    I just need to vent about my dogs

    HELP!!! My dog weaned her puppies and her stomach and all her teats are covered in bumps and blister

    Nyla has had her puppies weaned for a few days. When she stopped nursing all these red bumps appeared and now a few have broke open. Some are purple and look like blisters.

    Soft rubber shelled duck eggs

I give them oyster shell and was wondering if anyone knew...

    Slow growing Rangers

    I ordered 25 Red Rangers from Ideal Hatchery and they got to me around October 20 and did awesome. I was so thrilled with their health and growth rate in their brooder pens, but they seem to have stopped growing. They have constant feed in their coop and free range all day. Some just seem very...

    A cough that won't quit!

    I have a huge variety of chickens, young and old. Everything was fine, they were picking my property clean of bugs, laying eggs, and giving me hours of entertainment before I brought home 4 ostralop pullets to add to my eggs. They all seemed healthy at first, and the guy said that they were all...
