Hey guys! Literally haven’t posted here in a few years!
Anyway I raise only silkies in a nice Cleary Barn, concrete floors etc.
But this year I bought layer chicks for some fresh eggs. Unfortunately, somehow, those birds ended up with Coccidiosis. Literally have NEVER had coccidiosis here, but...
We got our turkeys for pets in April of this year. We had 3 toms and 1 hen, so I went and found a few more younger hens. So now we have a total of 7, 3 toms and 4 hens. They are all great and have been friendly. Winter time is upon us, and we had to force them into a building each night we...
I am not new to chickens, and I used to have guineas, but the neighbors dogs prevented me from keeping the guineas cause they traveled too much to be safe. I got the turkeys this year, hoping they would stay closer and eat bugs, and they do. I have decided that I love the turkeys and now have 7...
I have a silkie hen who had an inflated crop for...a while. I thought it would go away on its own and it did not, so I seperated her this last week and have been treating for sour crop. I was surprised she was still alive to be honest, as she is very thin.I have vomited her a few times, and have...
question for everyone who heats waterers. I have two of those large waterer heaters that you can buy at the feed stores, those ones for $50. I use them for my large fowl in the winter because they drink a lot. well, the heated pad that is underneath has come unglued from the bottom of the metal...
I am considering getting some guinea keets next year and raising them up to let loose on our property for bug control. The grasshoppers totally decimated my garden this year and want to avoid this in the future. We only have an acre, and the land behind us is farmland (currently soybeans I...
I have a doe who is probably right around 9-10. We bought our house in May 2001 and got goats soon after, so she would have been that year sometime or early next.
Anyway, she is just the same as always, active running around, eating well, not skinny or anything but is losing her hair. I did not...
I have a Corgi and have commented on my poor Corgi's medical and mental issues in the Corgi aqnd Dane thread.
Well besides all the behavior issues and physical issues she has now started a new one.
First of all - for physical, she has 3 deformed feet, due to the fact that she has almost no...
I freakin hate Wendy's.
I know its a personal issue, but they got rid of my Manadarin Chicken Salad which was so awesome and they told me their Apple Pecan Salad got better reviews.....OMG... WHAT???? I know, it is probably just me but, Apples and nuts have no place in a green salad IMO. I was...
Okay, so I am a 30+ gamer and I love Fable II so when III came out I had to have it. However, I was a little disturbed by the opening movie to it with the whole chicken escapes from cage and gets kicked and tromped on and scorched etc...and then ALMOST FREE lots of times and in the end it gets...
We have been feeding this stray dog hubby likes for about 2 months now. It started out at being out a away from the coop, in a large hay barn, and has progressed to feeding it along side the coop. A blue heeeler looking like dog, possible a Austrailian Cattle dog as its taller. Docked tail...
I am boiling some salsa now but I used tomatoes I canned a year or so ago so it seems pretty runny. Anyway to thiken it up so I can can it as salsa? I drained as much liquid as I could, and I added a bit of cornstarch, should I just keep boiling it down?
I have not posted a mystery chick in a while but got some others now. These chicks all hatched white and I found that "unusual" when they hatched so I am certain that they came from the black pen again. I am getting a new rooster this year so will sell the older but check out these. What would...
I have several silkie roosters for sale in black, buff and white. My breeders are all show birds and have done very well in shows. I have about 4-5 very nice white silkie cocokerels that could be contenders for showing as well as several blacks. the buffs vary in color, from light to dark so...
I have been brooding chicks in my house for several years, going from living room to second bedroom to laundry room. I FINALLY have a brooder room to get the birds out of my house! I still have to move the current residents outside in their cages, but here is what we had to start with
a 11'x13'...
I have some Blue Cream Light Brown Dutch and some Cream Light Brown Dutch cockerels. My original birds came from Jean Robocker and Ken Lee. I have a few that are pictured and 3 males that are younger yet, all cockerels, mostly Blue Cream Light Brown. Sorry, really no females the two I hatched I...
Price is per each chick as I can get $3.00 a piece at the swaps. I have some that just do not make the cut for show, unfortunately, I cannot sex these yet. There are some blue or black, and white some buffs that are looking too partridge like for me so far. One white carries his leg off to the...
Our cat Alf, is around 14 or so. We actually expected him to die 3 years ago, he was sick then. We switched everyone to a different food and he kept going. He had a rough life prior to coming back to us from Hubbys ex wife, he was locked in a dusty barn in the middle of summer in a cage with a...
So, how effective do you guys think Garlic is to rid a person of parasites?
I ask because for like the last year or two I have been ill, IBS, nausea, diahrrea etc and lots of anxiety.
Well, So I started taking vitamins about a week ago again (I forget a lot) and this time I have been taking the...
