    Newtochick- what is the Serama in the first pic? She is adorable! That is my favorite! Have you (or has anyone else) got any of those babies for sale around the swap time? I would like to reserve some and I can pay in advance or trade or whatever. Does anyone have Japanese Bantams?!

    Thanks! I will check her out. Drum roll, please.... and the verdict is: 2 huge white ram lambs! I had no whites, so that's cool (yes, I am predjudiced against white animals, but don't tell my dog, cat, turkeys, etc.). Over 12 lbs and over 11 lbs! Yikes, no wonder she was enormous! So the...

    LOL! I had a similar thing happen yesterday... The turkey poult posse was crowing and crying and had no reason for it. They had wedged themselves into a corner in front of some kennels that house the newly hatched babies. These turks are free ranging on 5 acres, there are about 10 of them, and...

    Thx Daze! Got any pics of the snow leopard turkey poults? I am so pleased you are happy with them, I (of course) adore them, so you can't get an unbiased opinion from me. I am sorry to hear about the dying birds! Maybe you can find a little joy in an image of baby lambs? Thanks for the happy...

    No catastrophy here today... yet! I'm sorry for all you whose days went down hill fast (I've had my share so I undestand). I am still waiting on the last ewe to pop. I was talking to a neighbor yesterday and she asked if I can induce labor?! After reading about the prolapsed and egg-bound hens...

    Quote: That would have been my reply too, but I was trying to keep it friendly! hehe. Usually people will let on that they are gonna be trouble down the road, but when they do not you have to take more extreme actions. I sold a pair of sheep to a guy as pets. About a month later he called to...

    That's rediculous. She does not have $20 into the bird. I'm so sorry you have to deal with that! I turn people away sometimes and I never feel bad about it. All I expect is that the new people will adore and pamper the critters like I do! Is THAT too much to ask?!

    Take them all back. People like that are the reason I deliver all my animals. I want to check people out to make sure they are not flakes!

    We had twin lambs born here yesterday AM, and a single born Sunday afternoon. Two more ewes to go, they both look like they will explode if they do not deliver soon!

    2 things... As for the mercy killings of our beloved poultry, I think I am doing my critters a favor when I relieve thier suffering and I hope someone loves and respects me enough to do the same for me if I was in that condition. I will nurse anything back to health, but it has to be able to...

    You can trap a weasle in a have-a-heart trap (live trap). You might find a home for it at another farm without poultry. I worked at a plant nursery where we pampered the weasles to keep the rodents out. A dairy barn might want them. Now is about the time they will be nesting, so if they have...

    Tam'ra of Rainbow Vortex- Missing heads= weasle. Nothing else does that except maybe an owl and the difference in the wounds will be obvious which predator it is. Weasles are notorious for popping heads off poultry. You are gonna have to kill it or relocate it. They will squeeze through tiny...
