    Best dog breed to keep an eye on my Motley flock?

    Hands down a Rottweiler or Rottweiler mix (personality swaying towards Rottie). I have a Black Lab/Rottie Mix that I adopted BEFORE the farm... i got him from the SPCA and if I could clone him I would! Absolutely fabulous around baby animals, even pigs. Doesn’t bark all day and night like a LGD...

    Rescue pig and the never ending pregnancy...

    They are here! Perfect unassisted delivery (husband found her farrowing at 4pm), 8 beautiful babies (4 boys, 4 girls). The black one looks like the male she was with when I rescued her. Omg. So cute!

    Red Broilers

    I am going to call Duncan’s and talk with them. Call Hoover’s back and ask for pictures. Maybe even do a trial group for the board?

I called Hoover’s customer service and the gal said the Red Broiler was from Hubbard breeding stock and if I heard her correctly, crossed with a Cornish. The description states the down/pin...

    CW Hen x BR Roo = ?

    My BR roo is courting my California White ladies. I plan to start collecting eggs for hatch in August when the girls are a year old. I know for a fact that my California Whites are from Hy-Line Leghorn hens crossed with a California Grey rooster. A California Grey rooster is a BR X Leghorn...

    Mystery TSC Ducklings

    It does not but interestingly enough the 8th ingredient is Brewer’s Yeast. It also lists Niacin Supplement towards the end.

    Mystery TSC Ducklings

    Thanks everyone. I am not using medicated feed nor have I ever. I either use Nuterna Meat Bird or Chick Starter (non-medicated) for my chicks. Question: could I add some crushed Calf Manna to their feed to help with the niacin?

    Mystery TSC Ducklings

    They are fairly small. Chicks didn’t have any trouble with it. I even sat a plastic igloo hideout on the brooder pad and the chicks really likes that for sleeping at night. Would that be beneficial for ducks? I keep my garage windows ajar for fresh air so cool air does come in at night.

    Do you mean in addition to the heating pad? It covers a great deal of the cage. Yes, I’m happy they are calm with the heating pad. I picked it up brand new at an estate sale. Brooded 9 CW chicks on it. I will never use a heat lap again. I LOVE that they can go to sleep at night!!! I no longer...
