-sexing, so you think I would have realized that...

    Predator ate the eggs! Pic added!

    We use marshmallows for coons. One smart one had to have peanut butter and marshmallows and jelly beans. Usually the marshmallows alone do the trick, though. Good luck!

    Taking care of kittens

    I've raised many cats, even bottle-fed orphans. If you have a question, pm or email me. Generally cats know what to do. The best thing about cats is that they don't mind people looking at their babies, so it is easy to see if they are all right. The only thing you'll want to watch now is that...
