    My sweet silkie boy fell in the goose pool

    He was breathing, but soaked and cold and shivering. Brought him in, dried him with a towel and then used the blow dryer on low warm which helped a lot. He is still lethargic, and I can hear a rattle which scares me more than anything ., . . what can I use for him to help prevent pneumonia?

    Do I have boys and one girl??

    These are my geese, I was told the big one when I bought them was the boy and the rest were girls. We don't think so. We think we have either 5 boys and one girl (one has no knob, and a completely different feather pattern on its neck, and its a BIG goose, but shorter and stockier than the...

    After talking about it for four years at least, I did it . . .

    I ordered my chicks from Meyer Hatchery in March for a late April delivery, but couldn't get the breed a friend was wanting, so they arrived the end of May which honestly worked out better, because we STILL don't have the chicken house in place. I have them in a hallway in my house, tarped off...

    A quick and easy supper meal!

    I work in a little mom and pop grocery and people come in and out all day long telling us how they fix this or that, as we have a really good meat counter. A customer came in a few weeks ago and told me he buys the roast beef lunch meat (its a huge piece of lunch meat, sometimes as long as 10...

    Well, possible frost Sunday morning!!! And some unrelated ramblings!!

    I knew it was going to happen, but just not ready for it. Persimmons around here are full of spoons, old timers are predicting we will have snow on the ground before the leaves are off the trees (although when I was a kid and there would be trees late late in the fall with leaves on them, mom...
