My husband, Garrett (ConchRepublic) is leaving for Ft. Still, Oklahoma tomorrow. He has 10 weeks of basic and 4 weeks of AIT, so won't be back until around Christmas time...
"Lardo" is a BIG 1 1/2 year old neutered orange tabby cat. We have had him since he was 8 weeks old. He is friendly, but not a velcro cat. Does enjoy being petted but doesn't force it on you. Has been around small children and dogs before with no problems. Lardo has been housed with other cats...

Young Bev Davis Splash Maran Cockerel. About 6 months old. VERY big boy. I do not have the extra time to put into him. He needs a lot of space and some hens of his own. Has been housed with other chickens (including a cockerel) and ducks. Hasn't been handled in a while, so he needs a refresher...
Some of our hens went broody, and out of 20 something eggs, only 4 hatched. All are Silkie/Cochin/Key West Gypsy mixes. The first chick died, but we still have three cute little chicks. Today, I picked up the youngest one and....
The little chick has a foot with 5 toes and one foot with 4...
A week from yesterday, DH and I went and got a cute kitten from some people who were giving away 2 litters. They told us the litters were a week apart, but the younger litter was 1/2 the size of the older litter. Also told us that they were eating dry and canned food and using the litter box on...
"Duval" is a gorgeous young Key West Gypsy rooster. About 1 1/2 years old. Came straight from Key West and he is very fertile. Takes good care of his hens and we have also seen him sitting on a nest of eggs. He has also been in with younger chicks with no problems. We hate to sell him, but we...
We have raised chicks before, but NEVER a newly hatched chick. Our Frizzled Cochin hen is sitting on about 15-20 eggs right now, and one hatched this morning. Cute little guy. He wont stop chirping, though! I taught him to drink, but how do I teach him to eat? He has a bowl of feed in the...
We have two chicks about 2-2 1/2 months old that we can not figure out their breed. Would anyone like to help? Thank you
First Chick: Thought he might be a Brown Leghorn or Welsummer?
Second Chick: Thought maybe an Australorp?
We got this chick out of a TSC assorted straight run bin (so probably from Ideal) along with a bunch of others, we've figured out all the others but him. Any guesses?
The other day I got two very cute Pekin ducklings. Friendly, and love to cuddle. I have been interacting with them as much as possible so they won't be afraid of humans when they get older...
Everytime Hubby or I have them out in out laps to play with them, they nibble, nibble a lot. Both...
Can anyone help me identify these chicks? Thank You!
*Sorry quality of pics may be bad!*
Chick 1: Cochin, but what variety?
Chick 2: Cochin, but what variety?
Chick 3: Cochin, what variety?
Chick 4: I believe he is standard, clean legged
Chick 5: Standard
Chick 6: Standard...
We went to TSC today and they finally had chicks. There was another customer at the troughs looking at the chicks, and pointed out a little red cochin. She told us he wasn't doing too well, laying flat out on his stomach, eyes closed, breathing fast, and getting picked/stepped on by the other...
So we have had this Siklie "Moo" for a week now. She has a runny nose (sometimes clear, sometimes has stuff stuck to it). Her feathers get matted from it. It does not smell, but she does open her mouth a little once in a while.
I was planning to show her- but there have been no improvements...
Today is just NOT a good day for us or the critters...
We haven't been feeling good ( I guess we got something that's been going around). The critters have all been OK until this afternoon. We went to go outside to take care of them and do stuff with them, when a HUGE (like 60 mph) gust of wind...
We have a couple of birds that I think are underweight (you can feel their breastbone, very prominent and can feel hips too). We have been feeding them 20% starter/grower mixed with 16% layer three times a day (morning, noon, night). They also get scratch mixed in with the feed, and...
So I got two cute little Silkie hens the other day- one blue and one splash. I gave them a bath when we brought them home. It made them look really good. Right now they are in quarantine for a while because the splash had some stuff going on.
Anyways, the silkies are getting poop, food and...
I just recently got this cute little Blue Splash Maran Cockerel on Friday. Usually I am good coming up with names (usually food related, don't ask my why LOL), but lately I haven't been able to think of cute names.
Any ideas?
