    Do bear bother chickens?

    I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the obvious (to me, at least): try not to attract them in the first place!! Pick your apples and get to any that fall right away (or cut down the trees if you don't want to bother), and don't put out bird seed until the bears go into hibernation. Avoid...

    Crunching like sound coming from inside of sick duck?

    Also, I've heard that geese will often limp if they've eaten something they shouldn't have.

    Looking good so far!

    Well, I'm on day 9 with 36 Americauna/EE eggs in the bator, and I just candled. One clear for sure, 4 or 5 are too dark to see veins, but not clear so fingers crossed, and the other 30 I saw veins, movement or both. Yeah! First try with an incubator and so far I'm pretty happy with the...

    I'm new

    Ok, hopefully this is the correct place for this... I've been lurking on and off for a while now, but I think I might have some questions coming soon, so I thought I had better introduce myself first. I am in central BC, Canada with my soon-to-be husband, our two dogs (border collie and...
