TSC has given my coop mites!
Opened the nest door and they're swarming all over the coop!
What do I use to kill them? Do I need to spray the birds? They seem unaffected by them. But they have spread onto my dog & they come off onto me when I play with him. Ugh
NOT the mini white meat bird.
Looking to see if anyone breeds for miniature or bantam turkeys??
They make banty ducks, why not turkeys?
Turkeys are more interactive than chickens, but are huge. Hoping someone, somewhere, is breeding for a banty gobbler.
Husband wanted to try out turkeys & I told him they'll be dinner...but, idk if he really gets it. I have to feed & care for them, but they're his reality check.
Anywho, so now we're "fancy" coop people.
MIL bought a coop & auto door for them. Waiting on delivery.
Husband got 3 white turkeys &...
I've always read that bigger breeds of geese can hold their own against a fox. Is this true?
I gave up all other birds because it was either always penned or risking getting eaten.
We have two dens, one on farm, other across the creek.
If it's true, how many do I need? Will I need a male as...
Anyone know what happened to the pet chickens of Va forum?
I'm trying to find geese, but the forum seems to be closed and their FB group no longer allows sale/buy posts, fudge, so I need them all to go back to forums!
😭
Went to TSC for feed and, well, I failed. Fiance probably wont be too happy, but then again, he's sick in bed for now.
All but one is straight run, so no idea if it will be a hen or roo. Hopefully, only one is a roo, rest girls, so I can keep them all!
Two Silkies, a red layer pullet, 3...
We have one Mulberry tree in our yard & several Sycamore trees on our farm, these are the only trees we harvest from. We do not spray our trees or the grass. Roughly half inch thick, some thinner or wider, about 9 inches long.
Each boxful is $8 shipped.
A boxful is 25-35 sticks.
Price is for...
Anyone here breed rabbit for meat?
Please, no bashing and no 'pet' rabbit talk or photos.
I raise rabbit for meat, found a thread just a few minutes ago about GPs as meat from a few years ago and wondered about rabbits and the forum members.
So, anyone else do it?
TSC does not have Tylan 50, just the 200 and that costs $33, not worth it.
I do have a bottle of Penicillin, can I use that? If so, how much and where do I inject it?
This is a Pekin duck, not fully grown and was attacked by a stupid fox about a week ago.
He doesn't want to die, been moving...
We have one Mulberry tree in our yard & several Sycamore trees on our farm, these are the only trees we harvest from. We do not spray our trees or the grass. Sizes range from 2cm to 1 inch thick, about 9 inches long. Freshly cut with bark left on, trimmed and ready to go!
In late Spring and...
I'm not asking what happened and how to fix it, more so if I should go ahead and put it down now or try and help it get better until butcher day, which is in 20 days, btw...
The other ducks managed to trample it and it hurt its hip or knee, I've isolated it w/its own food and water. It doesn't...
How can I add multiple pictures with out clicking the button and adding each, individual image link??
I like to post 15-20 pics at a time to update everyone, but now it's IMPOSSIBLE. ughhhh
Pictures from today and others from this month!!!
My Babydoll Southdown sheep.

Hello all!
I'm just letting everyone know I am getting rid of nearly all my chickens and the two Guinea hens. I'm not getting much for them, there is no market for chickens, no idea how the rest of you manage to sell $10-15 birds! All I'm getting is $15 for 10+ birds and over all smaller feed...
One of my Grimaud Hybrid Pekins is shaking. It also walks really weird, seems to have issues with it. Its chest is way down near the ground and it's butt up high, tail is tense and raised over it's back trying to keep balance. It's walking a little stiff on the right side, too.
Idk if it will be...
Can we please add sub sections to Duck, Geese, etc? Like we have for chickens, housing, food, health, etc??
Having all duck related Qs all together is just madness.
And so many of us have ducks, too, not just chickens!!
They came in today, different Post Office, but w/e.
One was DOA, but the lady said I'd get a refund.
Rest are really active and already made a huge mess in the 40 breeder aquarium!
Overall, so far I'm happy. Not happy with the PO though.
what!? I hate this year, nothing but Hell!
I found feathers this morning, missing Mallard....Just another thing to add to my list. I am so ticked off!!
