Sorry about the size of these pics. I don't know how to make them any smaller. :hide
Anyway I was given a dozen eggs by a friend whose sister has an npip certified farm/hatchery and they were supposed to be either golden laced or blue laced wyandottes. He couldnt remember for sure. However...
Okay I have a homemade wood cabinet style incubator that I want to seal. I dug around and all I have on hand is Thompsons deck and Raincoat oil based with the antimildew stuff in it. I'm not really sure about using either one of these because I'm afraid they'll poison the eggs. Will they be...
Okay so about 2 years ago I got a pair of geese right after laying season. Male and female for sure. Well I kept them and the next spring she laid 2 eggs by June. In June we moved to louisiana. I knew the stress alone would make her stop laying, even though my chickens and turkeys didn't...
...is probably about 30 in all. What do I need to know before I get them? Best feed? He feeds scratch, but aren't they supposed to have special feed? Problems housing them around chickens? Any info. hints or tricks to taking care of them will be appreciated.

I have chicks hatching out of unknown eggs that my dh brought home from work. He brought home 10 dozen. I put in about 7 1/2 dozen. They guy didn't remember what breeds he had, just that they were pure and good layers. However I am not sure that he kept his breeds seperated, so these chicks...
I was given some White rockchickens about 3 weeks ago and have been battling some kind of sickness with them. Two died, two pulled out of it. About 5 months old approx. not sure exactly. They are Lethargic, fluffed, not eating, and have a watery-white stool with hint of dark in it.Have...
I got a chicken given to me and it was skinny when I got it and now it is weak with a thick pus looking stuff in it's eyes. It doesn't have a runny nose. It stands with it's eyes closed. I gave it some organic dewormer, yogurt and sugar water. Tomorrow i will give it some ivomec.
Okay yesterday i had 15 6 mo old white rock st. run chickens given to me. I can tell that they are mostly roo's, but there are a couple in there that have the hen face, but more roo looking tails. They have smaller heads with small combs and wattles-like a hen. They also have two longer...
Is there anyone here that is in alaska? If so I have some questions. 1. How hard is it to survive there? 2.Can you keep livestock-goats and chickens and such? 3. Prices of homes? Okay I googled some of it, but I want to hear from someone there. I am in AR and have never been up north other...
I don't know what happened to her but my neighbor was complaining about my animals(in my fenced in yard) so I put the geese up in their pen yesterday. She appeared to be fine and fussed at me. This morning the she appears to be dying. Right now I just need to know what I should be giving it to...
Okay so I just hatched out some "pure" ameracaunas which I know know are EE's but aren't EE's at least supposed to have green legs? These are properly muffed, different colors and yellow legged all except the darkest one that is green legged. Both parents are darkish(maybe green) legged and...
Guess what my neighbor has a problem with my chickens and with apparently everything else here. I want to make sure there are no laws agianst having them. I don't think there are since some other people down the road have them too, but i want to make sure since she threatened to call the law...
When we lost our house to the tornado we stayed with family and the only things I could bring were the dogs. I safely(I thought) penned up in steel panels my goats and sheep. We lived in the woods with no neighbors. My chickens ducks and geese were put in a shed with a wire door until I could...
I am going to have nightmares now after watching a scary show on the history channel about some kind of flying things and some kind of dog things. The first in mexico and the other here in the US in Maine. Sheesh. I tried not to watch, but my dh would not turn the channel and I just couldn't...
I just bought about 28 rabbits (babies and all) One of the does has only one baby. It reminds me of a frog. It is about 2 weeks old and has a protruding (frog like) belly and is thin in the back. I want to know if it is safe to deworm and with what? I am afraid if something isn't done it...
Okay, first of all I have a used Lg still air that I bought with some chickens and feeders, etc. Well, I used it once and had a poor hatch. I stuck it in the barn loft for the winter where it was nibbled on by rats who ate two holes in it. So when I got it back out I figured it was ruined...
I would like ot find a pet quality english lop buck and would need it shipped to arkansas or if it is in LA then can possibly pick it up. We do not show so pedigree, etc. are not needed.
I did a search and couldn't find anything very detailed on the subject. i pulled the plug and gauzed it, but dh said he thinks I will have to lance the entire foot to make sure to get it all out. He said it can run deep. I have never had anything to get it before so it is new to me. I...
