Thanks so much for the welcome back ;) City Farmer, I know what you mean about too many animals. If my daughter had her way it'd be a zoo. She has a tiny flock of Faverolles as her whole year honor roll award for last year, She is half way there this year, wonder what we will be getting this...
Honestly, I am dumfounded by all the newbie welcome posts and lack of experience posts. I have little to post, but some experience. Keep in mind I am in no way claiming I have a clue because your chicken is not in my hands. You may need to siphon or massage the crop. It sounds like she...
I sprout for my own use but if it carries over a week or so before a salad I toss it to the birds. Never even occurred to me it could be bad. Well, I guess it could be psychedelic depending on the seed. But dang who would share then? As far as fermentation mine get the raisins from my wine...
LMAO, You know 30 years back I'd go to grandma's to catch the Texas Cinnamon Spiders and sell them to pet stores and news paper ads before the internet was here. In Jr H it was a living. Nasty side was those breed of tarantula did not rear up before a bite, but just dropped down and got ya...
I used to be at the old site but life happens and drifted off. Even remarried in 2006 at TX Chicken Stock hosted by Carla, AllenWranch(a BLAST). I don't think she comes here much though nowadays. Was Miss Amara and dubbed by the powers that be the official Henbassador, cracked me up. Guess I...
I only have a pair so my experience is limited and this is my first run with this breed. YMMV. Ours are name Noodle and Dumpling. We are ready to make Dumpling soup! The girl, noodle, is great though. When I peek out the window my little girl is always holding her on her back. You can even...
Hey, Amiga, glad to be of help as I am sure the other poster is too :) I hope any others doing a google search find it helpful too, because when it happened to me and what we dubbed my "suicidal flock" I was in a complete panic and lost the first guy while hitting the net for help. We saved 3...
I only have one girl and boy. I had these years ago but they were wiped out by a neighbor's dog when I wasn't home. They roam really far and love to forage. The rooster is awesome. He treats his hens well and they know it. He keeps a good 15 or better with him at all times. My other two...
Exactly, good point. I had a batch of particularly piggie ones and they would even choke on the mash, we had them on crumble soup for almost a week, it was crazy. I have kept ducks for some time and this was a first for me and seemed to just be this batch of birds. They ate like my dachshund...
I have not been on this site for years, married at chickenstock 2006 in TX at Allen Wranch's..., I was miss amara - official henbassador... LOL. anywho I had this issue with some duck babies I had and found little help here or anywhere. Hope I can give a head's up. If your ducklings are young...
Hey, guys, this is mom. I just saw my Fight of Fancy profile being used by my youngest when I was emailed replies. She is very excited and we just had the internet message board danger discussion and how you never know where it comes from... And that she can always ask mom most chickie...
