So I work at a local humane society and today animal control brought in a turkey poult. I have backyard chickens but never raised turkeys so I am not sure how old he/she is. And not sure on what is fed to young turkeys. I did have someone bring me some of my all flock feed pellets as I didn't...

Something you can look into is vetericyn eye gel, first time I ever had the stuff was for my dogs eye infection that the vet suggested I try. It says its safe for use in all animals eyes. I ended up hatching out a chick with deformed eyes last summer and was dealing with crusty eyes, one eye...

You can make homemade yogurt in a crock pot, you can find how to do it on Youtube, its surprisingly simple.

It sounds like cajeta, I learned about this recipe from Weed 'em n reap over on Youtube, I looks so delicious, I wish I had access to goats to try recipes like this out.

So I am looking to make a chicken noodle soup with 2 small cockerels I butchered, one is a Sebright and the other is a Silkie, they were a little older so figured soup is the way to go with cooking them. I currently have them defrosted in the fridge soaking in a brine. what I am looking to do is...

one way I always think of it, its like when you have a second or a third child, your not replacing your first child with a second, so getting another dog is not replacing a previous dog just adding to the family, its just a different journey. Also might be worth it to make it kinda like a date...

I hear you there, bully breeds are very common in most shelters, and they can be great dogs, but they are definitely a dog that should not be in a family of beginner dog owners, they need a lot of socialization, and exercise, I wouldn't even say so much that they have a high prey drive, but they...

My mutt (1/8 American bull dog and 1/8 rat terrier rest was to muddled for the dna test) does just fine around my chickens, she also did fine around my guinea pigs, and if I bring a cat into the house she does fine with them as well. I can even let her in the chicken coop and all she wants to do...

Plenty of mix breed dogs can do just fine. My dog is 1/8 rat terrier, and 1/8 American bulldog rest is too muddled to tell on dna test, but I can 100% trust her around my chickens, cats, small rodents even though she shows a lot of terrier behaviors, she was even a rescue from a neglectful...

And eventually you can upgrade the temptation to full on chickens, maybe put a chicken in a dog crate and teach the leave it command with the chicken.

So like a person said earlier it's never too soon to start training a dog. What I would do is start teaching the leave it command. With leave it you want the dog to not pay any mind to whatever you tell it to leave alone. To start the training you take a piece of food (like cheese or lunch...

I have something I can use for a kill cone, my problem is I dont know the butchering process and dont want to end up puncturing the stomach or intestines or anything else while removing the guts and I am usually a hands on learner. I will figure it out if I cant find anyone, just would prefer an...

Thanks for the advice, I just dont want to end up ruining a bird learning, so am trying to see if I can find a person to teach me, if all else fails I will attempt it myself though.

Hello everyone, So my flock has been diagnosed with Marek's disease, over this last spring and summer I have collected some birds for a breeding project I was going to do. But now that I have marek's in my flock that went out the window. I have not decided if I want to breed for resistance yet...

So I got my official diagnosis from the lab today and the results were very surprising. They said she had Mareks disease and that suppressed her immune system enough that she developed a bacterial infection (bacteria just from the environment) that took her life. So now I have quite a few things...
