    Generic Ipods

    Does anyone have a generic version of the Apple Ipod to recommend?? Granddaughter wants one for Christmas, but I think that's just too much for a 7 year old. The features she wants are touch screen, games, voice record, & of course music. There are so many different kinds & I'm just lost!

    I lost my job for doing the right thing

    I was the animal care manager/vet tech at a sarari park. One of the owner's old horses is suffering from what the vets & I assume is cancer. The owners hate to pay for vet care & always find a friend or neighbor to take advice from. 2 vets & I have treated her for everything under the sun, but...

    Aggressive Tom

    We have a tom & 2 hens all grey in color, in the petting zoo where I work. The animals are fed/petted over a low wall...the public has no access to the actual enclosure. As the park vet tech, I have to go in there on a daily basis to check the animals, feed, etc. I've never had a problem with...

    My first-time silkie broody's eggs are due to hatch tomorrow. For the last 3 weeks I've had to remove her from the nest twice a day to eat & drink...she was never off the eggs more than 5 minutes.

    How do you handle an aggressive emu?

    A few weeks ago I started working at a wild animal park & there are emus in the petting zoo area. They are accessible to the feeding public over a waist high wall. The last few days, one of the adult males has been getting very near to my face in an aggressive manner whenever I go in there...

    Changing bators mid-stream???

    Got 24 showgirl eggs in the same day my LG died (before I put the eggs in). We were leaving for vacation that afternoon. I had no choice but to put eggs in husbands quail bator. He keeps the temp @ 99.5, but the humidity at around 75%. I feel the humidity is too high, but he gets great quail...

    He does everything wrong...gets a great hatch

    I just don't get it... DH put 100 quail eggs in his homemade incubator & then never looked at them until I reminded him it was hatch time. This is the incubator we had so much trouble with last hatch because we couldn't get the humidity to come down & my purchased brahma chicks drowned in their...

    Got silkies...they're very thin!

    Picked up 3 silkies yesterday....they are appx. 5 months old. I've never had silkies before, but I really like their personalities!! Knowing how hard they are to sex until they're mature...one has a more pronounced comb than the other 2 so I hope I have a roo & 2 pullets. Under the fluff, they...

    Trust Egg-o-Meter or thermometer temp?

    I currently have 10 bantam eggs on day 13 in my LG styrofoam w/ forced air. I have a Springfield digital that reads temp & humidity....and an egg-o-meter. I checked readings on both of these before starting in a larger incubator for 2 days & both are correct...matching read-outs on those. I'm...

    Fan in bator fell on my eggs!!!

    Heard a funny sound around midnight last night....the fan in my styrofoam incubator had fallen down on my eggs!!! I grabbed a heating pad & covered the eggs while I worked quickly to repair. Used fine jewelry wire to attach the fan unit back to the top ...it was originally attached with...

    Accepted practice or animal cruelty???

    A man in our area that husband knows got out of raising quails last year due to health issues. He offered to give us a couple of large 8 ft. cages he needed to be rid of. When we got there yesterday...both of the cages were covered in heavy carpeting...it was nailed on, completely enclosing the...

    Can't stabilize temps...empty bator

    Thought we finally had it....trying to tweak the bator (no eggs)...temps stable at right around 100 & humidity at 60 for 24 hours. Then everything out of whack just before we get the eggs in. From my previous post on last hatch....we had stable temps the whole time but humidity was too high...
