The outlet that my incubator was plugged into lost power sometime last night. It was working for sure at midnight, and I discovered the problem around 8 A.M. All the eggs were cold when I found out, and the thermometer said the temp was 66°F. I had cotournix quail and chicken eggs in there, all...

Yep! With the exception of one that had a deformed neck, they're all alive and happy!

Well their usps tracking information hasn't changed, so I think they're still at an unidentified sorting facility in Chicago. I tried calling my post office to ask if I can pick them up right when they get there, but no one answered. I know they don't do deliveries on Sunday, but I thought they...

I ordered 25 chicks from Murray Mcmurray hatchery last fall, and they shipped yesterday. I thought they were going to ship on Monday (which would have been nice because it's going to be warm that day), but I checked the order and they're already in Chicago. So now I'm all flustered and worried...

What breed(s) you have: Beagle (hunting line) How Many: 1 How long you have had this breed(s): 12 years Advise or Comments: These dogs love to hunt. If you're against hunting, train them anyway and at least take them to run rabbits every once in a while if you want to make your dog truly happy...

I've never kept one for meat before, but a while back I came across this website. http://www.windridgefarm.us/potbellypigs.htm So it seems like they can be good for meat if they're raised properly.

Letting breeds die out won't solve the problem, because it doesn't address the cause of the problem at all. The cause of the problem is humans, from the useless drug abusing gang members that breed for aggression to the well meaning but incompetent pet owner that doesn't train their dog. If pit...

The TSC that I got my chicks from last year wanted my address. The cashier said it was required so that they could prove that they actually sold the chicks and didn't just dump them.

Congratulations! You probably shouldn't get a buck right away, especially if you're a beginner with goats. They make things way more complicated. I've been researching and planning to get goats for couple years now, but I'm still living at home and Dad isn't sold on the idea. I don't see why, we...

My dog hates lemons, but that's about it.
