    How to wean bottle baby lambs

    Hello all, I have 2 bottle baby lambs that are 1 month old now. I want to start weaning them but I can't get them to drink water out of a bucket. They are eating grass and they started nibbling at the sheep feed but what they really want is their bottle. I try to get them to drink water out...

    My Cornish X's are laying

    Hello all, I have about 15 Cornish X's that didn't get butchered last year. (weather turned cold and I ran out of room in my freezer.) They are about 10-11 months old now. They are free range which I suspect has helped them live this long. They run around all day long and they explore every...

    Any sheep experts out there

    Hello all, I tried to find a good sheep owners forum/message board but my searches didn't turn up much. I have a bottle baby lamb, about 2 weeks old now. My usually very loving lab bit him last night on the head. Now he has an infection, fever and I'm trying to make sure I do everything I...

    Why are my birds dying? UPDATE Laryngotracheitis

    Hello all, I haven't posted in awhile but I need help figuring this out. Mixed breed and age flock affected. No symptoms until I find them either dead of half dead. If they are still alive when I find them I have about a 50/50 chance of saving them. I thought at first I was losing them to...

    Nothing like a bunch of chickens to keep you warm at night

    I spent the night in the barn last night because my goat was getting ready to kid. I had all of the lights off except for the red heat lamps in the kidding stall. (guineas get too loud when the lights are on.) The sheep were making a ton of noise so I got the flash light out to see what they...

    Where do I get a necropsy?

    Hello all, I've lost about 10 chickens in the last 2 weeks and I'm beginning to think they might have a disease. They don't have any outward symptoms that I can tell. I just find them dead. They ranged in age from 6 weeks to 30+ weeks. Some I hatched myself and some were day old hatchery...

    Hello all, I've got 40 eggs in the bator from Lisa and Jodi. They aren't due to hatch until tomorrow but I opened the bator real quick this morning to make sure the humidity was still up and there was a lone baby sitting there looking up at me. I guess I've got to get my brooder ready! Take...

    Lisa, All of my babies are dead. I don't know what happened. They were fine yesterday morning and my son found them all dead yesterday after school. They were all intact so nothing killed them. And they were all acting just fine. Eating and drinking fine. The only thing I can think of is...

    I lost 2 guineas yesterday

    These birds are so stupid! Anyway, my guineas, turkeys and meat birds all free range at my farm. In one of the empty horse stalls I keep the feed in plastic garbage cans. One of the lids had a small crack in it the day before yesterday. I made a mental note that I needed to get a new lid. I...

    SAD, sad, incredibly sad day!

    Hello all, Yesterday was one of the worst days ever. I have 5 horses. All the horses are what some people would call "throw aways". Horses that their owners thought were no longer useful. Instead of sending them to auction they were given to me. They have health problems or behavior...

    How does a hen regulate humidity when hatching eggs?

    My DH won't leave me alone until I find out the answer to this question. He won't let me by with the "that's nature" answer. He wants something more scientific. Anyone? Thanks. Tami

    Check your prescriptions!

    Hello all, I just caught an error that could have seriously jeopardized my 10 year old sons health. I just refilled his RX through Walmart online. His Dr's office had just called in the renewal of his presciptions last week. I didn't notice that the name of his medication refill was slightly...
