    Portage, Michigan now allows urban chickens!

    It has been quite a long time since I have been here. The city has now allowed chickens. I am thinking about writing a letter to the editor to maybe give advice on chickens. As much as I am thrilled they are allowed I am also worried that new owners won't be informed on how to take care of...

    Fatty tumors in dogs

    I was brushing my dog Dodge the other day and I discovered what I think is a fatty tumor on the back of his rear leg. I think it was the same one before I found but I forgot about it as I was going through a lengthy illness with my cat. It is about the size of a small baseball now. I did some...

    I hope I posted this in the right section. My dog recently had a bout with prancreatis last week end. This resulted in him staying in the vet hospital for three days. After reading here on the internet about it I am sure by the symptoms it was his pancreas. It came about very suddenly-in the...

    Differences in homegrown vs incubator/hatchery birds?

    This has been something that I have been thinking for quite some time. Is there differences in birds especially pertaining to cockerels/roos? It seems that the hatchery ones seem to be more aggressive than homegrown ones that I have known. Is chicks that have been raised by hens and lived in...

    Golden Comets

    Went shopping for chicks yesterday with freebie at Tractor Supply and we got some chicks called Golden Comets. The girl wasn't very knowledgble about the chicks they had there and there wasn't a big variety. I guess a lot of places aren't carrying a lot of birds because they usually are left...

    Quirky things our government officials try to pass on to us

    I have a rant about my city officials trying to pass a $575,000.00 extended bike path on us. It seems to city has nothing better to do than try and force Sears dept store to sell their property to them for a bike path! They are even going as far as to force Sears to sell by claiming enemient...
