Excellent ButteCa! Have you been taking care of her? Looks like you are doing a good job of it
Has a Vet been out to look at her? What did Vet say, how is she health wise, sound? Are your kids helping care for her? I think it is so cool you were able to step in and help this girl.
I believe the meaning of that poster is: Do NOT contribute to the OVERPOPULATION of dogs, just visit a few local animal control kennels to see all the dogs that need homes. Too many people breed their dogs for the WRONG purpose. Years ago I had a gorgeous female Chesapeake Retriever, I am...
Are you going to keep all the puppies from this litter?
Are you going to have
EACH and EVERY person that gets one of your pups sign a contract saying that if they can no longer keep the dog for ANY reason, that the dog MUST be returned to you. Are you ready, willing and able to care for 10...
It is not a good idea to get a 5 year old Arab for your 11 year old daughter, ESPECIALLY if its a first horse for all of you. Arabs are like Thoroughbred horses, their bodies are not full mature till 5 years of age. There are planty of good 10 - 15, or even older, more experienced horses...
I've tried my duck eggs fried, hard boiled and scrambled, I cannot tell the difference from my duck eggs and my chicken eggs. Only thing, I do not like hard boiled duck eggs, the whites have a 'grainy' texture, not smooth like chicken eggs.
I have 2 cockatiels, and had one Sun Conure. The Cockatiels are now about 16 years old. The Sun Conure was about 6 months older than the Cockatiels. They lived in the same big flight cage together. Everyone loved spinach, broccoli, apples, oranges, asparagus, celery, etc......
The Conure...
I've been away, been too busy to visit BYC, but I'm back for a minute. Several months ago I had a lame rooster, it was around mid to late December. He gradually started getting worse, so I decided I needed to put him out of his misery. Well, I was too squeemish to wring his neck, or chop his...
I had a Black Austrolorp rooster, he had 8 Black Austrolorp hens, next door pen had a RIR rooster with 6 mixed breed hens. ALL the Black Austrolorp hens flew over the fence to get into the other pen, their rooster was tearing them up! They got fed up with him and moved next door. I thought it...
I searched the forums last night, looking for advice. Saw numerous posts on, "Duck can't walk" and none of them were very encouraging. Yesterday evening one of my ducks was in the pool, while all the rest (9) were out of the pool and on the ground, ready to go, 'night night'. I walked over...
I've 5 KC and 5 WH, all from Metzers. they will all be a year old March 1st. I also have chickens, and just recently allowed the ducks and chickens to get together. They've lived in separate pens and coops that are adjacent. I've 5 chickens also, The Rooster leaves the ducks alone and the...
Where in Texas are you? I'm in N. Calif, zone 7a, and my bees are all tucked in for the winter, have been for about a month now. You may want to see if you can find a keeper in your area, or try: Beesource.com and ask there. Here it's winter time, and, hopefully they don't have any brood...
Mine LOVE to molt every year, usually starting in late August early September all the way into March or April. All of them, all at the same time, 4 Black Austrolorp hens and 1 RIR rooster. This year, for the first time, I put a light on them, a few hours in the evening and a few hours in the...
Kind of funny actually. About 4 or 5 days ago, I quit giving my ducks water and food at night, when they are locked up in the coop. Even though I had their water bucket in a bottom half of a dog kennel, the hay would get soaking wet, and REAl poopy over night. They've started to not lay in...
If you dont have a regular killing cone, Get a traffic cone, turn it upside down and suspend it from a branch or something, put the duck in, head first of course. It' s head will stick out, the cone will hold it's body, so it doesnt flop around, have a pan under neath, slit its throat, blood...
