    Wasting disease in Freedom Rangers?

    I bought my Freedom ranger chicks back in November with high hopes of beautiful plump tasty meat...There is a FR thread with pictures and talk of when my birds arrived and my excitement.

    Tomatoes growing inside tomato

    This was purchased from Walmart as an "on the vine" tomato about three weeks ago. It was sitting in the window over my sink. We were going to have BLTs for lunch and when I picked it up it just didn't look right with its bumps. Then when I sliced it, it was full of tiny plants. I then pealed...

    DARK Rhode Island Reds

    I had read several threads on the "dark" RIR available at several hatcheries but never really saw enough pictures to satisfy my interest in how they turn out. I am aware they are not a separate type. I am just curious as to how much darker they will be than a regular RIR (not a production red)...

    Is this fowl pox? or fire ants?

    I had a young chick acting sick (moping, sitting alone and not eating) about three weeks ago, one eye swelled shut and now she is blind in the eye but acting normal. I am now wondering if it was a lighter case of the same thing. Today I found an older pullet about 6months acting sick, sitting...

    Weeder Geese not weeding!

    This is the second time I have owned geese. The first gaggle acted completely different! Raised similarly from goslings by hand (human as mother goose).

Beginning this fall the Tom has become horribly aggressive. He started out by attacking the roosters and cornering up the 140lb Bulldogs. NOW my daughter...

We tried to pump it empty so we could clean it but after running the pump for 15 min at about 9 gallons a min it did...

    What can you tell me about Bottle Calves?

    I am going to go look at a couple of Dairy calves tomorrow. My goal is to have a couple of milkers for personal use and excess for other animals. My understanding is it is better to buy babies so they are more trustworthy as adults. I have also read this is a horrible time of year for babies due...

    Guinea eggs under a chicken after being in a bator??

    We had a lot of storms yesterday and the power went out and I was afraid everything in the bator would die as time ticked on so I put my guinea eggs under a broody hen. Not sure if they will survive the transition. They were sitting upright in the bator and now laying sideways under a hen. My...

    Poult with eyes shut

    This has been my first year hatching my own Bourbon Red Turkey Poults. About 15 so far spread out over the last few months. Most are a little slow so I keep them indoors with us and with a chick to help them eat and drink, however they generally do well by two weeks old and I move them to the...
