I'm pretty sure Coco is pregnant, but wanted to share some photos and what you all think. I saw Bucky try to breed her in August, but wasn't sure if he was successful. Later one of our friends saw them breed in November, but I do question what he really saw and If so, she wouldn't be due...
I just got a new young goat. He is about 2 months. They lady I got him from told me to put him on a leash for a little while to help tame him. I used a long chain and collar and he went wild and fought it until he broke his collar off(maybe10 min) Could he have damaged his trachea? He has a...
Does anyone know the name of the piney looking shrub that grows under aspen and pine trees. It is usually about a 1-2 ft tall and has prickly needles on it. It looks like a little spruce type bush but rather dry looking. I'm trying to identify some truffles I found under one, and it would...
I think these are all roos, but I'm not sure. They are just over 3 months old. What do you think?

I have 6 poults that are a week old. I had a couple get injured back ends to the point of swelling and bloody. I pulled the bloodied ones out a few days ago and have two more bloodied today. I know which one is instigating it and it is now in solitary confinement.
Today I noticed that a...
This morning we found several digging marks around our quail and turkey pens. One digging spot went under the door of the pen. It made a small opening that an adult cat probably couldn't get through. Also I found around the back side of the pen a dead quail that had the insides eaten out...
Today is 7th day since I've put the eggs in the incubator and when I candled I noticed this dark spot that doesn't seem to be on the other eggs I candled. Could this be a blood spot and does that mean the egg is no good. What do you think?
My dad gave me his two McMurray "exotic" breeds from his order. Anyone know what breeds these two are? The pictures aren't great, but the best I could get today. The red pullet in the background of the first picture is the same one in the other pics.
I've been researching dog food tonight. Our 3 dogs have been on Hi-Standard brand dog food. I walk/run them 4 miles every day and they poop before we leave and poop during the walk(sometimes several times), they poop in the evening. This is too much poop!!
I talked to my DH and he said that...
I was taking the dogs for a morning walk and paused to take off their leashes and could hear a kitten yowling loudly across a fence. There was tall grass and I thought maybe something was attacking it or it was injured. I took the dogs home and went to find it. It was still yowling and was...
We picked up these two bunnies a couple days ago from a rescue. I'm wondering if the white rabbit has an eye infection. No drainage, but the lid looks pink, is it just his skin color? Also he seems to squint more than the other rabbit. Not sure if this is just the way he is or maybe he has...
Charlie, my chihuahua/poodle mix, died yesterday and I am having REALLY hard time with it. We had him for 13 years - since he was a pup. I've had dogs that I was close to in the past die and it was nothing like this. I feel like he was my soul's companion.
Charlie was my constant...
I'm thinking about their energy level? Is it off the charts?
We've have had Labs that are across the spectrum. My husband has a Lab that is off the charts energetic and didn't make a good family dog, but we have another lab that is calmer and lower energy and perfect for family hikes etc...
Just want to see what people think and not sure where this post fits in all the topics....but my dad lives in an area that is county land. He has 5 acres of land, 4 of which he leases out to a friend to grow alfalfa and sell as hay. A neighbor who lives nearby owns chickens and lets them free...
3 weeks ago we took our cousin's two hens and a rooster. We originally gave them(2 hens) to him when they were close to a year old(they were acting like normal chickens at the time). At my cousin's place they were living in a shed with a window, but weren't outside for about 6 months.
Now that...
Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I wanted a little insight.
We travel to see my DH's family(brothers, sister and parents) twice a year usually for a two or three days(staying with my mother and father in law). They visit here about once a year.
About 6 months ago...
