I had an osculating sprinkler set near their run the last few days during the hottest part of the day. That seemed to really help cool them off. Im so sorry for your loss.
Alright, are we all ready for some amazing before and after photos? Her is my 28yr old Arab gelding, Khlassi. I have owned him for 22 years and he is my baby
He started dropping weight fast a couple weeks ago over at my aunt Linda's and we were all stumped because she has good pasture...
Alrighty, Remember the pictures I posted of my 28yr old gelding that was a little thin? Well 6 days later being on my pasture, and he is turning into a my chunky monkey again!!!
For my friends on ehre that dont know this guy, He is my 28yr old Arab gelding that I have had for 22 years. He was...
Thanks, The last few years, he has been a harder keeper but the drastic weight loss in a weeks time is not normal for him. thats why he is getting some blood work done as well as the teeth
Well, my 28yr old Arab gelding has a vet appointment for this Thursday to have his teeth done as well as have some blood work done. I brought him home from his summer home at my Aunt Linda's because she was concerned with some drastic weight loss. Im hoping that some blood work will help figure...
I love having my rooster. He is so kind and good with his 12 ladies. Very protective when they free range. Downside is that he takes them to the neighbors periodically and he knows better. I holler at him and tell him to get him girls home and he corrals them up and sulks back home...hahahaha...
I hear ya. Its never-ending here as well. We have a long list of things that need to get done around our place. Portions of our fencing needs replaced, we need to replace our old red hay barn, clean out the pig barn and turn it into a horse barn, split the pasture, fix the hot wire...
We wont be eating Chucky. She comes and goes as she pleases. We only see her when the dog is put up and the chickens are out. she likes the chickens. I dont think I would be able to eat any of my birds. I dont have the stomach for processing. I only had 3 hatch from two clutches. the first one...
Here are some pictures from the last few days
Here is Chicky, our wild female turkey that comes and hangs out with my chickens every spring. This will be her second season visiting us. We call her in with our turkey call and she even tried to follow Elmer into the house last year. We have...
Afternoon everyone!!! Sorry its been so long since Ive been on here. Lots going on around here now that the weather is nice. Im working close to full time and having to take care of our 5 acres at the same time. My DH is working 72 hours a week so its pretty much up to me keep things going...
Im dealing with the same thing from my young hens. The sisters to yours are being difficult lately. i have to dump them from the buckets almost every day...lololol
Well, sorry its been so long since I have been on here. Ive been really busy with work and the new horse. Here is an update of whats been going on. Final count of chicks is 3. Took all the eggs away and have gone back to daily collection. All of my pullets have begun to lay and I am getting...
Update on my chicks. Still only have the 3. I have 2 yellows and a black. I havent seen any other babies yet. Momma hens are still on their nests so aparently, they arent done hatching. The 3 chicks are tiny but fiesty and healthy looking.
I have discovered that my chickens have lice!!! I spread poultry dust in their coop and run and on their roosts. tonight when they go to bed, Ill dust them as best I can. I noticed a couple on that sick chick and it really irritated me that I didn't notice it sooner. that's the downside to not...
I need to rehome 4 of my roosters. Ive decided to just keep whiski and when he passes (not sure of his age) I will just purchace another one instead of trying to keep one of his sons.
Here is one of my yellow chicks that Babe hatched but Meannie stole to raise for the evening.
Here is another yellow chick that Babe hatched and Meannie stole to raise for the evening
And here is Meannie and Weebitt she hatched
Another shot of Meannie and Weebitt
