Quote: Sadly our feed store doesn't sell ducklings right now...so I was wondering if a chick would help ease it's loneliness. I'll try the mirror too. Our vet should be home tomorrow & I'm hoping she can help too.

Thanks! We've got a stuffed animal in there, and trying to keep it warm and dark so it stays calm. Glad to know I'm on the right track.

While driving home from our local farm supply store I spotted a mallard duckling flopping around on our main road (next to it's two run over siblings). I pulled over, stopped traffic and scooped it up. No momma duck or other siblings in sight. Across the road (about four lanes of traffic in...

Millie came home last night and is doing amazingly well. My vet is wonderful, she had kept Millie with her at her house so she could keep a close eye on her overnight. My daughter came with me to pick her up and it was so cute--the second Millie heard our voices she perked up and began some...

I had NO idea that Blue Jays could be so vicious, but I sure learned the hard way earlier today. I had my two week old chicks out in a small pen in the front yard and was gone literally less than one minute when a blue attacked. She had one of my RIRs by the neck and punctured her jugular...

Thanks all. I heard from our vet around 9:00 pm that Millie has turned the corner and she thinks Millie is going to make it. It looks like the blue jay punctured her jugular and she has some significant bruising in her neck. A steroid shot, some oxygen and some incubation seem to be...

Have you seen the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes"? She sounds like an Idgie to me. Caring, beautiful and brave....what more could you ask for in a furry friend?

My two week old chicks were outside in a little chicken tractor for some fresh air and fun. We were keeping an eye on them and in the ONE minute I had my back turned a blue jay got in there and attacked one of my RIRs. Millie is such a sweet girl and I am distraught right now. The jay had by...

Welcome from just down the road!

With Passover starting in less than 24 hours I thought I'd post and see if anyone had any interesting variations on the standard matzo brei recipe!

I have been a caregiver for many loved ones with cancer--it can be such a tough battle. You and your mother are in my prayers. Thalidomide has generally the same effect as the THC is marijuana...it makes the patient sleepy and then hungry. I don't know if your mom's oncologist can prescribe...

I love old books! What a treat this book is. Hmmmm...I think I have a new book collection to start.....

I have an older Cannon Rebel, nothing special but I love it. I love photography and enjoy my time behind the lens.

Thanks! What an incredible resource this board is. I'm going to LOVE it here.
