    Thank you! We had a roll of neoprene rubber already at our house, so I cut what I needed of that and it was perfect! I used liquid nail to glue it on, then went around the edges with clear silicone so dirt and debris didn’t get wedged in there.

    Integrating to flock when on different foods

    Brown and Yellow scabs on skin

    Brown and Yellow scabs on skin

    Just got the final necropsy report back. My understanding is she had a sinus bacterial infection and went septic, which ultimately killed her.

    My tamed duck won’t eat mealworms

    Put them in water. Either toss a couple in his drinking water or when he bathes and let him find them.

    Entry 2 - my mini Zebu, Lolly. She is 10 months old, and she loves food, and annoying me. But she's so sweet and cute that I don't really mind. If I don't give her attention when she walks up to me, she will stand there and start chewing on my clothes. This is probably some kind of behavior I...

    Easter Egger and Olive Egger confusion

    Well said! And this is also why Olive Eggers and chocolate/ true blue layers should come from reputable breeders if you’re worried about quality. They are bred for quality by selective breeding. Some people do not care one way or another. I personally do, because genetics fascinate me ♥️
