    Giant Rats! 2lbs! Graphic Pics

    I travel to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba every so often and they have a giant breed of rat there called the Gitmo "Banana Rat" which is bigger then a racoon, they can get up to 20 pounds! Basically its a super rat on growth hormone. Its kind of a funny rite of passage when someone new on the island sees...

    Frogs and Toads

    Its been raining a lot in South East Florida and there are lots of frogs and toads this year. A few of my more adventurous chickens have recently started catching and eating any frogs or toads they come across. The largest one I have seen eaten so far was about a tennis ball size frog...

    it's hot!!!!! help!

    Quote: Spraying your birds is a great cool off idea for many parts of the country but it does not help if your area has high humidity all you'll get is a bunch of wet and hot birds...Down here in the humidity the best thing is make sure they have lots of cool fresh water available and shade...

    Scalped by Tornado

    Just wanted to post a update on my scalped EE chicken, Buttercup. She is now doing fine and is even friendlier from all the attention she has been getting. We had to keep her inside the garage with the AC going for 2 weeks so the wound could heal right without the rain and dampness. Amazingly...

    My fear would be attracting ants and other bugs toward the wound.

    Scalped by Tornado

    Yesterday afternoon MY EE hen Buttercup was alone in her small solo coop when we had a bad thunderstorm kick up a mini tornado that went right through my yard. It tossed the little coop with Buttercup still in it about 10 feet. When we went outside looking for all our birds they were all safe...

    Our funniest name is "Stretch", she's a gold sexslink . We named her that because when a peep she was always stretching to get things and see what was going on. kind of a curious george type chick. What's really funny is now she lays huge eggs regularly. Double and even triple size ones every...

    weird bird + pecking order????

    Quote: Inbreed, thats an interesting reason to explain their offness. I got mine from a local feed store so have no idea it thats the case with my bird. She was totally normal as a chick though. She is about due to start laying soon (the Wyndottes we got with her just started) so it will be...

    weird bird + pecking order????

    I have a bird thats the same way, just kind of different from all the others. She does the half open mouth thing often and runs kind of spazzed out. she is our "Nerd bird" as my daughter calls her. She has the small coop all by herself, during the day we let her out and she avoids all the...
