    Mystery chicks

    I bought 12 baby chicks at the local feed store that had been marked down to $2 because they were getting older and new babies were coming in soon.

    Sex-link question about wyandottes

    Dog training question

    We got a new dog from the rescue society about two months ago. She is a wonderful dog, fully house trained, crate trained, and understands basic commands. The problem is about 3 weeks ago, it was raining so she decided she didn't want to go out in the grass to do her business anymore. Now she...
