I have a Saanen mix with a questionable attachment (it always looks as if she has a couple squirts of milk in each teat even when she has not been bred in a long time) that was bred on my watch a couple weeks ago. The day after she bred and for 4 more days she developed a pretty big udder that...

My 2 yr old turkey hen sat steadily on either infertile or just bad eggs last month. She started laying again and I decided to collect the eggs for incubation. This time around I have seen the tom trying to mate with her on several occassions and she seems receptive although that seems...

Of course... soooo excited here and wanting to hear from more experienced pig owners. This is my first gilt and I got her as an adult. I let her run with a male until I noticed pregnancy and moved her alone. So, I don't have an exact due date.... However I know she's in pig and she's close...

Please if you have a good eye and some goat experience help me here. This is Pippi my new Saanen goat. I bought her pregnant (supposedly). If she was pregnant her due date cannot be later than mid January. She has grown on her sides (I know pic show her left only but her right looks prettty much...

I am a first timer on PB pigs. People say they have saggy bellies but she seems preggers 2 me. I see pointy teats but no milk pouch yet. Please experts help here... how sure can I be she's in fact pregnant. She was with a much younger male for a couple months (he was 5 months old). I have not...

This is my goat's 3rd pregnancy and 2nd kidding. The first time I had a due date and everything went well, let's say ok regarding the kidding part except that she rejected the kid and I bottle raised him. Then she got pregnant (father was gorgeous by the way) and I had an exact due date but both...

This is a first timer for me and I don't know how common it is. This is a few hours old Pekin duckling with a toe on the head. As you notice is also crested. I had some crested and have been eliminating them but still some of my girls have "crested" in their genes. The picture does not show...

Just set 15 English eggs and 16 regular ones in a bator that already had a couple pekin eggs. English ones I am doing as a favor to a family member but I think were not kept at the appropriate temp, nor turned daily as he collected them... Hopefully at least some hatch :/

I incubated 7 duck eggs and ended up with 6 girls and a drake. They aren't mating just yet. The drake has weird wings that expand outward and seem to have less feathers or feathers that look stuck together. Maybe because they are growing in a weird position...I don't know. Anyways... will this...

I have only one goat that just kidded. We were crazy busy with the rest of the animals in the farm to make a "state of the art" milkstand and I was cracking my head on what to do (she is not tame at all)... Suddenly I noticed an old chair and... this is what I came up with... We cut the two...

I set 14 Pekin eggs 5 days ago in my incubator. I usually turn them by hand three times a day. I had to leave town for three days and although I made arrangements for somone to come and do at least one turn for me until I got back, that DID NOT HAPPEN!!!! I am on my way home and wonder if I...

I have two Netherland Dwarf rabbits that are about 2 years old. They are sneezing, but eating well. These are my only pet bunnies because the others I raise for meat. I am VERY concerned with them spreading any diseases to the others. They are housed appart these others, but still I am pretty...

Something (rats maybe) destryed and ate all 14 eggs on my turkey's nest. I decided to dismantle it and remove eggs daily so she's discoraged to lay there. I can incubate the ones I am collecting or put them under her if she moves her business some place else. Here's the thing.... she's going...

i posted before about my goat. But I got all dates messed up and was wrong about her due date. BEFORE I thought if she was pregnant she'd be due April 15 ish... and after that date I just forgot about it... Then a couple days ago I noticed her udder filling (this is my 1rst goat and would be...

For all of you, experiment enthusiasts!!!! YEEESSSS!!!!! I hatched 4 poults, 2 ducklings and 8 chicks in the same brooder!!! YEEESSSS... and I turned them 3 times daily for 28 dayyys!!! YEEESSSS... and my family thinks I am crazy!!! YEEEESSS... and after day 10 I thought so too, but I just...

Quick question... I have not done this before but, so far so good... Duck eggs have pipped and turkey eggs are rocking just fine. A couple chicken eggs are rocking too (not as much though). I think duck and turkeys will be hatching as much as 24 hours appart the chicken eggs. It's better for...

His name is Dali. I have got another tom (Frodo) and 2 hens (Paz and Lupe) just like him... well pretty much like him.

It took you some time to come up with them, so you might as well share them:D My turkeys are: Dali, Frodo, Lupe and Paz Chickens: Blanca, Pistacha, Taina, and Don Quijote Goats: Bettulia and Jumex Ducks: Kata and Otto Rabbits: Caramelo, Granola, Menta, Lulu, John, Peter and many unnamed babies

My Peking Kala, chose a nice spot and made a nest. She had previously layer all over the place and now is not. She is going in to turn them during the day... If heard Pekin ducks just won't sit so I was removing them. I have some in my bator, some under a broody turkey hen and some in my...
