    "Neutered" dog question

    scbatz33 is correct. As long as he was properly neutered, you are okay. I have heard of vets missing a crytorchid testicle and getting a female pregnant, but it is very rare. It usually happens at shelter or spay clinics where the procedures are done quickly. Your neutered dog will probably...

    chickens and vegetable gardens??

    They don't eat garlic or onions. In fact, the chickens will eat the weeds around the garlic, so you don't have to do any weeding! A 3 foot fence works to keep out our heavy breed hens from the rest of the veggies. The RIR could probably fly over if she wanted, but the chickens get so much food...

    What breed does this look like?

    Yeah, I'm afraid she's a he. I don't think he's an EE- no EE features are apparent. Looks like a bantam, though. Maybe it's a Serama?

    Roo or pullet? - 9 wk bantam EE's *pics*

    So the blue with white lacing does look like a Roo? I wasn't 100% sure on that one either. If anyone likes these cute chickies, I hatched them from jmhappycowboy!!!! They are relatively quiet and docile.

    Roo or pullet? - 9 wk bantam EE's *pics*

    When should i shave my cat?

    Quiet Clippers are important... Turn on the clippers away from the cat before you bring them to his body...just in case he freaks out about the noise. Trim the nails first. Use clippers with an attachment that leaves about a 1/4" of hair You might have to do it in several time periods. Cats...
