    rooster collars??

    I made my own collar, depending on the size of the roo. I made mine 6 inches long. Two bits of velcrow, hook side out, soft side in. Put low on the neck to prevent that big inhalation of air. It does work. Grey didn't like it for about a minuet, then carried on as if it wasn't there. You...

    1 eyed chick

    Omg, its awfully hard, I know from my years of farming. I cried when our sow stood on our first piglets, but it didn't kill them. I had to get my husband to shoot them. I have farming friend that would say 'when you've got livestock, you've got deadstock', I hated it when we had the dairy goats...

    Hi Poor baby, it doesn't sound good. I personally would have to hit it on the head. Please don't get mad. . I don't like animals suffering. If its happy, well,,,, you can let it live its life out. I think it has some kind of deformity, that I have not heard of. But I am not an expert. Its...

    LAYERS MASH, 18% protein, is it high enough?

    Thank you for that information. My backyard is not manicured, I believe in letting nature do its natural thing, within reason. So there are weeds and different types of grasses popping up through the ice and snow. I shall give them the cheaper mash. and also the wheat. I was giving them...

    SHIPPING EGGS, TO DO OR NOT TO DO????

    On the 27 Dec 2014 My Eggs Hatched

    Oh. I did not know that. But I did assume after looking at them and no apparent development had started. so after the mixtures of what has come out of the pure bred leghorn eggs. I was not impressed.

    Hi, lol no, the hen in my picture is Arriettie , she ended up in there somehow. The red shavers I have, are the traditional red shavers. I don't have a photo of one to put in at the moment. They aren't sex linked as far as I know, because they are vent checked for sex. I have had them over...

    ROOSTERS AND ROOSTER COLLARS?????

    Yes, keeping them out of the pot, I really don't want to put him in one. I think its about correct positioning and having it tight enough so he cant get that big breath of air. My son came in to see me and said I think Grey is dead, so we rushed up to the coup, he was eating, just not doing...
