    one less this A.M.

    The chicks are two weeks old. One was definetly smaller, and kind a of "floppy". I wasn't noticing any bad poops. Yesterday I noticed it seemed to get trampled and pushed around.

    potbellies for meat?

    I have no problem eating a pet in my house everyone contributes something including the animals. I they are not so good to eat. Are there any small breeds bred for meat.

    yellow lab bad skin what to do????

    yellow lab bad skin what to do????

    My puppy 12 weeks old has dry itchy skin when we first got her we chalked it up to all the fleas that were on her. After a very long time of picking all the fleas off she has been flea free for about five weeks. However the insistant scratching continues. She scratches herself raw and whines and...
