We got two bottle sheep almost a week ago, and we've never had sheep before. Their names are Pomp and Stan. They've been doing great on the bottle and are very healthy! We have goats, a pig, dogs and cats, so I know how to take care of them. The only thing I don't know, is, #1: How to wean them...

I found my duck frozen to the ground today. It is about -10 degrees here in Minnesota. We brought her inside and let her warm up in the tub with some luke-warm water. Then we put her in a bucket with some hay and a little bowl of water. I went to check on her a little while ago, and she has...
