I want to know if there is a dry dog food that is "good" for my dogs that produces less feces? Don't laugh, some foods seem to produce a tremendous amount of feces while others produce nice and dry feces and less quanity. I have small dogs and this is not a big problem but I have considered...
I just found a couple hours ago one of my Sebastapol geese with a partialy severed/broken lower bill. Has anyone encounted this before - It has quit bleeding - tried water proof tape - didn't work - it digs at it with its feet - any suggestions would be most helpful = no pic's available -...
I love my geese but at times I am totally annoyed with my setup and their attitude toward my instructions!
I keep them up at nite safe and secure but during the day I move them to a pen that is sorta like a chicken tractor - moveable for fresh grass each day with water and chick...
I have a chick that is getting yellowish, chalkish stuff on it's bottom. I have washed it clean twice and it poops normal poop. This stuff covers .50 cent area under the vent. It's not like a normal pasty butt. The chick is eating drinking, etc. If it does it again (twice today) I will get...
I have the instructions for this incubator - will be happy to share if anyone wants a copy. I bought mine used and was fortunate enuf that they had the original instructions. There are 9 pages and I can email them or if your email will accept around 10 mg of attachments I can send the folder.
My best hatch ever!!!!! 8 eggs - 7 babies!!!! Here's their first photo session! Thanks jimnjay, they are gorgeous!!!
I had to put them in this big mixing bowl - they ran in seven different directions.
I heard all my chickens screaming, yelling, beating themselves against their pens - I knew something horrible was after them. The pigeons were trying to escape their pen - I just knew a hawk was in the neighbor hood and had probably carried off one of my very few loose bantams. I looked and...
I was gonna get some real nice clean cute pic's but when they drink the large one goes into a strange act - it would drink then fling it's head back over it's back and swing it's neck from side to side and then raise it's head and go back and get more water and repeat the process. The other two...
I just bought 24 eggs - Columbian Cochin, Blue Cohin, and Silver Laced Cochin Bantams! I cannot seem to stop!!!!!!
I have three broodies setting, I have 60 eggs in the bator plus 4 geese eggs, plus 6 pheasant eggs........Is there a cure?

I recently purchased a great book "Bantam Chickens" by Fred P. Jeffery - First printing 1974 - Fifth printing 1995. On page 123 at the end of the feeding section was this little tidbit:
How to get Rich in Montana - as reported by an anonymous writer in Farm-Poultry (1893):

I just got my four sebastapol eggs - they sent an extra!!!!! great!!!!! Here is picture of them resting - had to put them in coffee mugs - would not fit in egg carton!!!!!!
I am so excited and scared and nervous - wish me luck!
I am not having much success using powdered sugar and plaster of paris with dog kibble in it - they just are not eating it!!!! I have also used the cement and oatmeal.
I have a lot of caged pairs and they waste a lot of feed so I know I am feeding the rats but I have tried to deal with this...
I have some sneezing in some new chickens - no other symptoms - look great, very active so I want to give them some antibotics but I am having a problem with the conversion of mg to teaspoon/tablespoon per gallon!!!!
It calls for 400 mg per gallon - what does that translate to...
