So, I know that some of you people will probably say "HEY! YOU POSTED THIS IN THE WRONG SECTION!" But this IS an emergency, and I don't think that I will get as many answers if I post it somewhere else. ALSO- please don't judge me. I have encountered a lot of this on here, and after today, I...

So, i'm sure most of you know about the whole salmonella thing @ mt healthy hatchery. I have chicks due to come in on may 29th from there. I am planning to bring these birds to the fair next year. to exhibit, they have to be pullorum tested. Let's say that these chicks have a salmonella...

so I just ordered a batch of layers a few weeks ago from mt healthy hatchery via my local agway. they should come in on the 29th. soooo now they are saying that over 60 cases of salmonella have been reported, all of which (they believe) to be traced back to mt healthy... What should I do...

So this is going to be my first year that I will be participating in "real" horse shows. Most likely Western Pleasure, Western Equitation, Trail, Western Showmansip... etc. Sooo what should I wear? I have new Ariat Fatbaby boots, and black jeans, and a sparkly longsleeved button down wrangler...

OK. Now while im WAITING (waiting-waiting-waiting....) for my question to be answered, heres something that I think would be fun.. Post pictures (or stories/descriptions) of the craziest eggs you've ever found in (or out of) your nesting boxes. I think this could be really cool! Also, it will...

Hey! I have a question, and I have 2 make it short bc I need an answer b4 my dad breaks the darn thing. Anyways, I have this lead shank (for horses/showmanship), and I packed it away about 3 yrs ago, w/ a knot in the chain (probably got knotted & then a horse pulled on it- SUPER TIGHT), and...

So, today at church, I was talking to this guy who used to own a duck farm, and he said that if you mix some water into their feed, they'll grow faster.... What do you think about this? Any opinions would be great! Thanks

Just a random question. Sometimes people are like "oh yeah I live on a FARM!" And that, or course, gets my attention. And I'm like "Oh, yeah? what do you have?" And she's like "4 chickens and 2 horses." and I'm like............ (!?!?!?) So, what would you consider a farm? Sometimes...

so this probably doesn't matter, but I'm putting leg bands on my Pekins, and I was wondering if it mattered which leg I put them on... It probably doesn't, but just thought I'd ask. Thanks. p.s. right now I have all the bands on their right legs.

Your opinions on ducks and chickens. Which do you prefer to keep, and for what reasons?

post the funniest joke/link/joke pic that you can!

Hello! I know that I could post this in the Duck Forums, but I figured that socializing ducklings isn't that much different than socializing chicks, and I'll probably get more hits here anyways. :) SO! On Friday I went to TSC to look at the chicks. The manager there said that I could take...

Hello, there is someone offering 6 free birds on Craigslist. They said that they have slowed down laying, and I would like to check them out. Are there any thing I should beware of/questions I should be asking before I decide if their worth it? Any feedback would be much appreciated...

Last night I talked to one of my customers, and she said that one of the eggs that she purchased from me had blood in it. Not just a spec, of a clump of tissue. A lot of it. Like real liquid blood. We eat a lot of eggs, and have never seen this before. What is the cause of it, and should I be...

So, in September we canned a big batch of applesauce. This morning we opened one (which was still sealed, by the way) and it had a bit of mold on the top. We would not eat it ourselves, of course, but If I scooped off the yucky part, do you think my chickens could eat it?? Thanks.
