I decided to join the Army not to long ago. I've always planned on joining eventually, but with today's economy where I am (there are no jobs anywhere around me unless you have a BS/BA in something, even then you don't have much chance), I decided to speed things up a few weeks ago.
I talked to...
My one remaining rat has a horrible dander problem. It used to not be bad but now petting him makes his black fur look white with all the flakes. What can I do to help it? He's always scratching. I was thinking about giving him a bath with selsun blue or some other dandruff shampoo.
I have a very large glass tank that needs to be resealed and I'm thinking about turning it into a terrarium. It's a 270-320 gallon tank (not sure exact size) Due to the dimensions it's not able to hold much water. It's very tall, and about the length and with of a 55 gallon tank. I'm very new to...
Our Gold and Silver Seabrights. They are 3 weeks old right now. I was wondering if it would be possible to sex them at all. Most of the others of our chicks at same age were able to be sexed but these baffle us. These 2 pictures were all I could get because they REALLY don't like being held lol...
What color would you get from breeding a gold seabright and a silver seabright together?
I've tried to find pictures of what they look like but no luck.
Are there any tricks to make a hen go broody? I have a silkie pullet who is close to laying age and a Gypsy hen who is already laying. I know both these breeds go broody a lot, but I was wondering if there are any tips to get them to go into it when I want them to do so. I don't mind if they do...
These have been floating around an area near my house for a while. I thought they might be Rouen, but not sure. Anyone got an idea? I think they might be a little big for mallards.
I've been considering getting a few guineas for a while. We have a bad flea and tick problem here during the hotter months. I know they wont hurt the plants, prefer to roost in trees, wander a LOT, and sound off at just about everything.
So question, how far will they wander typically? I'm on...
I've been thinking about getting some button quail, simply because they look cute and would make a good set up for one of my terrariums.
But I was wondering, why do people get quail? I know they are good eating but the smaller birds like buttons don't have enough for even a chicken nugget. Are...
Two bantams. Chick #1 is white, white legs, but has a beard and the tufts. I think it might be an EE, but not sure if EEs come in bantam size. Chick 2 is black with white, not sure of breed, maybe a Japanese or black orp?

Been worried about what has been snooping around my coop, so while looking for a stand light, I found an old motion detector light. I'm thinking about attaching this to an old extension cord that's missing both ends (picking up the other end tomorrow) and setting it up on the side of my coop...
Okay, stopped by alocal feed store to look for some cheep layer type chicks for some familly friends, they said they had "Amerucanas", JGs, and BOs so we went to look. We weren't there 2 minutes before they wer pestering us about how many we wanted and practically forced us to leave with 3 of...
Okay, we noticed our Muscovy nibbling on the back of our Peking duck. Both are female. The Muscovy mainly targets the neck, and upper back of the Pekin. It reminds me of almost how a dog grooms another dog. We've been wondering why they are doing it. We know the Pekin is female, we believe the...
Rant time...
This part of Florida... sucks... well, Flroida sucks, just this part sucks even more. The economy is in the crapper, there are no jobs for anyone with anything less than a BS in my area, even at Mikey D's. If you don't have a Bachelors in something, even the fast food wont friken...
