We keep finding our chickens with one of their eyes swollen shut. It looks really teary and watery. Each one that we find ends up dying! We've been putting eye drops in thier eyes but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. If anyone can help us please do!! we really don't want to lose any more...
IMO, 4 weeks is way too young!! We bought our bunnies as babies and the breeder would not let them go until they were at least 8 weeks old, even though they were weaned before then. Moving to a new home is stressful on baby bunnies, so keep a very watchful eye on her!
They are so cute! Bunnies...
There really isn't a specific color we are wanting to breed for (at least not that I know of! ) But my daughter is very interested in what colors produce what colors and so forth. We both love the Tolbunt, but they are hard to find!
Does anyone have or know where I can find a simple chart that tells what percentages you get when crossing colors for the Polish breed? My daughter wants to raise Polish and she is really interested in the color genetics, but it is all strange to me! I am hoping that a SIMPLE chart will help us...
We knew she was bred, so we have been keeping a close eye on her! She made the nest a couple of days ago, but no fur pulling. This morning when we got up there were two babies in the nest but they we already dead...assuming they were born dead or smothered. I was getting them out when I saw...
Hi everyone! I have a question: My lionhead doe just had her first litter of babies during the night. She had 3, but only one was alive. She is still pulling her fur out and rearranging the nest box! Is this normal behavior or could she still have more babies yet to be born?
Please help! I...
I was sitting outside the other day enjoying the chickens, and a fox came right up behind our geese! In the middle of the day!! First time we have seen the little bugger! We did a quick count and it had gotten 6 of our young hens! So now we have a Great Pyrenees and a Pyrenees/Anatolian mix...
I was just wondering if anyone knows anything about it??? I am planning to go, but I have never in my life been to a poultry swap! When I was young, we used to go to the Farmers Market and I loved it, so I am hoping this will be very similar to it. Do you know what all they have? Geese? Rabbits?
Hi! I live in Anderson County, KY and I have one little lone serama rooster who desperately needs a hen! Do you have any for sale and how close are you to Anderson County?
Welcome from another Kentuckian! What part of KY do you live in? We have horse too, along with quite a mix of other furry babies!
This is a wonderful site...I have to limit myself to getting on here or nothing would get done at my house!
The eggs were all layed within the last week. They are by 2 different hens. The thing that worries me is that the temp outside is in the 90s. I know that in a natural setting, this is how things would develop normally. I am just hoping that they are still good!
We have put "eggs" (gold balls)...
