    Review by 'RivaltKennels' in article 'Molting: All You Need To Know'

    Yep all birds molt and they can sure look pretty sad when they do. I wonder if those mite protection medallions they sell would work on an outdoor coop? I've seen them for pet birds before, you hang them on the cage and it's supposed to repel them. I don't think I'd want to wait for my birds to...

    Raising chicks in HOT Humid Climate

    Bay area of Florida here. Just got my chicks July 11th, and had them under a heat pad I use for my puppies, just propped up like a tent. We're into the second week and I shut it off, because they stopped using it on their own. The 70-80 degree temperature in my house seems to agree with them...

    6 month old leghorn pullet violently attacking me worse than rooster

    As a dog breeder, temperament is priority. I can tell you from experience sometimes one is born that just has a screw loose. The advice to cull the bird(read: dinner)is a wise one. You are in for trouble. If she doesn't hurt you bad enough to make the decision, she could hurt one of your other...

    I really don't trust this ai stuff. I'll stick to actual people. If I had a real issue and needed answers fast,I wouldn't be looking on a forum, no offense, I'd be on the phone with my emergency vet.

    Do you think its okay to breed a crossbreed dog in this situation?

    You are breeding for ability, so go ahead! Remember, once upon a time, Jack Russell terriers were bred only for ability, and now they are a recognized breed. Even mutt puppies make wonderful pets, and you will easily find homes for your puppies once they are born. As a breeder, I can tell you...

    Anything we can do??(Dogs keep fighting)

    Spaying will make it worse. You may want to consider keeping them separate in the house on a permanent basis. Each gets their own time. I've managed multiple gals, and gals are territorial. Some do get along fine, but when they don't it will have the outcome of a to the death fight. If you...

    Heartgard for Dogs

    Ivermectin for livestock is OK for dogs, I use goat meds typically, ssince the dosage is closer, though the bulk of what I use is fenbendazole for dewormer and giardia. The goat version is much cheaper for me as a breeder with multiple dogs. I suggest finding goat Ivermectin and looking up...

    Fox removal

    Bb gun. Small pellets sting, but shouldn't kill. Personally when it comes to protecting my animals or my kids, the law is irrelevant to me, I just do what needs to be done and I make sure nobody saw anything. The government won't reimburse your losses.

    Review by 'RivaltKennels' in article 'The Essential Guide to Feeding Baby Chicks'

    I feel much more confident about my choice of chick feed after reading this. Also I find it interesting to note the foods that are toxic to dogs are also toxic to chicks.

     Our girl Bonne Ami, the frenchie, our Chihuahuas, Romeo and Liberty, and my favorite Dobie Magnus, who has since found his new family, but is the reason I fell in love with the breed.

    I have everything ready… except chicks- help!

    I ordered mine from my pet chicken.com. I got the recommendation for them from another lady I saw in a beginner chicken raising video and she said she had really good experience with them, even over other places. You may have to wait for them to hatch, I know mine won't be here until July, but...

    I intend to get my coop next month. I have one I'm getting from a pet chicken site, however, I have good reason to do it this way. I need something light enough to move around, since I intend to move the birds daily around my yard, so they can get all the tastys everyday. I do feel the run is a...
