    Who is a good source for this breed in the US? I know Ideal and other hatcheries have them, but interested in some quality.

    My heart is broken, Scovey Hen flew off yesterday

    Quote: Michelle Muscovies take at least 33 days if I remember right to incubate. So being gone a month fits with the time she sat on eggs and hatched out the lot of ducklings. Good chance your hen is working on babies. I mean, our young hen didn't get the memo that it is still winter and...

    Muscovy keepers share your pics!

    Bleenie, beautiful birds! We have the all white Muscovies and one of our crazy hens forgot it was still winter. She got a nest built up way under one of the out buildings and hatched out 16 ducklings last week. Crazy girl. I have her set up warm and cozy now in a section of the chicken coop...

    Ponies in the snow and ? about round bales..

    lilchick, I have used Round Bales for YEARS with horses. We also use a lot of round bales for our cattle. Quality is the key for feeding horses. I keep the fresh and highly fertilized bales for my horses and the others if any that we have questions on are fed to the cattle. Cattle do not...

    Snow in Texas!!

    23 degrees here and covered in ice.....freezing rain all night long. Many of the roads down here near Victoria are closed. Also a lot of the main Highways to and in San Antonio are closed. Snow would have been nice.

    Snow in Texas!!

    19 this morning down here near Victoria. That is not normal here. For you northerners that are enduring snow storms, my prayers go out for you. I lived south of Chicago for many years. However, down here, we are not prepared nor are we climatized to this. Our animals are not climatized to...

    So western pleasure sorta scares me.

    Coming from the working cow horse side of things and cutting in particular, I have to say I have to agree with Rusty on this. I have riden both working cow horses and dressage horses and the only english saddles around here are for the shetland ponies we turn into hunter jumpers to get them...

    My heart is broken, Scovey Hen flew off yesterday

    We have had one of our Muscovy hens show up after a month of being missing. She also brought along her 16 baby ducklings she hatched. They love to set...even when young.

    Cesar millan v. clicker training

    Marine Mammals such as whales have a vocal language much more advanced than horses and dogs. They speak with vocals and sounds. Therefore, clicker type training does work well with them. A lot of them, like whales, are beyond what a human can physically train with leashes or lead ropes. So...

    pregnant mare

    Quote: I have had mares wax and not foal for at least 2 weeks or longer. If you check her milk, look for it to turn white. That is your indicator. If you cannot get anything out, then she isn't even close or has waxed. With all the bugs and heat out there right now, even my non bred...

    Tell me something GOOD that happened to you today.

    My husband is on shore and home! At least for now until he heads back to the rig. Drilling has begun on the relief well. Thankful to all the crew and hard working men and woman out there there were along side my husband and still out there now cleaning and trying to shut in that well.

    Cesar millan v. clicker training

    Quote: Do you have examples of dogs Cesar has caused a serious problem with? Or, are you referring to someone you thought was using his method? I've watched all his shows, and never has he done anything that caused any dog to suffer in any way on the show. Are you privy to inside...

    Cesar millan v. clicker training

    Well, since so many think rolling a dog is so WRONG, I will sadly inform my dear sweet Abby Dog that we cannot play that way anymore. I won't blow kisses on her tummy and let her get to running only to come back and roll over again for more. Then when she is worn out she showers my face with...

    Hey southerners! Anyone else want to go wash oily birds?

    Quote: Not a hero, just a wife and mother who lives with this daily because my husband works in the field. Not everyone understands it until you are there. And just hoping to put the human side to this to help people understand.

    Hey southerners! Anyone else want to go wash oily birds?

    If there is not something a person can volunteer for considering the geography of the area...including lack of hotels and driving there. Maybe someone could think about what can be done for the families of the ones who were lost. It is people like them that have worked so our nation can have...

    Hey southerners! Anyone else want to go wash oily birds?

    Quote: This is EXACTLY what I am talking about when the media and public people that have no clue as to what they are talking about post things and report news. Do any of you understand why the BOP isn't working? Try pushing a pipe into a valve and then expecting the valve to close...

    Hey southerners! Anyone else want to go wash oily birds?

    I am not a cold person, but have been so upset with the media on this one. Many people making sure to state this is BP's responsibility and that they are not getting this cleaned up fast enough. Also that the government stating that they will keep their boot in the neck of BP to make sure it...

    Tell me something GOOD that happened to you today.

    Boy what a nice thread. I think we often forget to count our blessings when life gets rough or in the way of what our normal is. Today, like I have been doing since April 20th, I am thanking God my husband is alive and safe. I am continuing to pray for him and his crew as they drill the...

    My new Miniture horse! Mr. Ed Jr. Rode home in a jeep!

    I would have to say that he is probably about a year old. And the molted looking hair on his rump are two things. One he is probably trying to shed out some hair as it is that time of year. And second he would have better luck at it if he had been dewormed. He is most likely rubbing his...

    Cesar millan v. clicker training

    Quote: Here is a point in case of pushing an animal to bad behavior to get a problem fixed. I have to agree that most owners are not equiped to deal with aggressive or ill behaved animals. I had a horse come in last year who kept kicking it's owner whenever she didn't want to be messed...
