The emus have done well except for one of them. I don't know what happened but it appears one has a damaged leg. The knee is showing through the skin. The chick can get around fine by hopping. Should I leave it alone or bandage it or worse case.. amputate the leg. Any help or...
I thought I would try something different. These are cute little buffers. I picked up three 10 day old babies.

I raised hundreds of chickens last year. Predators on finances made me get rid of my birds. My siblings and I have started to see if we can get our 300 acre family farm making money. I sold my poultry to our farm. Basically I still get to have all my poultry but with the financial backing of...
I bought these ducklings months ago. I was told they were bantam call ducks. Based on the way they fly I doubt it. Is it safe to also assume these are a Trio? I have the two brown and one white.

I notice that most often my refrigerator is empty. I keep very few things there. There is a possibility I will get rid of it next year. Why pay to run something i dont use. I have canned vegetables and fruit for years but have started working on meats. The circle ham canned well but I dunno...
I sold alot of chickens a month or three ago. I had a coyote come through(during the day mind you) and take most of what i had. I didnt have enough to keep up with breeding so I sold or gave away the few remaing chickens i had. I will rebuild the pens and stock over the winter. My new motto...
Back months ago my hatch rates were good. I buy eggs and hatch my own. The last few hatches have been crap. I had 15 eggs doing good at day 10. Moving growing etc. 2 hatched. The rest have died late I would assume a day or so before lock down. I cracked the eggs and most were fully...
