My older boston terrier/boxer mix has an awful time with collars. He's a "runner off-er", and if I'm not out with him supervising him 100% of the time, he likes to go off on "adventures" He's microchipped, but I would feel MUCH better if he was also wearing his ID tags. Does anyone know of a...

On day 11...how bad is this? I don't know for sure how long it was like that, but I went to bed at 11pm and it was at 99.9 (where it has held steady from day 1) and at 7am it was 96.9

That when your dog gets bit by a rattlesnake for the THIRD time in 1 month, they don't even react to it anymore? Just a little swelling I can't wait for winter so those #%$$!@ snakes will go away for a few months!

I bought an LG incubator with the egg turner at TSC. (I had another LG but my 4 year old cracked the styrofoam). I bring home the incubator and get it set up....it heats up and runs for about 20 minutes and then quits. No heat, but the little light was still on. I take it back to TSC and...

I am after 6 new layers for this next spring I plan on ordering around 9-10 total and picking my favorites.. I wanted 3 new breeds, something that can handle the cold (it gets down to the single digits with neg windchills here in the winter), something that is NOT normally broody (have enough...

I have a banty EE hen that is currently sitting on her THIRD clutch of eggs and she's not even a year old (she will be 1yr next month). She's hatched and raised 2 groups of chicks, just 'weaned' her last bunch about 2 weeks ago. The girl will lay 7-8 eggs and then must sit She free ranges and...

I FOUND A NEST!!!! And it's about 10ft from my back door I've spent years searching for a guinea nest and have never found one. Our guineas have a huge area they cover around here and I figured it was impossible to find one, they are master hiders. A storm blew in a few weeks ago and the...

I am SO mad right now. I had a little self blue OEGB hen sitting on 9 of her eggs, she "belongs" to my little black tailed buff dutch rooster. I was SO excited for their babies and to see what that cross looked like, especially because the little rooster is such a sweetie! She only hatched 2 of...

I have a very young self blue OEGB broody that is not being the best mom Her babies are hatching (9 little banty eggs she is sitting on) and as they hatch she's kicking them out away from her I just went out to check on her again (for the 4000th time today ) and there were 2 teeny black...

I have 4 broodies right now When one banty goes broody, they all follow, I guess One of them is on day 16, but I've noticed SEVERAL times that she isn't covering all of her eggs. She is sitting on 3 regular sized eggs that should contain my first olive egger chicks (I switched her eggs out...

When you have 30 chicks you're raising in your garage, you will then have 3 sneaky broody banty hens sitting on hidden nests containing 20+ eggs between the 3 of them At least it stopped me from coming home with TSC chicks today

I have bantam chicks that are 6 weeks old today, teeny tiny but totally feathered. Right now they're in a big brooder in our garage, which is uninsulated with a cement floor, but not drafty. It's getting down to upper 20's/low 30's at night. My husband is insistant on taking away the heat lamp...

What would this cross be like? Does anyone have any pictures? I have 5 BCM hens and 1 golden cuckoo hen in with my BCM rooster. My mom and grandma want some chocolate egg layers of their own so I've been collecting eggs that we will be putting into the incubator this weekend. Problem is I can't...

How well do these work/stay on? I have a golden cuckoo hen that is getting pretty "worn" on her lower back and I don't want any problems. My rooster (BCMarans) is a BIG boy, he's gentle but his size is enormous. He's got 12 hens to himself, but my Goldie seems to be his favorite Where is the...

I caught one of my hens munching on an egg yesterday I had my husband cull her before the others caught on to what she was doing (and have been watching them all like a hawk!) and when we were processing her we found TONS of yellow fat! She was a young naked neck hen, only about 22 weeks...

I am so mad! My chicks had a 2/15 ship date (yesterday) and should have arrived this morning. We're same state and they always arrive next day. I called the PO (again) to ask if they'd arrived on the truck and the lady said "I don't know, I think so? They might have been sent out with Walter...

DH was supposed to pick up Start n Grow for me for my chicks shipping tomorrow. I told him it was in a red bag.....and he brings home Flock Raiser The whole red bag thing was too much I guess, LOL. Is this okay for day olds or do I need to get actual starter for them?

My chicks are supposed to ship Wednesday and they're expecting rain/snow all day Wed, Wed night, and Thurs I hope they make it

A 1 gallon bucket half filled with water I have 3 guineas that are younger and much smaller than my others, so they will stay locked up this winter. Their unheated poultry waterer is a pain to refill when it's frozen, so I use a 1 gallon bucket for them because I can just dump out the ice...

I'm not sure which one of my bc marans is doing this, but I'm getting progressively lighter and lighter eggs from one of them. I'm not getting very many eggs this time of year, and all of the other eggs that I am getting are very very dark still, but one of them has me stumped They are all...
