    Founder Is NOT A Death Sentance for your horse!!

    For those of you with horses, the word "Founder" in the title of this thread probably made you shudder. I know when I was growing up Founder was pretty much one of the worst things that could happen to your horse. It was almost always death sentance for the horse. Not anymore. I want to...

    These are the best pictures I could get of his comb. There are these little black spots on it, and I cant seem to get it to go away?

    First, I joined BYC about a year ago when I got my first chicks from TSC. I still get on BYC pretty often, but mainly just to read (and sometimes laugh!) at stories and such. But, I am in need of some advice, and cant think of a better place to seek help! I bought an EE hen at an auction...

    I have become completely smitten with Wellsummers and I know a guy who has a pair of them. Can someone tell me what they think of this Roo? I'm considering getting some eggs to either put in a bator, or letting a broody hatch.

    I have an EE that I "ASSUME" is the same age as the other EE I got at the same time from TSC. They are about the same size weight wise, but one chick has already started feathering out pretty good on his wings, and the other is NOTHING but down still. Should I be worried? Both are very...
