    Duck ate engagement ring

    TLWR thank you for that encouragement!!! I'm trying to locate a metal detector to borrow. I didn't think anything of it until he teased me that they were eating it. But I googled before posting and it sounds like ducks love shiny things?

    Duck ate engagement ring

    Long story short one of our two female khaki Campbell's ate my engagement ring. How long should I expect it to take to pass through or will it damage the ring to let it pass? They are free range. I have one in a dog crate now and am having trouble catching the other. Tia

    SLW Pullet or Roo?

    Yep, I'd say pullet too. By 8-9 weeks, my SLW roo had big very red comb/waddles compared to others. I do have some that developed waddles, but not red and not very large.... Hth

    The Wyandotte Thread

    I think of the blue gene "like" a dilution gene. Meaning when present on a black bird, it "dilutes" it to gray, two copies present "dilutes" it twice so you get a light light gray to white-ish color. If the bird is black it doesn't carry the blue gene at all. This is just how I sort it out due...

    Can't feel my fingers

    Honestly, 400 is crazy high! Anything over 200 before you eat for more than a day or so is crazy high and the dr should be taking this more seriously. 160 units a day is an awful lot! I think sometimes doctors go "well you're just not eating right so I can't help you" and write it off. Really...

    What is a "breeder?"

    Again Katy, none of this is directed at you. I don't know why every time I post on breeding you take it as a direct insult or critique of "your program"... This is not a "whose more rural than whom" thread. Please put "one" in the place of "you" when reading my posts, because "you" is used...

    What is a "breeder?"

    Well, we're going to have to agree to disagree. I think one can be the best breeder one can be without going to shows, but I don't think that one can be considered in the "best breeders of the breed" without showing. Sorry to offend. Edited for clarity.

    What is a "breeder?"

    Well, I live in a very rural area where the local hatcheries are as good as it gets. Ive been in horses and dogs my whole life, at a higher level, any kind of show within reasonable driving distance is a joke. But maybe I just look at this from a horse breeder's perspective. I am familiar...

    What is a "breeder?"

    ...I had already done that, then I'd probably cut numbers huge and give up my hair appointments. I have found, where there's a will there's a way in *most* cases. I've had to tighten the budget for the horses and I've been amazed at what can be saved. I also have been in the spot where I can't...

    What is a "breeder?"

    Quote: Katy, I have not directed any of my statements at you as a breeder, other than on the other thread I said I thought you have beautiful SLW. You say you don't call yourself a breeder, but I feel I offend you when I say "the best breeders show". I'm not trying to imply you can't raise...

    What is a "breeder?"

    I'm not saying everyone who shows has great bird or dogs or horses... I'm saying showing is an education on what the current interpretation of the standard is. I'm saying showing helps you see how judges are taking the standard. And winning at a big show (NOT a state fair) is some proof that you...

    What is a "breeder?"

    How to become a breeder? Pretty easy if you go by my definition of what a breeder is. How to become a QUALITY breeder (ie respectable breeder)... Well, I don't know about in chickens, but in other areas of my life I've worked for some of the best breeders, and now continue to breed. So, my...

    What is a "breeder?"

    My two cents, from a dog and horse "breeder"'s perspective: Anyone who puts two animals together for the purpose of reproduction is a "breeder"... Puppy mills "breed" dogs... The question is "what kind of breeder"? is the person in question? A responsible breeder and quality breeder has...
