    BAD-LUCK BIRDS

    Okay, so here's how it goes, we buy some birds... My youngest niece enjoys eating "Nana's BackYard Eggs" (I loveingly call them chicken abortions) We get one chick, she's beautiful and healthy, and I get on here and I brag about my little 1/4 Cornish 3/4 Silkie hen... About a year after the...

    too many cocks in the flock...

    Thank you both, I hadn't thought about a bachelor pen. We tried letting our 'semi-bullied roo' out free range, since he enjoys playing with our dogs so much, but when it came time to roost, he didn't like our set-up. we had a cozy nester hanging on the outside of our coop, near the hens nest...

    too many cocks in the flock...

    I didn't feel right about posting in the buy sell trade section just yet, as I'm still on the fence. You see, we got two chicks this year, and after a few bumps in the road they are doing beautifully. The bad news is... I can see a distinct comb forming on the head of our "ressurection chick"...

    Can a rabbit eat Guinea Pig Food...Can a rabbit even be with a piggy?

    I never implied that citrus was better than dark leafy greens, just that on occasion, it's a good treat. But yes, wire floors are dangerous for any small mammal. Toes can get caught, and in the panic can be broken. Good eye watchdogps, you were the only person who caught that.

    Rabbit Emergency!

    To boost her immune system, you should offer lots of dark leafy greens (folic acid) You said you'd prefer no drugs, do you consider vitamin drops drugs? I offer my pigs and rats "sun seed" vitamin drops in the winter, it's got vit C and that's an immune booster. I know what it's like, to not...

    Syrian hamster questions

    I've never heard of latose production being low in young mothers either, if I were in your shoes, I'd watch the babies closely. I've bred pretty much every rodent out there, and my Degus had some problems with litters. I would just keep an eye on the size of each pup, and if one or two seemed...

    Ressurection story

    @ cjwaldon- I'm sorry to hear your little one didn't make it. I really don't know if the near death experience had anything to do with feather growth, but I'd sure like to know. I imagine it could have played a part in it, stranger things have happened. If you ever find out, please let me...

    Can a rabbit eat Guinea Pig Food...Can a rabbit even be with a piggy?

    I once had five rabbits (netherland dwarf) and three guinea pigs and a rat... AND three chickens all living together. The only thing you have to worry about is the pigs (as I'm sure you know) can't synthesize vit C, so there has to be fortified food for them, or lots of treats high in C...

    Rabbit Emergency!

    There's a lot of different things that can cause this, check inside her ears as the most common causes of head tilting in rabbits is mite and/or infection. Her ears should look clean, there should be no swelling or redness. If theres crusty film, and a weird almost amonia type smell, she's...

    Ressurection story

    It's amazing how much these little birds can go through, and still be tough. Maybe that's what drew me to them in the first place, that and of course, the attitude. They're little rotties with feathers! I set them on my "cheep" card table/laptop desk to hang with me and my kid, and they climb...

    What do you think of the new BYC platform?

    I see a lot of negitive feed back, I'll be honest... I like the new site. Mind you, I've never tried to post an auction or anything, as I only have a tiny flock of eight. I can see how some folks would have trouble viewing things on a tablet and other fancy new devices. Every new site will...

    Quote: wow, I never knew that about humans... but then, I hardly ever interact with humans either lol, I can't help it; critters are just more honest. The little poop machines are gaining weight like nothing I've ever seen. We've only had one other chick, and she grew pretty slow. But maybe...

    Ressurection story

    Freaky is right, there's really not a lot i can say, it's just one of those things that leaves you speechless. I really didn't think it would work, But there they are, just fine and dandy. We're keeping them inside till they're bigger, to keep it from happening twice.

    Ressurection story

    we had two chicks, and twelve eggs on new years eve. New years day, we noticed that both hens were on the ground, out of the nest. We had one hen who sat on the eggs, and one who regarded the chicks with devoted care. My father went inside the coop to investigate. He came inside the house...
