    MN wild Mallard with broken wing

    In summer my neighborhood has a frequent Mallard that waddles his rounds checking out the bird feeder zones. I think (George, as he has been called) escaped a situation with a broken wing. I thought I would share with you all whatever happens. I did check out the pinned post about what is safe...

    Help understanding podcasts

    I'm hoping someone can help me understand podcasts, or at least I think that's what its called. There are some radio programs that I enjoy listening to but I'm not always available to listen when they are broadcast. Many of them are available to listen to online, but my internet connection is...

    Tried feeding wild fish today

    I had some pellet form Betta food and thought I'd see if the fish at a local State Park would eat it. The sunfish figured out pretty quickly that it was food. Then the large mouth bass smelled it and swarmed in. That was cool seeing a dozen and a half beasts swim in at the same time from all...

    Stealth aquarium heaters

    I know there are several people here that have aquariums. In addition to that I know there have been a few people that have made suggestions to use aquarium heaters for keeping waterers thawed. I found out that last week there's been a safety recall of Marineland's Stealth aquarium heaters...

    I had to give up my chickens

    A guy just came and got my girls. I'm moving into an apartment and that means no pets, chickens or aquariums. I've rehomed my lovebird, my dog and some of my fish, but its not until my girls left that the tears started pouring out. Darn chickens! I'm going to miss those goofy little girls so...

    I started dating a wonderful man

    I've been divorced for 12 years this coming July, and I haven't dated anyone for over 6 years. I'm just giddy. I've known him for a little over a year. Actually, I met him when he asked if I had any fish to sell. A mutual friend told him I raise fish. I was totally uninterested in the thought...

    I dropped a Lav Orp egg while candling

    I'm just sick. I only had 4 eggs. Today is day 13. These eggs are the first time I've ever candled. I candled on day 9 and thought, best guess I have, that all was good. I thought I'd try again today to see if I could tell any more then the first time. Be careful what you wish for. It was...

    Robin's nest. Risky or not?

    Look what I discovered in the yard this morning. A pair of robin's hard at work building a nest........in a bird feeder. (Sorry its so blurry. I had to take the pic from quite a distance so I didn't spook them away.) What caught my attention is seeing a robin at a bird feeder. Granted its a...

    Do we have a genetics calculator?

    I did a search and came up with a link to a whole bunch of calculators (not all chickens), but they were in a different language (German?) Do we have a genetic calculator? The angelfish forum has one viewable to its paid members. You plug in possibilities and it gives you results as...

    Can you turn eggs too much?

    The worry-wart in me has me going in every couple hours and turning the eggs. Probably more out of nervousness than anything. Am I doing harm? The temp does drop a little when I go in there each time. Its only day 2.

    Are the chances as slim as I think?

    So I had this wonderful idea that I'd let me girls hatch out some hatching eggs I bought. The idea was that that was my best option seeing I don't have an incubator and I don't have the space to keep a separate area for transitioning the chicks in with the girls. One of my girls spends more...

    Hatching eggs coming. What do I do?

    I have some hatching eggs due to arrive the end of this week. Now that its getting closer, I'm getting nervous. I'm letting my girls do the work seeing I don't have an incubator. My hopes are that the chicks will be accepted easier if one of the girls hatches them. The girls are a year old and...

    Buff Orp hatching eggs

    If you know of anyone who has show quality (preferably) Buff Orp hatching eggs available, please let me know. I'm not looking for a lot, just about 4 or so that I can hatch them out with some other breeds of eggs towards the end of May. Thanks a bunch!

    Buff Orp hatching eggs

    I'd prefer the ones that have tails that are held more upright. I think they are the European ones. I'm just looking for about 4 eggs that I can hatch with some other breeds that I'm expecting to arrive the end of May. Let me know if you know of someone who may have some. Thanks.

    Saw a meteorite last night

    I was driving last night and at 10:06pm and right in front of the direction I was driving was, what my initial thought was, a shooting star. It was bigger though. It started out like a big white blob of a fireball with a long tail. Then it turned green! I said wow out loud. That's when I thought...

    Tricking hens into raising chicks that aren't thiers'?

    Right now I have just 4 hens. I'd like to get some other breeds, but have read that putting youngsters in with adults isn't such a good idea. I'm limited with space and would rather not invest in an incubator, so I've been brain storming on how I can pull it off. Well, pull it off without...
