    Nerve Damage to Leg?

    I may be able to get pictures later on but I'm not at my Grandma's right now. I texted the vet and explained the symptoms, and he just diagnosed the rooster over the phone. He told me there's really nothing I can do except let the rooster rest and that it may take months to heal. I haven't...

    Nerve Damage to Leg?

    Hey y'all. Somebody threw something at my Grandma's pet rooster and now he's not using his leg. He uses his upper leg, but there is no reflex in his lower leg or toes. We haven't been able to find anything broken and my vet said it could be nerve damage. I've read nerve damage can heal (at least...

    Official BYC Poll: What other animals do you have besides chickens?

    I personally have dogs, cattle, guineas, turkeys, chickens, ducks and pigeons (which I didn't see on the list). But on our farm we also have goats and human kids lol.

    Training stock/cow dogs

    I'd love to hear what works for you. I have a young cattle dog mix that has the instinct but I'm not at the point where I have time to train her to do it! I hope to eventually.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Well, when you need to supply potatoes enough to last 11 people a year of eating... It take a LOT! I've been experimenting the last few years since I started growing them and found that 6-8 30ft rows aren't enough to last us through the winter. I planted 380 linear feet total, so 6 sets of...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I got about 380 linear feet of potatoes planted! That equals 12 3/4 rows in my garden (I planted them in double rows 20 ins apart to save space and shade out weeds. Also planted carrots, peas, beans and a little bit of lettuce so far. We got some cabbage, broccoli, and (maybe?) cauliflower...

    Who wants to judge cattle quality?

    They should look better after they drop their winter coats. Just make sure you get a dewormer that works, like Ivermectin for example. Protein tubs are great for when you can't get the best quality pasture or hay.

    Just got my first cow!

    Looks like you have great hay. I haven't kept mine with horses, so I wouldn't be the one to know about that. But good luck anyway!

    My First Hatch!

    Thank you for the information! I ended up opening the remaining eggs after they never pipped. All the remaining poults were fully developed but dead in the egg. I had a chick due to hatch the same time and it also died in the egg without absorbing the remaining yolk. It was disappointing, but I...

    Need help with my dog

    We've had dogs that pee when they're happy or excited (aka, glee pee). Usually we see it in puppies. My current dog did it when she was little and I believe her mom did, too.. They both pretty much grew out of it and now it's a rare occurrence, usually just if they're terribly scared. It's...
