I got a gorgeous Minorca roo.

I think you have gotten enough advice here. I agree that you need to start with talking to her openly and calmly. I do want to applaud you for opening up about this because of it I will have a serious heart to heart with my 8 and 5 year olds. Neither one really like to take medicine but I would...

I must applaud you guys for selflessly taking on this responsiblity!!!!! I'm so you've had to deal with such loss but you are truly a great person for taking in the/se boy/s when you know they've been troubled. I'm sure the going may get rough but I'm sure you will persever (sp.). People...

The only time my bed is made is right after the sheets are changed. Other than that, heck no, I've got better things to do than make beds.

I had a 20 week old Plymouth Rock x Cochin rooster that I found dead yesterday morning. He had to have died in the night. He was still in the coop and rigor had come and gone. Mr. Fluffy Butt had no wounds, no broken neck, nothing. I looked his whole body over and could find nothing wrong with...

I don't have sebbies but I do have a pair of Africans that are residing with some of our ducks. I have 11 ducks and the 2 geese in a pen that is 15' x 15'. Now my geese are still young (13 weeks) and so are my ducks (oldest is 26 weeks & youngest is 15 weeks) in this pen but so far we have had...

I too have returned to college. Classes start Monday and on Wed. I turn 34. Even though it had been years since I had been in college, they transfer most of my credits. Too bad that when I went before I was going for Architecture Technology and now I am going for Medical Billing and Coding. But...

I think I'll make an eyeball quilt like this!!!! Thanks for posting!

I added one and I'll probably add more in a bit!!! Thanks for the chance! I love blue and splash chickens.

Another route to try is your local livestock inspector. Your horse is livestock, you have his papers and the contract. Live stock inspectors here can enforce laws pertaining to any livestock. For example, if a goat gets attacked by a dog and you call animal control, they do nothing the first...

What a horrible thing to have to go through!!!

You've got to be one proud Momma!!! He's not totally grown but seems to me that you have done one heck of a fine job.

"Hinting is in West Virginia." When I wanted something but wouldn't spit it out. "You've got more excuses than Carter's got liver pills." I think she was talking about President Jimmy Carter. These were different than anyone else's sayings. Oh, there was the "Go break me off a switch and if...

Hi, glad to see you had a good time!!! I was just waiting on you to return to let you know that I did receive the egg scale and I've even tested it out!!! I've got some pullet OEGB eggs that don't even move it a little bit. Huge duck eggs that are ex. large. When everyone is laying, I'm...

I had something similar happen. I have 3 golden laced bantam cochin hens who laid one (yes, one) egg and went broody. They each sat on their one egg and some other eggs from other hens and hatched out chicks. It could be that some of the eggs aren't hers. You could sneak out there at night and...
