My beloved dog has been diagnosed with Lymphoma. I fear it has been going on for quite some time. Her leg swelled about three weeks ago and I took her to the vet who thought it was probably just an injury. The leg was still swollen when I took her back to the Vet this past Monday because all...
I think Dexter is part silkie. She has five toes and a poof on her head. I don't think she can see looking forward due to the feathers. Should I trim them and if so, how?
Here is a pic of Dexter when she was about six weeks old
And this is Dexter now
I let my chickens out to free range in the evenings when I get home. I have one 14 week old that I have found roosting in a tree near the coop when all the other chickens have gone into the coop(s) Any ideas why she would do this?
and I feel such a sense of loss. I bawled like a baby during their vows and I just can't seem to shake it. I raised my son for the most part alone. We were/are very close, some even said enmeshed. When he becomes president, the tabloids were suppose to read "President moves mother in as...
I let my four 14 week olds out to free range last night for a couple hours. This is the second time I have done so. I did go out a little later than usual to close them up, about 9:00 p.m. I wanted to check out our new solar spot light so I waited until dark. Much to my dismay, there were...
I bought four chicks at a swap. I had asked if anyone was selling ee chicks. The gentleman said that he had "mixed" chicks and that all of them were hatched from blue eggs. Of the four two have yellow legs. One has greenish legs and the other kinda pinkish legs. One chick has five toes and...
Does anyone have pics of saddle feathers coming in on a roo? I think my Caramel is a roo. It looks to me as if saddle feathers are coming in and I would like to see some on another roo. Caramel is about 11 weeks old.
I lost my favorite RIR, Tri to a dog attack on Sunday. Of course it had to be Tri. She is in my avatar. I had let the hens out to free range. I only do it in the evenings when I am home and only for short periods of time. It wouldn't be so bad if it was a wild predator but it was the...
Three of my new chix they are all "mixed breeds" hatched from blue eggs.
Dexter..Notice her funny hair do? Dexter also has five toes (hen)
This is Dexter and Barbara (hen)
And then there is Spaz. I think I see pointy hackles and saddle feathers, Roo?
If a "mixed" chick is hatched from a blue egg is it an EE? Can EEs have yellow legs? Just got four chicks who I thought were EEs but now I am not sure!
Can a laying pullet suddenly become an internal layer? I have a BR who has become lethargic, standing alone, and being picked on horribly (the others have drawn blood on her comb). I know they all were laying at one time. I'm thinking she is egg bound, I soaked her butt, lubed it with oil...
