    Jest Another Day in Pear-A-Dice - Higgins Rat Ranch Conservation Farm in Alberta

    Tara, still myself, do marvel at the beautiful picture of the egg and the gal. I really loved the picture of Fixins and Foamy running at dusk through the snow, and the beautiful piece of wood, that looks like a human stretching the arms to the glory of the skies above. I would like to save...

    Jest Another Day in Pear-A-Dice - Higgins Rat Ranch Conservation Farm in Alberta

    My dear Tara, please do re-post that picture of my lil' Sister in her pretty blue dress, holding the great and wonderful egg of a turkey, oh so many years ago now. That picture is astonishment and pride in all its glory, the glory of the egg that can perform so many things in this world, to...

    Jest Another Day in Pear-A-Dice - Higgins Rat Ranch Conservation Farm in Alberta

    Well, I am subscribed to this thread, and am so glad I did, it was nice to read, Tara, your meanderings around the farm, smiling that big smile. I have been very busy this winter too, and am in the throws of single mating with my buff orpington flock. Got almost all the 10 hens covered, so...

    Jest Another Day in Pear-A-Dice - Higgins Rat Ranch Conservation Farm in Alberta

    I know pretty much how old Tara is, but that is my top secret and top secrets cannot be told, smiling...I am reading this thread and following it for sure. There is so much that this gal has to say, the hours and hours of telling her farm tales, the pictures that accompany her words in the...

    Marsh Roll-X Incubator by Lyon - User's Thread

    I am borrowing a Marsh Roll-X incubator that sounds just like this one. An older model. I took off the inside of the lid to clean it out thoroughly and below the wafer was a black box, held onto the lid by a zip tie. I took off the zip tie because that was attaching the little black box to the...

    Jest Another Day in Pear-A-Dice - Higgins Rat Ranch Conservation Farm in Alberta

    Oh my goodness, beautiful post Tara, reminds me so much of other ones I have read, and I revisited the pictures too, some a view from the shoes, smiling. I am now exhausted, thank you, and have used up all my morning internet time, visiting with you as I read through your posts and others --...

    Worms in feces, graphic and horrible picture

    Oh wow, I am subscribed to this topic, glad that I am. These chicks are two weeks old and obviously have never been in contact with other birds to ingest something to give worms. Now this gives rise to the thought that the mother(s) of the chicks are heavily infested with worms and that the...

    The chicken throat with growths, anatomy of the bird

    I have a barred rock gal that was given to me several months ago. Quite a nice one actually. No clue of her age. Her bones in her backside feel like there is enough for eggs to pass (at least two fingers wide) and I think she used to lay, but isn't now. She is a very nice bird, did I mention...

    Worms in feces, graphic and horrible picture

    Ok, so taking a little longer to get back to this topic, but am back. This is a topic worthy of good conversation, as is occurring. I am wondering why worming for the tapeworm is not as common as worming for round worms. It is pretty much known that chickens get worms. Period. They get them...

    A pretty awful looking eye

    Upon examination of the pullet in questions eye today, the swelling appeared less and the yellow stuff, whatever it was was lessened. Still visibly this eye is in distress. I drenched the eye several times with colloidal silver water, and after this procedure could see something along the top...

    A pretty awful looking eye

    That is why I don't think it is a disease. It is too windy to even go outside right yet, but still on my agenda to flush the eye again.
