    Need help finding a quote

    I saw a quote on here a while back. It said something along the lines of "it's easier to count your chickens before they hatch becasue they won't stand still after" Does anyone out there know this quote or who said it? Thanks much!

    Donkey question

    I have a 5 year old mini donkey He was gelded just today. My question is...once his testosterone is out (~3 months per the vet) will he be able to be put in with my goats or will he still play to rough with them? At one time I had him in with my billy and they got along well, but Donkey...

    Neo to Go?

    Has anyone ever used the Neosporin Spray on a chicken? I have a hen that was beat up badly by the others. Pulled feathers and pecked bloody. Can't bring myself to use blu kote after reading the high percentage of alcohol...seems like it would burn like anything! She has been removed from the...

    Silly Duck!

    When I went to feed on Christmas night I found my big muscovy drake had been attacked by some unknown critter. The back of his head/neck was "cut" in several places and bloody. Seemed to be a bit shocky but otherwise fine. As a result he hadn't gone to roost with the other two, and I found...

    Can chickens and rabbits live together?

    I have 3 white crested black polish bantams, and the larger chickens are picking on them. The rooster has been living in a crate in my kitchen for the last week since his crest feathers were pulled out. The only safe place I have to put them would be in the barn coop with 3 very large Rex...

    Halloween "Trick"

    At my job, there is one co-worker that knows everything, has done everything or knows someone who has. You know the kind I'm talking about, has to "one up" you on everything...no private conversations allowed without him. There are probably 70+ people that work there. Well....we set up the...

    Scalp Injury

    I think it was done by my other roos. He's eating, drinking, acting fine. I've seperated him (he's in now in a large dog crate in the kitchen). What can I put on him? Is there anything special I should do for him?

    Remote Car Starter

    Is it really true they are now less than $100? I looked at them, I don't know, a year or so ago, and they were $300. I've been looking at them online today and one kit was $79. Is this really all you need? I don't want to buy it and then the package says I need to buy some other piece for $300.

    The funniest thing...

    A few months ago a we popped in a dvd of Kitty Daycare for my cats...my persian kitten went nuts over the mouse segment. So we decided to buy hamsters for him. He loves them! Today, the manx decided to break into the hamster cage. One hamster was still inside, two others had escaped into...

    Duckling hatch

    Here's an off the wall question... When eggs are incubated and hatched by Mama, do they start hatching in the morning and are finished within 24 hours? Is there really anyway to know this? I ask because I want to take the babies from Mama. She was off the nest yesterday evening and I saw no...

    Another Neighbor thread...

    2 Weeks ago I watched the neighbors new 8 month old GSD shred my one and only white guinea. They were horrified, I told them I have plenty others, not to worry about it. Don't know how they did it, but he has since learned guineas are off limits and he won't even look at one when they're close...

    Dumb mating question

    I have a female muscovy, she has already laid and hatched one brood of ducklings. So I KNOW she's sexually mature. Her mate disappeared around the 18th of May. I have some mallards and pekins I got as ducklings in April. I know two of the mallards are drakes. Not sure what the pekins are...

    Don't know what it is, but....

    I'm losing ducks about every other night. Last night it took 4. It's coming out into the middle of the yard to get the ducks. I have some younger ducks in a pen and the older ones (that won't get into the pen) cluster around it to sleep. I find either feathers, parts (the head) or an...

    Baby goat not getting milk

    Had twins born yesterday. Both seemed fine. I watched them nurse, I thought. Today I find baby girl dead in pen. I keep watching the other one and as he is nursing, his tail is NOT wagging and he keeps butting the udder and going from teat to teat. I'm thinking he's not getting any milk...

    Ducklings and temps

    I have a 10x5x6 dog kennel I've rigged to keep my ducklings in outside. The back end has been covered 1/3 of the way up with plastics panels like the kind you would use for a small greenhouse. The front half has hardware cloth. The top is covered with welded wire fencing and a tarp. I have a...

    May be an impossible goat question

    I used a new herd sire last fall. I had 5 babies out of him. 2 were stillborn, 2 died at six weeks, and I just found the last one dead at 6 months. Could it be something he's passing to his offspring? Unfortunately, I can't afford a necropsy and I know that would be a great way to find...
