We've had a mama cat dropped at our house and she has had kittens. They are ready to go to good loving homes to someone near by. They've been raised indoors but could go as barn kitties after they are a little older. They are eating hard kitten food and using the litterbox now. We have to...
We never really thought about the duck eggs until they started getting bigger and now the chicken egg cartons won't close. That doesn't make it very easy to store in the fridge. What do you store yours in?

We have too many roosters like lots of other people. Does anyone in my area WI- near the twin cities need a hatchery quality red bantam cochin? They are just fighting way too much. I'm not going to ship him.
We have two of our best egg layers broody with eggs under them! I'd rather them not but we are letting them hatch out a few because it's easier that way. How long after the chicks hatch will they start laying again?
I searched the board and couldn't find the answer to this. We specifically asked at our feed store for duck starter and when I opened the package it's pellets. Should I somehow crumble these up? Did they give me the wrong thing? When he went to put the bags into my car it said game bird feed...
Our dog will be spayed this spring and I've had the vet advise me to tack her stomach while he is in there doing the spay. He says it's good to do on the large breed dogs but I can't remember why. Does anyone do this? It's a large amount of money extra. There is extra anestetic and also the...
I have had this broody hen for a while and tried to get some fertilized eggs close by but never did. It's been a few weeks and now we are taking her off the nest so she will snap out of it. But today when my daughter took her off and brought her out of the coop the other hens started picking...
We have one of those waterers for our dog that you fill the 5 gallon water bottle. The kind that you tip over. She can drink that much water in a few days but at the bottom there is pink algae growing in it. I can't seem to figure out how to clean the bottle out. What do you all do? A baby...
We have heard that you can't free range your silkies. Why would that be? I'd love to have them all integrated by winter so that I only have one place to clean and feed/water when it's cold outside.
I have been missing several eggs at a time and then today got the mower out and found two nest! Lost eggs are found. Strange thing is that they aren't one chicken's eggs but a variety. Isn't that weird?
I am putting my babies back in their rubbermaid tub at night for extra preditor protection outside. I didn't put their water in last night and this morning they were very very thirsty. At what point can they make it all night without water. They still have their heat lamp on since its chilly...
I hope I do this right. It's my first picture on this board. Be patient with me. This is Nola the week we got her and then on the 7th her 4 month birthday. Nola is a pet GP that just so happens to live on 9 acres with llamas and chickens and kids. She has been the best dog we've ever owned...
I've been a tiny bit worried about my chicks cause it has turned cold again but they weren't supposed to be delivered until Monday. The post office called this morning at 6 and said they were here! That would be one day delivery from McMurray!!!! All 26 were there and they are very healthy...
I was expecting my frizzles to be frizzled looking. Did I get ones that weren't frizzled? I have to add that we just got them this morning and they are day olds.
