    DEAD Ducks found with maggots in their vent

    Are there any oral wormers waterfowl can take? I'd give that right away, then I would change pastures/pens for a couple of months. A lot of rarer diseases and health problems with people and animals are under-reported and not widely known. I had a carrion eating beetle invade my leather seated...

    TSA has need to frisk a 6 year old!

    You are probably right about the speech, but at least they could cut out the part about the seat belts. I do apologize about the minimizing the good work the flight attendents do when I'm really irked with the scanning devices and the few taking advantage of horrible actions of terrorists...

    Premature Pip

    How early can a chick pip and survive? I was turning my eggs today and noticed a hole with yellow goo running out and thought, "Oh darn a bad egg blew up". I picked it up getting ready to throw it out then I noticed a bill and a thick membrane and fresh blood. The chick was flooded with...

    To the person in Alabama looking for silkies

    A feedstore in Huntsville called Garvins is loaded with silkies. They had 3 or 4 trays of different colored silkies that looked pretty good, with uniform colors in each tray. That said, I'm no silkie expert, just they looked healthy and each group of maybe 25 chicks all looked alike like...

    Please help, will she make it?

    Better keep her warm and rested. Resist fiddling too much and give her a little time.

    Quiet Rooster project

    I had a big ole light brahma roo that had a very soft crow. He hatched out the same time as some ducks and considered himself a duck and even um err...even dated a lady duck.
