    Snail mugging (joke)

    A snail was crossing the street and got mugged by two turtles. The police were summoned, and a report was made. "Can you describe your assailants?" asked the officer. "Not really," replied the snail, "it all happened so fast!"

    The Three-legged Pig

    A county agent visited a farm and observed a three-legged pig. Understandbly curious, he aked the farmer about this animal. "That's no ordinary pig" stated the old farmer. "Two weeks ago, my barn caught fire during the night. That pig came into the house, woke me up, led me to the barn and...

    Small owls?

    As common on these posts, a predator has visited my chickens and made off with parts rather than the entire bird. This morning, I found a headless/neck-less guinea keet. They are about 1 1/2 months old. The sticky suggested a great horned owl. We do have owls of several types, I live in a...

    Nest boxes

    DH is building a hoop coop for our guineas. I was wondering if they would use nest boxes that are raised a few feet off the ground, like a chicken would, or do they only nest on the ground? Thanks.. Pam

    Eating older quail?

    We have some older quail, born last fall....that we want to replace with some younger birds. We don't want to cull all of them, just enough to make room for "new blood". So my question is, is there a point when quail become to old to eat? Or can you just cook them the way one would do an older...

    Expansion!

    My original 15 quail are not enough, apparently. I'm building a 4'x8'x5' pen out of pvc and plastic garden fence to move those quail outside and on the ground and will use my current three rabbit cages to grow out the 18 that have been sitting in a makeshift brooder (a large rubbermaid tub). I...

    The three legged chicken

    A salesman was driving down a country road and passed a flock of chickens. Suddenly, all the chickens began to run and keep pace with his car. Astonished, the salesman looked at the flock and noticed they all had three legs! He accelerated his car to 40, 50, and finally, 60 mph. The chickens...

    Terramycin and hatching eggs?

    I'm going to treat my royal palm tom with terramycin and electrolytes for cecals. My hen is currently showing no symptoms but will get the same treatment. I observed the tom's droppings and it was thick and clear with sulpher yellow streaks. My questions are these: Is this treatment correct...

    Turkey egg questions

    After identifying problems from my last disappointing hatch (improper humidity control was a big one) I just started 15 royal palm eggs. Now I have a few questions scampering through my mind and perhaps someone with greater experience can provide some guidance. 1. How often should turkey...
