Ok so my girls started laying for the first time this week! Yay! Anyhow we picked up the first two eggs yesterday and of course she has another today. But today she seems to be going broody. She walked out of the coop for on a couple minutes then back to her egg. I would like to have her hatch...

Brushing their teeth is perfectly fine. It helps promote the health and condition of their teeth and breath. Also why vets clean their teeth too. Anyhow you should look for a toothpaste without fluoride . Or what I did was just bought a tube of arm and hammer dog tooth paste. Mind you there are...

Pictures 2 & 3 the black/red ones look exactly like my girls. And I bought mine as egg layers from Theisens. They were hatchery choice. Now mind you I'm not quite getting eggs yet but I have been told and they seem to look like easter eggers.

So added molasses powder but still they are sleeping most of the day, drinking but ignoring the food. Today is day 3. Also joined backyard herds but everything says I don't have permission to posy, reply or anything...? Don't know what I'm doing wrong there.... Anyhow I even took the smallest...

Ok so we are NEW to having pigs. I'm sure we will get it all figured out here eventually. But anyhow we are getting free reject piglets from a local confinement. They all have something wrong with them. Maybe an abscess or a castration hernia or something. Anyhow my main question today is I...

Sorry I didn't quote you in above post I am in iowa and wondered if your friend still had any snowy mallards? I have a snowy drake and need ladies.

I don't suppose your friend still has any snowy mallards?

So I don't have a pic to upload at the moment but just a quick question. I just got a free barred rock rooster. He is a beautiful boy! Full grown but much smaller than a barred rock should be also he has half feathered legs and feet ( like a silkie or emperor) I'm new to the chick scene so...

Not sure what this is made of but I also used corn cob pellets (usually used in horse stalls) and smell wise it worked great! My only complaint would be dust. The chicks were very good at scratching the pellets into dust, which then proceeded to float EVERYWHERE ! Now I must say this was...

Maybe a hot water bottle? You can buy em at Walmart, Walgreens , most drug stores. Or also they sell clay hot cold packs too...heat may last longer in one of those. But if you go with hot water bottle you could pull over at a gas station once or twice and refill with new hot water.

Then when the kids are in the room it still happens in your head like: :duc

Ty! We think so too :)

Hope someone is still viewing this thread... But this is our 8 month old little girl "Jessie" we just rescued her about a week ago. She was picked up by animal control as a stray and was actually one day past euthanasia. I cant believe they were going to kill this adorable baby! She loves...

So how young can you start feeding chicks fodder. Mine are about 7-8 weeks right now and was wondering if they can start getting fodder yet. They are kind bored in the brooder and even with chick sticks and homemade chick sticks they are flying through those like crazy! I can't wait to let the...

Victor iowa here. (Half way between Des Moines and Cedar Rapids . ) anybody close?

Awwww poor baby :( ya I would for sure get another opinion or two and in the mean time try giving him frozen wash rags or frozen bananas to chew on..

Oh my gosh I am just loving reading this. Everything is just like my oldest haha. Ya we had her on AR as well. I never did do a toddler formula. We added baby food because even with AR she could still projectile vomit. She didn't grow out of it until about a year and a half. The vomiting that...

And aside from soy milk you may try goat milk too. A lot of ppl who can't do cows milk can do goat fine. We are actually talking about getting some dairy goats ourselves. I'm not totally read up on it yet but I know they have smaller proteins and agree with our digestive track better. And if you...

Ya my BIL had that. They cut his piece of skin under the tongue back when he had trouble even with a bottle. So ya I'm sure it probably did interfere with nursing :/ I know sometimes they do wait for it to recede on its own but they seem to do it if it's causing feeding problems though..hmmm ya...

Good to know. I'm a newbie at this I know my austrolorps have green to them but I have copper marans that don't seem to have any green at all. But I bet a bunch more do too. I know I would like to breed true with my coppers but I am thinking I bet I will end up with a bunch of mutts because of...
