I see sad things on a regular basis here at the shelter. We're lucky because we're not so "inner-city" that we get the extremes all the time. A puppy came in as a stray last week and her condition is appaling! How could anyone see this and not treat her? the pup is a big girl. At first we...

I run a 4H group. Every year I get a little more educated about my chickens. I really need to teach my kids about a good dewormer that is cheap and easy to use. does anyone have suggestions or advice? I also heard that before we take our birds to shows we should wash them in dog flea shampoo...

I work at a great shelter overall. We are very fortunate to not have to put down animals due to time contraints. We often take pets from other shelters that are too overcrowded and euthanize regularly and bring them to our shelter and get them new homes. I was in another part of CA (Norco)...

I run a 4H group. One of my new members bought a couple of birds from a breeder. One is a D'uccle (mille fleur) the other is a silkie feathered Serama. According to the Serama standard website silkie is not recognized. Is this true? The newbie spent $100.00 on these two chickens!! I wish she...

Don't any of you guys try to stop me! I am GONNA DO IT!

At the shelter I work at, some of the heavier birds have come down with bumblefoot. We are a suburban shelter and the veterinary staff isn't very familiar with treating livestock. In the article on the first state vet supply website it was recommended by Peter J. Brown to treat the birds with an...

I work at an animal shelter in Orange County and I got a call from another shelter in Long Beach saying that they have a goat and she doesn't have much time left! She was found in a park, she is very friendly, cream colored, looks like a pygmy cross with horns. She is a bit on the thin side and...

I have such a cutie pie dog staying with me right now. she is a Miniature Pinscher and man is she sweet! Working at an animal shelter, I get to foster all kinds of critters. This time I got to foster Giselle, a very pregnant min-pin. Can I tell you, I love her. I have seen all kinds of min-pins...

My daughter has a few show birds and her modern game rooster has become very aggressive. He attacks everyone all the time. good thing he's a bantam or he'd be doin' major damage. Today I wanted to kick him! (but I didn't) Has anyone had REAL success in turning around a mean rooster? ohhhhh I...

We went to a poultry show put on by a county 4H program and it was fun!! My girls just love the poultry shows and I am soooo glad they have something like this to be proud of! My older daughter got some cool placements. Her Leghorn (bantam) got best of breed and she got 1st and best variety for...
