    !! 4(ish) WEEK OLD DUCKLING WITH MAYBE A BROKEN LEG !!

Especially because it’s inevitable your ducks will eat some bedding- they all do, and then they’d get real sick- from what I understand. I haven’t see firsthand, but I heard...

    Thank you so much for your quick response... unfortunately unless I pay a cost that is far too extravagant for a disabled single momma not receiving any benefits or govt a$$tnce to afford. "You have to be a "gold" member to start your own threads" I believe is what I'd been informed when I...

I was desperate to get my hands on some marans chicks... I finally found a few, but the only date they weren't "sold out" on& that was in...

    Thanks bunches! I live in Tahoe, on a solid granite substrate which has only aquired the most depleted of strata over time- a silty barren nightmare once the snowmelt rears its unforgiving head.

    Human deterrent against bobcat?

    Lost our favorite chicken to the bobcat in our hood... didn't even know we had one again after a collective effort and a ranger sent the last one packing.
