Keeping this short and to the point. I have a call who had been attacked by a coon last Friday, she is recovering however while we have been able to help her drink as well as provide electrolyte water, food is concerning, what do i do? baby formula, soak the staple feed we already use, a baby...

My grandson will be 4yrs this summer, now obviously he can only "aid" in the care but we would like a generally friendly, docile breed recommendation, winter hardy please, long and can be very cold winters here, we've owned chickens for years but what is left is either not hand raised and/or...

I have a mink problem... i have tried using the kills but that doesn't seem to appeal to it. What is my next best option? i need to catch this bloody thing before it wipes out my entire my chicken flock. Thanks all. To update i have baited my trap with some cat food at least for tonight as i...

Odd question but here it goes... has your drake managed to cut open your ducks? i mean like badly, slice through her when dismounting during mating? I seem to have this problem within what was my half dozen Pekin flock... I can honestly say this is a new one for me, as i have owned ducks for...
