    Texas

    Does anyone in the Lubbock area have reasonably priced geese for sale (babies, grown or anywhere in between)? I'm just wanting a couple for the front yard, nothing fancy. I can't seem to find any and I really don't want to put an ad up on CL. Thanks for any help!

    Sometimes I get angry!

    Trust me I know those days well. Here is a small joke/story to make it all better (and an idea to try out ) A man came home from work and found his 3 children outside, still in their pyjamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn around garden. The door of his wife's...

    Need some advice, please! *Update- Minor set back*

    Good news! We made her a sling to sit in so she isn't on the ground on her poor little legs all the time and she loves it! The better part of that is that she has started swinging her legs trying to get places so we know that her legs are on the slow road to better. We started her on an...

    Need some advice, please! *Update- Minor set back*

    Amiga, you always make me feel so much better when I have duck troubles! We have no household predators but I would have to find a way to keep our dog away from duckling's behind and poop pad And after you said swing I now have a million ideas about something small and compact enough for...

    Need some advice, please! *Update- Minor set back*

    Well the tub was of no help and she seems to have lost almost, if not all control of her legs. When you lift her up she will only flex her toes but not move her legs at all. She did enjoy sitting in the warm tub and being out of the cold mist that has settled on the area for the last few days...

    Need some advice, please! *Update- Minor set back*

    Will do Amiga! Baths and Apple Cider vinegar are on the agenda now. I always know I can count on you for good ideas and advice to help I have no idea if he could have been injured as I can't see anything at all physically wrong with any part of the leg or foot. That is what makes it so hard...

    Need some advice, please! *Update- Minor set back*

    We had 8 rouen/khaki mixes hatch October 26h and had some issues with daddy and some issues with mamma. Most recently, daddy broke in to the grow out pen and before we caught him he had completely ripped the fuzz off of one of the babies heads and was on top of another trying to mate. They all...

    Anyone on a low budget X-mas this year?

    5 years ago I learned to crochet so I made my nieces and nephews scarves because it was a rough year for me. My brother and his wife got matching hats and so on and so on for my family because it was what I could afford. Times got a bit better but not much so gifts were always along the lines of...

    dog ear infections......

    I know this is an old thread but I have a couple of questions about some of the posts. She tilts her head just slightly more to the right but there is nothing that we can find in her ears. We did recently change her food but we can change it back if this is an allergy. We changed her feed...

    Reintroducing a duckling to mom *Pictures post 7*

    Miss Lydia, we have 8! There were 5 duds in the bunch but that is ok, 8 is a lot at once so 13 would have been the undoing of my sanity, lol. We only wanted one clutch from Olivia because we wanted to have at least 8 ducks as pets for our front yard. So her being a bad mom is kind of the pits...

    Reintroducing a duckling to mom *Pictures post 7*

    Just a quick update on Ducky and they rest of the ducklings. After a couple of introductions Ducky finally went out with his siblings and mom on Saturday. I put him out with the others while mom went for a swim break and he did great! I'm not sure if he really knew or even knows he is a duck...

    Reintroducing a duckling to mom *Pictures post 7*

    I think one of his eyes was damaged because he does not like for you to be on his right side and it seems slightly watery. I have cleaned it and it doesn't appear to have anything in it. But I'l' take a live, partially blind duck over a dead duck any day, it will just add to the unique things I...

    Reintroducing a duckling to mom *Pictures post 7*

    For some reason I just can't find his name I'm not 100% that it's a boy but I just feel like it is but I just can't find his name. I have tried and tried but nothing feels right for him. But still here is "Ducky" This is the damage that his dad did. My drake is now isolated and not happy about...

    Reintroducing a duckling to mom *Pictures post 7*

    Thank you both for your replies. I have a house chicken that just couldn't make it back out with her hatch mates due to the week age difference and she was 1/2 bantam to boot, so I guess a duck tagging along to won't be to much harder. The divider sounds wonderful but with the cold front coming...

    Reintroducing a duckling to mom *Pictures post 7*

    Our first ducklings hatched today and we seem to have a mishap. One of the ducklings was out of the nest shivering with chunks of meat taken out of both sides of his head. He has what looks like only a mohawk of fuzz left with meat exposed on both sides, kind of close to his eyes. I applied an...

    Got flu mist up the nose..now IM SICK

    I'll take the flu thank you! I have had the shot, but not the mist. The shot was a mess! A horrid allergic reaction to who knows what in it, swollen arm, rash and a lot of the nasty side effects. I haven't gotten one in about 7 years and I'm afraid for my daughter to get it because a lot of the...

    Quote: Me too!!! The only thing thing that's missing is a section in the back that can snap off in the back for easy and quick access to the bathroom and snap back on. It doesn't have snaps but it has a zipper. They call it "escape hatch"

    The laziness of people...

    ...your close to go to the bathroom in the cold. Brrrr...... Although, being a girl, I'd still pull them down. Knowing me, I'd still pee on them. *like!* I probably would to Orchid, I would love a real pair if I could find some! It sure does get cold in the winter having to be out with...

    The laziness of people...

    I could see something like a snuggie used in a cold office environment (as long as they are actually working) but my husband's whole family has them and all they ever do is sit on their behinds. They gave me one last Christmas! My husband laughed and asked if I would ever sit still enough to use...
