    Grain Freed Dog Feed Linked To Heart Disease!

    I don't know where you're located but if you have a local meat locker that's been a gold mine for me. Folks take hogs, goats, cattle, chickens, deer, etc there to be butchered. They go down a cut sheet and just mark all the cuts that they want back from their animal. There's a lot of meat that...

    Your Ideal Flock....of only 4 birds!

    Honestly I haven't come across a breed that hasn't been friendly when I raise them from a baby so I would totally choose on the egg color if I could only have four. Here's the group I just selected over the past week to hatch out. I've just got to get an olive Egger LOL!

    Young rooster having issues mounting hens.

    It'll just take him a little bit to get it right. My avatar rooster is my favorite and he didn't figure it out until he was almost 6 months old!

    Help

    Does it seem to be just one foot or both? I mean I have one mostly sitting right now and he's hobbling but I'm almost certain that one of my goats stepped on his poor right foot. So I'm just making sure he has adequate food that he doesn't have to walk around after and letting him heal.

    How did this happen?

    Okay I finally got close enough to get a fairly decent picture of her even though it was barely daylight. Let's see if I can actually upload these right . So the darker feathers have been falling out and when the replacements come they're the gold. Also I should have clarified my Roo are 2 ayam...

    Duck killed by unknown animal

    That's a raccoon. For whatever reason they'll leave the whole body and just eat all of the neck and the inside of the head. One of my Cayuga a few months ago looked like she was literally just sitting there and her bill was resting on the ground. When I walked up all of her vertebrae in her neck...

    How did this happen?

    I just joined because I have been stumped over this for weeks. I live in the boondocks. There are no other chickens around me. My flock is 3 to 5 years old. I have a little of everything : altsteirer, black marans, lavender marans, ayam cemani , buff orpington, Barred Rock, Rhode Island red...
