I lost two of my girls today. Both have no heads and parts of the entrails are gone. But one is missing alot of meat on her as well. It almost looks like two different kind of kills. I sure hope not because that means I have two predators to catch. *Sigh* My son is getting his ' special bait'...
We did pretty good for our 1st set of duck eggs. I set 11 and 10 hatched. We did have one that passed 2 days later. I think that Kyle tried to 'help' it hatch when he shouldn't have. poor kid felt so bad.
I was getting ready to leave the house today and something said, go give the chickens a treat. I have to walk past the kidding pens to get to the open part of the coop. Low and behold there was Hershey with a brand new buckling!!! It wasn't long and the second one came along, another buckling...
I always considered myself lucky because I hadn't had to deal with any preditors. Not anymore. The neighbors boxer went THRU our electric fence and was caught by another neighbor killing one of my Black Austrolorps. She heard the neighbor yelling for the dog and looked over. She watched her get...
Our order wasn't due til tomorrow, not that I am complaining! All arrived well. Sadly, I do have one that has crurled toes and will need to split them. She does seem to get along pretty well, considering. I will post pics of all my lil fuzzy butts soon. I ordered 12 EE pullets and 12 Black...
I know, not your typical barnyard animal, but we are looking for yet another basset. We are looking for a pup for a christmas present for our son. We already ahve 2 and love them to death, but they are getting older. I am looking for one in Ohio for a reasonable price.
Thanks
I'm going to put Lucky in hte coop with the other chickens tonight. Wish us luck. He is almost 9wks old and almost the size of the smaller hens. I keep saying he, but dh seems to think that he is a she. lol. Guess I'll just have to wait and see.
Dh, brought me home 4 chicken from a guys he works with a couple of weeks ago. One was a banty and dh thought she was the cutest thing, next to lucky and easter..... Any way, my parents recently moved in with us because my dad has heart problems and is going blind. They brought their dog with...
Well, I took the eggs out last night and they were all gone. I had one that had gotten into the air sac, but couldn't pip the shell. Another must have died a couple of days before it was due and the others were dead at various stages. I knew that this batch probably wouldn't make it when we had...
This is the only chick that has servived out of our 1st hatch this time around. there are two more eggs in his group that I am letting sit for a couple more days. I hate to give up hope that they won't hatch. What can we do to keep him from being so lonely? He wants to follow us everywhere! I...
I came home to find my eggs in the house and my 3 mother hens all in a tizzy. DH said that one of the hens stepped on the egg and cracked it, making baby come out that was not quite ready. He said that it was trying to breathe, but couldn't because it wasn't completely developed. So, now I am...
I lost 3 babies today:( They must have hatched when we left this morning for ds game. One was out, another was half out , and the 3rd only had part of its head out. So sad. I have been waiting for them and lost them. I still have quite a few left to hatch and hoping that they will make it. I...
I am so anxious for my babies to hatch! I have got 3 hens sitting on them now. All of the bawkin at me and trying to peck if I try to take a peek. Big momma is the only one that will let me touch her. I'm on day 20 now and can't wait! DH acted as if he didn't really care. Then I found out that...
Boy, I guess I got lucky. The wind that came thru this weekend from Ike really got us clear up here. Our power went out early Sunday, but no one got hurt. The only problems we had was everything is gone in the fridge and freezer. Don't know what to do with all of my eggs. DS says it is 'like...
