    Dog Training

    I recently had another stray dog come up to the house, a huskey. She seems to be on the younger side, and even though she's nowhere near full weight she is strong as an ox and can drag me here there and everywhere. She also doesn't listen to "no's" or "get downs." It is very important that we...

    I need name suggestions for my new dog (pics included)

    The last time I couldn't come up with a name, I posted here and you guys gave me the perfect name, so I'm trying it again. A stray came up to our house Tuesday, and we are going to keep her.

    Can someone clarify mule ducks for me?

    I don't completely understand how it works. I have a duckling whose dad is a Muscovy and the mom is a blue swedish and brown runner cross. Will it lay eggs if it is a female?

    Are these Pekins or Jumbo Pekins?

    I have had many breeds of ducks, but these are my first pekins. I got them and 4 other ducklings at a feed store in April. I know they are Pekin, but they are HUGE. Since I've never had them before, I can't compare them to anything else. Jumbo or regular? They were so big that the kiddie...

    How Long Should It Take A Duckling To Pip The Shell?

    I had a momma scovy setting on eggs in the neighbors barn. We moved her for a safe hatch, and she quit setting. The eggs were ice cold for two whole days, and I figured that was that. I broke one to see how far they had gotten, and the duckling was still alive. I cried and cried! I still feel...

    Have you ever had a factory hen go broody?

    In February, my Uncle picked up a hen that fell off of a Tyson truck near him. He brought it to me, but its not the first I have ever had. I have also had a Cornish Cross. The first Tyson hen died at six months of age, the cornish cross at eight months. Today, my Tyson chicken went missing. I...

    I have two female muscovys setting right now. One has about eight eggs, and one has about 30! They layed their eggs in great places, and it took a few weeks for me to find them. I have two males, a big male muscovy named Big Louie, and a magpie named Lonley Boy who has since gone missing and...

    Anyone here a nurse? Need your help!

    I have to do an assignment for school, and it was to interview a nurse. A friend of mine took the questions and said she would get her aunt to answer them for me, since I didn't know any nurses. I got sick and had to miss school, and I asked her to email the answers to me. She did not, so I'm...

    How do you stop a dog from "marking her territory" on your carpet?

    I have two indoor dogs. I have a miniature daschund who has had two back surgeries and cannot use her back legs due to nerve damage. I also have a rather large beagle that I adopted in July of 2009. On Saturday, I adopted a small beagle who is one year old. We've named her Sadie, and she is as...

    Tell me about your cell phones. I need advice on a plan.

    On Wednesday I was in a car accident. It was raining, and as I pulled out onto a main street my tires lost all traction and I started sliding toward the side of a church on the left side of the street. Then my mini-suv did a 180 turn and I jumped a ditch and landed sideways on a lady's bank. The...

    I have a broody, what should I do?

    I have a silkie X EE who has gone broody this week. She is VERY adament that she isn't giving up, and very vocal about it. I live in Western KY, and my fear is that they aren't going to stay warm enough if she hatches them. I can put them in a small dog house full of straw and put them somewhere...

    Are roos ever born with wattles and a developing comb?

    I've hatched and bought a lot of babies before, but I've never see one hatch out with noticeable wattles and a developing comb. My momma silkie hatched out 5 babies today, and the last one to come out has wattles and a developed looking comb. I just find it weird, because none of her other...

    What color is this muscovy?

    I'm not good with the whole color thing, and it doesn't really matter to me. I'm just curious because the guy I got her from as a baby said she should turn out to be a lavender, and I wonder if she is? Its not the best pic, but I think It'll do.
