    Male American Guinea Pigs - Located in NE Ohio

    I have two male American guinea pigs available born on 03/18/15. They were just weaned and are doing well eating and drinking on their own. Price is $10 each but I would really like to keep them together since they are still young and bonded. All of our animals are handled daily from birth...

    A Christmas Tragedy

    I posted this story on my Facebook page but since nobody there understands my love of chickens I have decided to share it with fellow BYC members to get it off my chest, as it were. I've been mulling over it ever since it happened... what could I have done to prevent it? Why did it have to...

    RIP PENNY

    I haven't been on for a while til today due to a hectic season. We finally lost 7 year old Penny, the crossbeaked hen I wrote about last year. We are not exactly sure from what. When we went out to shut up the coop and close the barn door for the night, we found Penny in with the goats. This was...

    I Need Goat Help

    So I have a 4 month old Alpine doeling who was acting very lethargic since I bought her when she was 10 weeks old. Then she started having diarrhea about a month after we brought her home. I tried baking soda for bloat, deworming her and giving her vitamin b and probiotics. Nothing worked...

    Quail Facts for Beginners

    Well after finding out that a hatchery I've bought from in the past had a salmonella outbreak the last couple years (which scared me because I was going to order ducklings either this spring or next), I have to share some thoughts about why I LOVE quail. First of all, to those of you new to...

    Anyone Expecting Ducklings?

    Wasn't planning on getting anymore chickens or ducks this year since my coop is maxed out, however DH decided to get me an early Valentine's Day gift and bought me a new coop on the condition that he gets a blue Swedish pair! Thinking about ordering some snowy Mallards, crested Mallards and East...

    MFFF FARM

    I would just like to share my story after reading so many on the new member introductions so here goes... In 1997, my uncle went down to Georgia and brought me back a special gift. Expecting one of those state license plate keychains with my name on it, I instead found a box sitting on my porch...

    Homemade Egg Candler - Cost About $5

    After I decided I'm not going to pay $20 or more for a candler, I fashioned one of my own. All you will need is a box (any small box will do, I used a pop tarts box because it is made of thin cardboard), a small flashlight, tape and scissors. Total cost? About $5. First I cut a small hole in...

    Selling/buying hatching eggs on ebay

    So I've been with ebay about 4 years now. Through over 600 transactions I've had mixed experiences. The majority are pleasant and a lot of people will even contact about their hatching success (the ones that don't I assume that no news is good news). However there are a few iffy people I've...

    Special Needs Chickens - Stories & Pics!

    This is Penny. I picked up Penny and her sisters from a hatchery we traveled to. We were originally going for poultry supplies that weren't available at our local farm store and weren't planning on picking up any chicks since our coop was already full but they were irresistibly cute. The...

    Let's See Your Chicken Coop Heaters!

    Ok so I've seen a lot of threads started in regards to whether or not you should heat your coop, what with the upcoming winter. Since I raise Seramas, who act like they're freezing to death even when temps dip to 50, I've always heated my coop with a heat lamp because when my hens are happy, I'm...

    Let's See Your Pond Pics!

    Hubby and I have a kiddie pool for our ducks right now. The kiddie pool is good because it allows us to refill the water as needed when it gets dirty. However, we would like to eventually add a realistic pond to our duck yard (one that goes with the landscaping) but we need ideas... what do you...

    Button Quail with Swollen Foot - Help!

    Today I noticed that the foot on one of my female button quail was incredibly swollen. The majority of the swelling is on her shank, just above her foot (only on one side), and is filled with pus. It extends downward to her foot pad and just the bottom of her middle toe, though all four of her...
