    When should you announce a breed project or color project?

    Another thought is .... if you need more foundation birds to "set" your idea with... sharing and involving others that you trust.... could be a bonding and fun adventure... JMO And the excitement in the duck world builds .....

    Ivermectin for DOGS for Heartworms?

    Just to add to the mess of confusion!! I used to raise Poms - they are hypersensitive to meds and can die over a parvo shot or hypogloc - My vet is a state vet and I asked him about the heartguard - he told me I was wasting my money - I had Ivermec paste for my horses sitting there - he...
