    Official BYC Poll: How Long Have You Been Raising Chickens?

    Not of the top of my head. I do know where to find it. My library is mostly packed up from when I moved from the city. I will have to dig that out as I want to read it again. The book was about two inches thick, the same format (size) as Margaret Mitchell's 'gone with the wind '. It's a cotton...

    I just found all 26 of my ducks headless!?!?

    In case I get any weird remarks about ferret poop... You keep an eye in their stool to know the health of the animal. Ferrets are difficult to diagnose otherwise and the stool is pretty consistent in a healthy animal and often the first signs of illness are found that way... Know your poop 💩!

    I just found all 26 of my ducks headless!?!?

    Momma racoon will often take babies hunting with her to show them the ropes. It's way too early in the year here for that but dunno where you are. Further south it may be possible to get an early litter? I dunno. Weasel family critters typically hunt alone. My brother used to run a...
