    What does this Milkshake look like to you?

    We are supposed to pick up Milkshake on Monday. All the owner knows is that they bought Milkshake from TSC about 3 years ago. They dont know breed or gender. Milkshake will be a pet, but may also be used for "meat rabbit" breeding, we arent sure yet. So, is Milkshake a buck or a doe? And...

    DP roos

    The meaties will be processed way before the extra roos. They are almost 3 weeks, and the assortment came today. I am thinking maybe a 12 x 8 tractor. Would that work for 15-20 cockerels until about 16-18 weeks?

    Hatching different eggs in same 'bator?

    I have some chicken, turkey, and guinea eggs I want to hatch. Problem is I only have one incubator. I was looking online and it seems that the guinea and turkey eggs have the same requirements. Chickens only need less time, but same temp/humidity. So, question is.....Can I put them all in...

    Can chickens and pigs share a space?

    We have 3 hens, a roo, and a 5 mo old pot bellied pig in the pen together. So far, so good. Our coop is two storied, so the chickies go on top, and Sookie (our piggy) stays on the bottom. Lydia

    What breed is my Roo?

    Ok, no poofiness on his head. 10 more days until (hopefully) his little ones hatch and I can see what comes of them. Lydia

    Just set my FIRST eggs!

    Quote: OMG! That would be horrible. Yes, I'm one of those emotional *Cancer* chicks, but even though it was kinda yucky, I still wanted to cry for the poor thing! I kept trying to remind myself that I knew it would happen, but its still sad. Lydia
