    What variety is on your table on Thursday?

    We got our turkeys late this year, so grocery store turkey for Thanksgiving, cooked by my husband in his big ole smoker. The two BB White boys will be Christmas dinner.

    New puppy dying of Parvo... (BOWEL MOVEMENT PICTURES WARNING)

    When you say all the puppies, do you mean actual puppies, or are you referring to adult dogs? Are your other dogs all current on their vaccines? Please call the shelter this pup came from, and tell them everything going on - whether they want to hear it or not, they need to know. My deepest...

    Update*Found Great Home.. Free To Good Home Very

    I think she's adorable, with that black nose and lips! I'm wondering if you have asked any of your local pit bull rescues about doing a courtesy listing for you? Have you listed her on Pit Bull Rescue Central? I do not know what you used for the demodex, but what we have had great success...

    LGD for adoption! Oregon/Washington

    I just wanted to update and say that it looks like our big goofball of a girl will most likely be getting adopted to a sheep ranch in Pescadero, California! I'm very excited for her, and will update when I know for sure either way. If anyone on BYC is in the area, I am still looking for a...

    New to Bourbon Reds - my poults are quite light colored - pic heavy

    Quote: Thank you! - only reason I was concerned is that only one of the turkeys looks like that.

    New to Bourbon Reds - my poults are quite light colored - pic heavy

    Again, thank you to everyone for your helpful comments! Yes, I will continue to post photos as they grow. I am also going to contact the person I purchased them from again, and just ask him to tell me what hatchery they came from. Maybe that will help. I had contacted him before I posted...

    New to Bourbon Reds - my poults are quite light colored - pic heavy

    Thank you for the opinions! I have had BBW's before, and they do resemble them. I just want to give the person who sold them to me the benefit of the doubt, and am still hopefull they end up being poorly bred bourbon reds. Lets just say they are a light colored bourbon red - if so, should I...

    New to Bourbon Reds - my poults are quite light colored - pic heavy

    In the past few years, I have only had BB bronze and whites. This year, due to problems with shipping to my local feed store, I ended up needing to find turkeys late. I was able to locate 6 poults - 4 bourbon reds and 2 BB bronze. As you can see from the photos below, the bourbon reds are a...

    LGD for adoption! Oregon/Washington

    So far she seems like she would do well in the house, although she is a bit of a "bull in a china shop". First thing she did when in her foster home is put her feet on the kitchen counter to smell what she could just barely see. She really likes being outside the best, but loves lots of...

    LGD for adoption! Oregon/Washington

    I am just getting the word out about a new dog in the rescue I work with. Her name is Andorra (Annie), and she came to a local shelter as a stray. We believe she is just over 2 years old, and most likely a Great Pyrenees (mix?). So far, she has been exposed to ducks, chickens, goats, and...

    Pilgrims or American Blue? Can't decide!

    Thanks everyone! This has not been an easy choice for me at all. But I have decided that I am going to go with the American blue/lavendar goslings in the spring. Most likely a pair of each color, or possibly just the blues. I wish I could get the Pilgrims as well, but want to stick with...

    I need to switch dog foods. Help on brands?

    I think that it would help you to do some research on this website: http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/ You can type in your current dog food and see how they rate it, and why. Do it with any foods you are considering switching to as well. For the money, I think you could not go wrong with the...

    Pilgrims or American Blue? Can't decide!

    For those of you who have Pilgrims, approx how many eggs would you say a single pair will hatch in a good year? Approx weight? Everything I have read suggests they are more docile and not quite as loud as some other geese. Is this a good general rule? And since I know the American...

    Pilgrims or American Blue? Can't decide!

    I am torn as to which breed of goose to get. I have been researching geese for a while now - doing searches here, emailing friends with geese to pick their brains, joined a goose yahoo group, purchased The Book of Geese (any other recommended reading?). We are wanting a good dual-purpose...
