Klop that old biddy of yours looks like she has feathers missing on her back. I have one just like yours. Mine is not broody. She is using the nesting box for protection from the roosters. I kick mine out of the coop and as soon as she sees a rooster she makes a B - line for the nest boxes.

@aussiegal318 So sorry about Paddy. That is not an easy thing to do.

It could very well be a golden eagle. I see 1 or 2 a year, usually while hunting in the fall. There is or were resident goldens that wintered along the Mississippi River bluffs in SE Mn. Quite a few years back the DNR suffocated a small lake near my house to kill all the fish. The eagles were...

I live 6 miles from the Iowa border and it is now snowing here. I am not happy about this at all. Snow should be put on the banned words list. It has me swearing already. Hopefully my fingers have more self control than my mouth does.

ok that was the hardest 20 something pages i have ever tried to read. My perfect lil choco lab pup ( replace perfect with any or all four letter words you can think of ) decided to use my glasses as her new chew toy. Looking through my glasses is like driving down the freeway during a...

Hey everyone. Been a little too busy to post with my chocolate lab pup Maizy. I have managed to keep up on the reading. Maizy is a pretty darn good puppy. She helped me clean out the hoop coop yesterday. The division of labor was slightly lop-sided, but she was helping carrying out 1...

I am sure they are not wild ducks. I have no problems at all taking the ducks. I had 14 ducks last year that were rescues. I found out the quite a few of my family likes roast duck as do I. I want to raise some ducks and geese next year. Turkeys would not be and either. I am not worried...

My nephew rescued a couple of ducks after momma was hit by a car in Minneapolis. The are raising up to release them so they can fly south. They don't look like any wild duck i have seen. I am thinking it is a Muscovy cross of some kind. Any one have any clue as to what these are ? I am...

Thanks for the name suggestions, be her name is now MAIZY. I just can't say no to the nieces. Maizy is a really laid back puppy. She barks when she needs out if her kennel to go outside. She played with my brothers dog today with no problem at all, even ran over a licked two cats and...

I miss goose hunting, especially the early season when it is still nice out. It was the late 90's the last time i went with a group of guys i worked with at the time. i have a browning 10 gauge artillery piece collecting cobwebs.

anyone can join in The pup is chocolate lab X german short hair. 60 % nose 20 % paws and legs 10 % mouth 10 % brains hopefully the gray matter percentage grows she is a sweet heart i have walked her off leash right through the chickens all day....... she could care less the...

my pup is just a mutt. I would need to win the lottery to afford a purebred. There is nothing wrong with a good mutt. The designer dogs are nothing more than mutts with fancy names. @duluthralphie maybe you can come up with a designer name for mine.... just so she doesn't develop a...

I would take them too. They are all kinds of vids you can watch on youtube. From what i have seen, basically mini chickens, keep them dry and draft free and they should be fine. I am not 100% sure about this, but i seem to remember a few warnings about keeping them separate from chickens...

@KlopKlop You need to learn to have the 2 fingers closer to the top of glass and not near the bottom. It lasts a lot longer that way. I hope you dog will be alright. That injury sounds alot like what happened with mine, except within in a month she had a tumor the size of a softball on her...

@KlopKlop and who ever else is interested. I found some barley and wheat at the Albert Lea Seed House 1414 W Main St, Albert Lea, MN 56007 (507) 373-3161 50# bags of wheat were around 15.00 50# bags of barley were 12.00 to 19.00 prices were 10 bags or less I wasn't able to get any...
