When I worked at a vet clinic, the doc would always tell people to NEVER feed their dogs Ol' Roy - Walmart's brand of dog food. He always said that it would kill your dog. I imagine that Walmart brand of chicken feed is any better quality. I'm so sorry to hear about your chickens. You've...
Just curious what your opinion is for the most friendly chicken breed. I had a Buff Orpington that was soooo friendly and actually wanted to be in my lap and held while I wandered around the chicken run. We were so upset when she was gone. I have just hatched out some Marans and Aracanas and...
My first thought was a brooder box, but it would make a great feed holder! If the freezer isn't running, it won't hold the suction that keeps fridges and freezers closed. You'll have to add a latch on the door. Good luck!
I hatched out my first batch of chicks a month ago and it was soooooo exciting! You're hatch rate is amazing! I bought mine off of ebay so I only got about 50%. Congrats and enjoy those cutie-pies!
I can't imagine my husband and I would be able to eat all of that stuff before it went bad. And I'm way too busy to work that hard. BUT, if I did lose my mind and go coupon crazy and get it all for free, I would have to give it to our local food bank. In the mean time, we'll just keep buying...
Yes, the TSC on hwy 46! I will get Ray on it ASAP! I certainly dont think it's right for anyone to ask for your personal info when you buying something as obscure as, cheese balls, dog treats, cracked corn, chicken feed, dog food, etc... Feel free to email me if you have any questions. We...
I agree with the others. My 12 week olds stayed in their chicken enclosure for two weeks until I thought they were ready for the run. Glad I did that as they're very familiar with their hen house and know that is their "safe place" at night. I also feed them in there at night so it's easy to...
I really think this signing your name thing is kinda shady. In hindsight, I've noticed that they now ask for your phone number instead of you zip when you check out - even it its just for dog food or feed. My husband was the mayor of Bulverde (the TSC in question, I'm sure) and is still an...
Okay, one last question about my broody guinea. Because I'm not sure if my male guinea is actually a male (it was sold to me as a female), I don't know if my broody guinea is laying fertile eggs. I collect them every day assuming they're not. Here's my question: Can I buy some fertile guinea...
Just be patient and let Mother Nature do her thing. The little duckling knows what he's doing and it may take him a while to get out. Remember, he works for a bit and rests for a bit... The humidity is sooooo important! If it gets too low, the membrane will be too tough for it to get out...
That's a shame, my guineas live with my chickens and go to bed in their enclosure at night with them. When I let my chickens out in the morning, they go out too - theyre just part of the flock. Maybe introducing guineas with new chickens is the way to go. Hope you can take care of the...
I live in the Texas Hill Country - AKA, snake heaven. The day I bought my chickens, I also bought 3 guineas. My grandmother always had guineas with her chickens - and she always warned me against blindly gathering eggs too. My guineas have been great and they're awesome watch dogs! They kill...
I just hatched out 10 Copper and Black Marans and 3 Aracana chicks. We'll see what comes of it when they're old enough to have fun and start laying! Thanks for your help!
