    My dog just went crazy, what should I do?

    Well, where to begin? I have 3 y/o, 110-ish pound, female Great Pyrenees, Wilson, that has never caused any trouble. Her only faults have been that she's a little too hyper sometimes, she jumps, scratches and play bites and when I tell her to stop she doesn't listen a lot of the time. she likes...

    what tastes bad to chickens?

    I have discovered that the expensive Cochins I bought recently has an egg eater in the bunch. So far all I've done is put a whole bunch of fake eggs in there to attempt to fool them, but what I'm wondering is there something I can put an egg that will taste just bad enough to them for them to...

    Which Birchen Cochin rooster

    should I keep? #1- this one was my initial pick but I'm not sure. he has the best coloring and probably the best cushion, but his comb is a mess. (he stands the same as the other, he was trying to be tall in the picture) #2- this one's color isn't quite as good, his cushion is good, and his...

    Sex reversal in chickens

    I found this today and I'm finding it pretty interesting! lets see if I can explain this simply and correctly: in birds, the female controls the offspring's gender (ZW)instead of the male in humans (XY) the female basically has all the necessary information to be male(Z), but is is overridden...

    Is blue incomplete dominant or codominant?

    I feel silly asking this, being around the gene so long, but is Andalusian blue incomplete dominant or codominant? I've been researching it and found both. I know all about the percentages of BBS and everything. I'm doing a report on genetics and i thought I'd use what I'm familiar with...

    how's this graph look?

    this graph is a rough draft I made to convince my family that, in the long run, it is more cost effective to keep the best quality birds, as opposed to slightly less. (is this true?) I wasn't able to acquire all data so a lot is just a guess so I'm wanting to know what you would change! PS-...

    Cock fighters!

    on the Knoxville craigslist there is an add for game roosters that states The males of this flock are good fighting roosters. (which I can assume is coming from experience) and it made me quite angry so I sent them this message--- I would like to inform you that fighting roosters "cock...

    I got it to work!!

    We've had this record player for a really long time and the needle is so dull it won't play a thing, but the turntable works fine, so today I decided I would fix it by all means necessary! Well I quickly diagnosed there was no helping the poor needle so I took a sheet of printer paper, rolled...

    can you over-turn an egg?

    I just traded 6 roosters for an incubator!! which I already have and do not remotely need, but It was a good deal! I does not, however, come with a turner. so were going to make one (this should be interesting ) what if we find a slow motor that turns them a little bit too many times a day...

    Incubation period for buff orpingtins?

    Well, My friend and I are having a "disagreement" You see he says that buff Orpingtons take 28-29 days to incubate, and I just can't fathom that! Is there any reason that they shouldn't hatch in 21 days?
