So sorry for your loss. I lost one of my little Shih Tzu and have another who is getting old. I know how much you miss her and how much its hurts to lose them. She was a beautiful little girl.
We breed German Shorthaired Pointers. They are very versatile and can do much more than hunt birds. The degree of versatility might depend on bloodlines to some extent. The original German dogs were bred to be much more versatile than an average bird dog but not all show those traits anymore...
When our Bloomsburg TSC had them last year I believe they were in a bin listed as assorted bantams. We figured out from looking at them that they were white Silkies. I actually loved those birds better than any I bought from Show breeders. They were very white and fluffy but I could see their...
I bought some Silkies from Ideal but didn't like them at all. Many of them had no foot feathering or crests. I bought a dozen from TSC and loved them. They were all whites and just exactly what I wanted in a Silkie. They had nice crests, and most had pretty good feet. They were pretty...
Hi I am hoping someone here can help me. We have been told last year just as my Mom was getting real sick that we can not have chickens after having them 4 years on this property and my Mom had them most of her life at her Moms home . I am 19 years old and have some disababilities. I can not...
Most of ours from them lay the blue or green eggs, but a couple did lay a light brown or pinkish tan . They lay a good sized egg and are good layers.
I just wish they had more of a variety of colors. Most are that brownish color . Some do not have muffs but still lay nice blue eggs.
A couple...
This is an old thread but I see your post is from yesterday so I will answer. I did get Silkies from them but that was two years ago and the quality was not nice. Most didnt have feathered feet and some had no crests. You can ask them about this if you want Silkies.
Maybe they improved...
I had an Afghan Hound that had the same thing happen. The vet drained fluid from them , but said they they came from sleeping on hard floors. The vet said they can come back, but we kept her in our room at night instead of in the kitchen and they were gone after a while.
The others gave lots of good advice. I just wanted to add that my daughter's Brittany whelped her litter on day 65 after the one and only tie. Mom and Puppies were fine. We were really worried, but the vet said wait until day 66 and see how things are.
The Mom was acting fine and eating good...
I think roosters are really hard to place. I have been trying to give mine away for free for about 6 months on Craigslist. I tried at first to get 2.00 for the purebreds but found even free there were no takers. I gave up there.
I could not even give away some beautiful little 4 month old banty...
Many dogs from shelters or kennels will have both coccidia and giardia. I have seen giardia cause a soft pudding type of stool with blood just like from coccidia. Giardia will not show up in a regular stool test, and many vets that do not check for this will only see coccidia and never know the...
I have a couple roosters who will only mate to the white or very light colored hens. I feel kind of bad for the hens because they are getting mated all the time and looking a little ragged and the black, brown, red hens are almost never mated by those couple of roosters. The other roos seem to...
We got ours in April and the other order was January . We had heavy losses in both orders and lost most all of the banties.
We got one order of standards {pullets special priced] that did much better and only 2 losses. The rest of those pullets are doing great and paying now. We also got ducks...
