    Eating Lizards?

    We have so many lizards around that when my husband shot one for fun, we decided to see if the chicks would be interested in it. They are less than a month old but loved it. They thought they were in heaven. Now, how safe is this? The pellet was taken out of the lizard so no worries there. But...

    Uh oh I bought Egg Layer and Not Chick Starter.

    I don't know how I grabbed the wrong bag, but I don't have any chick starter left and the new bag I bought is Egg layer. I can't make it back to a feed store for at least a week. The only other options I have other than the egg layer is some regular eggs, "garden treasure" wild bird food, and...

    Best animal to raise for raw fed dogs?

    I have two raw fed dogs, and I'm wondering what everyone would suggest is the best animal to raise to feed them? I'm leaning towards birds, since I don't have a way to store large amounts of meat. I have no freezer. So what bird would you suggest? Just chickens? Turkeys? Or quail? duck? guinea?

    How much land do you free range on?

    I was wondering how much land everyone free ranges on? AND, do your chickens use all of it, or do they primary stay around a small area or around the coop?

    Wet bunny vs hot bunny

    Which is worse. It's warm today and the breeze is about non existent. They are in the shade by the way. I can tell my bunnies are hot so which is better.... Let them be? or put some water on them to cool them down?

    What age do chicks wings feather out?

    My chicks are less than a week old and many of them have almost completely lost all their fluff and now have feathered wings. Less than a week old seems young right?

    Can raw fed dogs eat...

    Can raw fed dogs, rottweilers in particular, eat beaks? or feathers? Is it bad to give them whole birds that aren't dressed? (We normally feed them dressed chicken from the grocery store or hamburger or any beef cut from the store.)

    Cost of feed vs amount of meat

    I'm wondering if the cost to feed the quail is worth the small amount of meat you get? Any thoughts?

    Free feeding vs holding back forcing them to forage.

    What does everyone prefer? Do you free feed? I'm interested in holding back on food and making them forage for their own food (when old enough). We have about 50 acres in the Texas desert. Feeding 30 chickens seems like a steep feed bill when we have so much land. So, free feed vs making them...

    Your favorite non-electric brooder?

    So my 30 day old chicks come this week and I'm getting all the finishing touches done right now. We use solar, and a small amount of it. There is no extra electricity to waste so I'm wondering what everyone would suggest to use for brooding. No propane or kerosene heaters, or broody hens either...
