I am just wondering what you all think here. I am very worried about my rooster. He is just not acting right. I am not a stay at home mom (so to speak) but allow them their freedom during the day. Monday they had to stay in all day, (they have a run for days such as these) and when I went to...
I need to know what to do. I found her like this, this afternoon. She was eating normal and had she not turned around, I would have never noticed. She is otherwise acting normal. Does seem to sound like she has some kind of respiratory thing going on now when I was holding her. No discharge...
I know there is a way to put photo right on fabric. Is there a way to do this for quilting? Like making a photo quilt? Does this take a special printer? I am thinking of giving this a try... please help, lol.
Here is baby, she hatched out on May 5th this year. I did not know what to call her, and thought she was a male for a long time. Well, now I know for sure she is a she. And she is a very nice girl.
Here she is running to catch up to her mama. Not her real mama, just the one who hatched...
Whenever Hotwings comes over to visit, she brings her dog Dodge. He loves pigs!! Ususally he must sit and whine behind the fence. On this day we let him in with the piglets. I think he is in love!!!
It was a very bright day, so I had to try to adjust the brightness. I hope they look ok.
Anyone familiar with clicker training? Check out this video of a chicken going through an obstacle course. It is pretty cool, and if I had the course, I have a clicker and a chicken that I would love to try that on.
Is anyone familiar with an antibacterial ointment called Nitrofurazone? I was wondering what the time is after application that you can eat the eggs. I have looked on the internet and I can not make heads or tails of what it says. So I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with it.
the only thing is, you can not eat her eggs, or her. She was attacked by a dog on Saturday, and today, I found maggots. So, I cleaned her all up and put some powerful antibiotic ointment on her. The vet that live up the road came over and let me use it. She first asked if I was going to eat...
Piglets born 9\\8 I think they are quite possibly the cutest little things on earth at this age.

While cutting our hayfield today, a wild turkey nest was destroyed and the hen is gone. By that I mean, she took off. My brother gathered the eggs and that were not ruined by the mower (about 9) and I put them with my broody hens. I don't know if they will stay on them as most of their chicks...

Buffy's baby was 2 weeks old on Saturday. I let them have the pullet coop during the day and I put the pullets out with the hens to free range. This is going pretty good. But Buffy wants out in the yard. I did let her and the baby out about a week ago and stayed down there for a few hours...

a broody hen to want to get out again after the hatch? My broody Buffy hatched one chick on Saturday, and still is sitting. She has no more eggs under her, just the one lonely chick. Food for both and water is nearby, and I clean all the poo out daily. I gave her the opportunity today, but...
