    State a fact about yourself!

    I rescued a 2 year old bratty bloodhound named Molly. No manners, no training and just the sweetest moose on the planet.

    Chick's nostrils not open all the way?

    I've been putting sulfadimethoxine in their water for the past couple days and putting some in her water that I hand feed her. The lady at my feed store said its a little easier on their system than corvid. She had a rather large but normal poop on the blanket I had her sitting on. But she is...

    Chick's nostrils not open all the way?

    I have an Olive Egger chick that doesn't look like her nostrils are open as much as the others. She's much smaller than the rest. She's about a month old and has been doing very well, despite her petite size. She's not eating unless I hand feed her. I try to offer her food, just a few bites...

    My hen was attacked by geese (I think)

    I don't know. I wasn't home but my husband was curious about why her stomach (abdomen?) was so tight. He said when he opened her up liquid just kept coming out. cindie

    Homemade Incubators

    I'm going to try hatching my own eggs this year and I'm just making a cheap one from a Styrofoam cooler or maybe an old tub with a lid. If I decide to go with the tub, is foam core good enough insulation? I can get sheets of it at the dollar store and I'd rather spend the money on getting good...

    Need Interior Design Ideas for My Coop!

    I know I'm probably nuts, but I've even bought curtains for the windows (I bought a 23' camper trailer) and pictures for the walls. I did have enough common sense to get them from thrift stores. I wish I would've known about building the roosts towards the back, though. I'm storing feed and...

    Humane way to kill a goose

    Thank you. My husband is home for a while so he can help and he's not as squeamish about these things. I don't have problem with killing if it's a mean rooster or even meat birds. Though, I usually let one or two live out their lives free waddling with the rest of the chickens. There's always...

    My hen was attacked by geese (I think)

    Well, we euthanized her. My husband did it while I was in town, but I'm really glad I did. My husband said she had a lot of urine in her bladder. It wasn't really obvious from the outside, though after thinking about it, I now realize it was noticeable. I was so involved with her injuries I...

    Humane way to kill a goose

    I searched through the forum and didn't find any threads related to this. I've also googled and watched way too many videos on youTube. I feel sickened by the brutality and lack of concern for their animals people have. I have 4 Toulouse Geese and I've had them for about 3 years now. I think...

    My hen was attacked by geese (I think)

    You can still see a bit of the top beak but I was looking at her more closely this morning and she's breathing really hard so there may be things going on internally. I really don't want her to suffer so I think I'll put her down today. But thank you for your help. Chickens are such special...

    My hen was attacked by geese (I think)

    I found her yesterday morning wedged between a metal trash can I use for feed and the wall of the coop, like she was trying to scrunch herself back as far as she could. Poor girl, she was one that didn't even have a name, though now she's Harriet (after Harriet Tubman who had a lot to overcome...
