    Broody laying on fertile eggs way past the 21 day mark.....now what?

    I haven't tried candling the eggs yet but when I slighlty jiggled the eggs (2) today it felt lock a rock was inside it. According to my records these eggs would have hatched on the 4th of August. Could they be dead inside? Should I leave them for a little while longer under her? Please help.

    Imprinted goslings as they grow....

    I adopted imprinted goslings at 5 days old and found I could only be with them a few hours out of the day. They are now 4 weeks old and still a little needy but way more independent. They come to me when I call them but no longer want to be held, which is ok with me since they are huge now! Yet...

    Can one enforce Imprinting?????! Any duck whisperer's out there?

    First time duck owner/lover. My ducklings are some kind of Khaki/Swed cross/mutt, I really don't know. But I adopted 2 babies at 5 days old and as of today they are 7 days old and they are still scared to death of me. I read that ducks imprint like dogs and will follow humans around and that is...

    Help! My 5 yo scribbled on his face w/ a Sharpie!!!!!!

    Thanks for all the great help! I was able to get it off that night with a combo of rubbing alcohol and waterproof eye make-up remover. My plan was to take a pic that night while he was sleeping but the last ditch effort worked. He marched in the parade just fine. HOWEVER, on the 5th of July he...

    Help! My 5 yo scribbled on his face w/ a Sharpie!!!!!!

    I will try the toothpaste (Mentadent) and then the baking soda paste. Thanks. Flakey chick, I just thought of the same thing, maybe I can paint a flag over his face!!! Also, the float he will be on is for his hockey team, so I could always make him wear his hockey helmet!!!! Lol!!!

    Help! My 5 yo scribbled on his face w/ a Sharpie!!!!!!

    I'm sure my child isn't the only to do this (but then again it wouldn't surprise me) but he really did a # on his face. I mean circled his eyes, scribbled on his cheeks, chin, forehead. He almost looks like a dartboard w/ all the circles he made! Anyways, he's supposed to be in a 4th of July...

    kid friendly foods from other cultures

    I often go to the Allrecipes website for new ideas. I found a great recipe for Korean BBQ, it's called Bulgogi and rather easy to make and my boys love the taste and flavor.

    Tomato Recall/salmonella outbreak

    I just posted a thread the other day about my roo suddenly dying and my flock having a lot of watery droppings, possibly diarrhea. I just realized that I gave my flock all my round red tomatoes (about 4) just because I got turned off by the tomatoe recall announcement. At the time, the warning...

    Why did my rooster just die?

    Is my HenniePennie a RIR? Production red? Something else?

    I also think it's a RIR. Even if it is a Production Red or a New Hampshire, you still have an excellent egg layer!! They look pretty!

    Why did my rooster just die?

    I actually did think about cutting it open. But when that stuff oozed out I got really grossed out. Funny Carrie! Holden was trying to open it's eyes after he found out it was dead. I made him wash up! Thanks for the help augiedranch.

    Why did my rooster just die?

    Thanks for the reply Sammi. The answer is no to all your questions. I am also concerned about the diarrhea problem. What are the signs and symptoms of cocci? Is it treatable? I better start researching. I forgot to mention that when I moved the dead roo a lot of pus-like ooze came out of his...

    Why did my rooster just die?

    I did notice that some of the girls have very, very watery diarhhea. I've looked up past threads for this and I have just now given them plain yogurt to eat. I've also added a huge layer of dirt/sand for their run to cover up any traces of old feces to prevent contamination. Is there anything...

    Why did my rooster just die?

    Thanks all. I was starting to feel really badly, especially since my teen boys are teasing me saying I killed the roo. The comb was bright red until yesterday then it appeared dull and pale. This may sound weird, but should I freeze the body until I convince my dh to get a necroscopy? He...
