    Chickens with white kidneys?

    I just processed a couple extra roosters tonight and both of them had white kidneys. They were rather swollen as well. Why? Is it hyperuricemia or gout? if so what caused it? The other organs looks healthy and normal so far as I could tell. Also They free range and I feed them layer pellets...

    What is this rooster?

    I think its acting pretty hennish the more I'm watching it. And comparatively the comb and wattle coloring isn't as dark as many of my others that came sexed as females. THis is my 4th go with this hatchery and I've had about an 80% sexing accuracy rate I'd say. Apparently this was one of the...

    Mareks Disease, What are the chances? Long story

    I bet the chicks you bought had been subject to over exposure when the store got them. Wasn't there a winter storm about that long ago? I bet they were stuck in shipping...

    Mareks Disease, What are the chances? Long story

    I had something similar to this come through my shipped chicks. It started on the day out of the box and carried on through the first 10 days. They died exactly the same way. It wasn't Merricks though. I found out it was from being starved during shipping. They couldn't rebound from it...

    Rain barrel nipple waterer.

    Okay. I love this idea. I had been planning to get some rain barrels and gutters for our barn shed so I could water calves from the rainwater and not have to lug it up the hill. This saves having to go in and do anything, really. haha. Awesome.

    Question about a contract

    Just to clarify, too, obviously these breeders, ethically, owe your friend a puppy. And I think its really crappy that they did this. I didn't want to sound like I was in favor of the breeders.

    Question about a contract

    once the contract is completed its no longer binding. its hard to know what was in the contract, usually there is some sort of health clause giving so many days before there is a refund given. If you're within that time span then, yes, there would be a refund demanded by the contract and small...
