    San Diego!!!

    ...a mama goat who is only recognizing one of her babies. So milking, bottle feeding, worrying, etc. Going to try to trick her into taking her baby again today. *sigh* Wow, I haven't been to this forum in ages, but it is always my go-to place for chicken info. Susan Thorny Ranch, Escondido.

    Hey SoCal people, on a very long shot I am wondering if there is anyone who happens to be looking for a giant breed dog about 3ish years old. Super sweet with people, I wouldn't put him with small animals or children though. He will kill squirrels/rodents. If you are interested, please PM...

    New Australian Hatching Mystery Egg at Home

    If you are worried about overfeeding, check Basil's keel. The breastbone should not be too razor sharp, nor covered with fat. Babies go through plump and growth spurts so just watch for a trend. I had a chick that wasn't eating and her keel kept getting more sharp (means there isn't enough...

    New Australian Hatching Mystery Egg at Home

    I remember the best part about having ducks as a kid, was watching them in the morning at the fence between our yard and our neighbors yard picking off the snails as they came over. This was after they ate ALL of the snails in our yard (probably the slugs too). Of course they also ate all the...

    clear fluid only in crop of young chick

    I tried a bird suppliment called quicko classic, really wetted down and she finally ate. I honestly think she doesn't like the chick starter. Time will tell. Susan

    I lost one last night, My only white possibly splash cochin. She was just squished under the other chicks and they were just standing on her flat body. OMG I have never seen that. Wicked little creatures. I don't know if she ate something in the yard during field trip time, or if they were...

    New Australian Hatching Mystery Egg at Home

    and yes... ducks CAN jump, quite high. I wonder if I could send you some duck starter from amazon.com in the states? You would probably find something locally before it got there. Before taking the story to the news, find out if you need to have a license. Here it would be Wildlife Rehab...

    New Australian Hatching Mystery Egg at Home

    If you have a small stuffed toy animal, or a clean featherduster Basil will snuggle under that. or even an extra cloth set up in a little a-frame shape. They naturally want to snuggle under something. Just make sure all cloths do not have strings hanging off of them, she will either eat the...

    aw, I'm so far behind I can't catch up. Do you know what's wrong with HALO? Whatever happened with the carefree set and forget hatch that you were doing? Did they all hatch? :)
