Eh, if I had to upload my pics to every site I use I would be here all day. If I can't post pics from a central location then goodbye again. I wonder if the CC forum is still active.

Wish my previous chickens would have gone after rats. We had them really bad. They would run about in daylight in the coop. We tried every commercial and homemade trap. All sorts of bait. Nothing. Finally just poisoned them all. 99% of them died in their holes so it didn't matter. There...

Finishing some painting but a rainstorm hit. Lucky to have gotten 2 dry days in a row this year. Making everything a convenient size, weatherproof enough, and shiba dog proof led to a lot more weight than expected. Still 2 of us can shift it around. In 3 days the chickens have already turned...

I'm back after however many years break. I was certain I wouldn't remember my login. We are moving to a house in a city that allows chickens. Have to jump through a few hoops but eventually we can have 6 hens. The previous owners already built a coop and got a permit so there should be no...

Yea we were renting and my landlord went senile on us. A complicated series of events followed involving conversations that only happened in her head or that she forgot happened and we got evicted. Luckily we had a condo to move in to that my husband hadn't managed to sell but all the outdoor...

After being trapped in a condo for the past nearly 2 years there's a good chance my husband is taking a job near chicago that will pay more than double and that means we can afford a property with land again. I'm looking for 5 acres with horse facilities and found this awesome log cabin, 5...

Looking for any type of egg for hatching and cheap/free roosters or retired hens for butchering as pet food. Must be within 30mins of North Liberty, West Liberty, the quad cities or along the interstates between those places. Gas costs are too high to be worth driving hours just for eggs and...

Actually a well placed bullet has been argued to be more humane than the methods the shelters use since few have the money to sedate before killing. Even vet techs have backed that up. A study was done with an eeg machine that found the brain waves spike the same as a panicking animal when...

Hey my stomping ground. Unfortunately due to a sleeping disorder that basically reverses my day 4am to me is like 5pm for most everyone else and 10am=middle of the night. Unless you still want my attention late afternoon to what is early morning for everyone else I will be in bed sleeping and...

The offers I have so far are for $3/dozen irregardless of type of egg.

Looking for any type of eggs. Duck, guinea, chicken, quail... any breed. We can no longer keep adult poultry but chicken was a main part of the raw diet for both our domestic common pets and exotics and we just acquired more bengals which are asian leopard domestic cat crosses. I'm thinking...

Pedigree show quality champagne d'argents. Also good meat and larger pet rabbits. Moderate sized litters but good mothers so the kits are well fed and grow fast. Average 12lbs at adulthood. They start black and turn silver. Somewhat rare breed.

Sorry I don't have time to log on here much anymore. There are different types of raw diets. Raw prey model is easiest. It subscribes to the philosophy that everything a dog needs is found in the whole prey animal. So you try to feed as complete of an animal as possible. Now with big...

We can't raise our own chickens anymore but they made up a major part of our dogs' raw diets so we are looking for any free or very cheap roosters and retired laying hens for butchering. Age is unimportant except that I have nowhere to grow them out so they must be at least 10weeks. Will...

I wouldn't touch advantix. It uses moxidectin and people have had trouble measuring an accurate dose of moxidectin on mini ponies. There have been many deaths. I wouldn't try dosing it on something even smaller using the broad ranges that exist. Maybe if I was withdrawing an exact amount...

It's not really suggested by the experts to do things like dropping, knocking off balance, etc.. because it could create a trust issue. Many birds start biting because they don't trust people or especially that they don't trust you as a stable perch so shaking up that trust can make things much...

Kaze just eats books, pencils, and my computer while I do work. He also thinks it's play when I type and he chases my fingers. Linnies are too small to do any real damage to things. Otherwise I'd have no keys left on my computer and all my mechanical pencils would be cracked.

The nest should have been put back in a tree in the area and the parents most likely would have continued caring for the young. Do not put them under a heat lamp. It will dry them out and kill them. If they need extra heat use a heating pad or electric blanket but be very careful not to...

Rabbit milk is very hard to replicate, there currently is no really good substitute, and rabbits are rather difficult to feed. Rabbit milk also changes as the kits age to prepare the stomach for solid food and we can't copy that yet. That makes it best for a kit to get all it's milk from a...

Sometimes they won't pull fur and build a nest until after they have them especially if they are stressed or having their first litter. Make sure she has a place to make a nest such as an open topped box or container. I'd add a thin layer of shavings and then put the babies and any fur she...
