I don't have either, but as a beginner I'd probably pick the goat; I hear that pigs are harder to milk.

I'm so glad you asked this question because I was gonna! Has anyone ever had live twins? It must be really rare.

I nipped over from the quail forum. This sounds like it's a real challenge for you and your family, and you seem to be bearing up remarkably well. I hope you and your family have all the support you need. Your son is lucky that you have such a positive attitude. Even if you can't stop him from...

Hi, folks, I don't know from guineas but I read Greenpa's blog pretty regularly. Greenpa has a MS in biology, but more importantly, he has a very perceptive little girl. http://littlebloginthebigwoods.blogspot.com/2009/05/guinea-saga-31.html So- I was saying this to Spice, and discussing what...

I'm really sorry to hear about this, what an awful situation. I hope whatever you decide to do it turns out okay. I should think if you fight it you have a good chance of winning, but I couldn't fault you for deciding that the stress is not worth it. You might find someone who has a farm who...

Your son is lucky to have you learning ASL with him and supporting his interests. He will go on to do great things, I'm sure. How are you doing? Are there support groups for parents of deaf children in your area? I haven't started with quail yet—I'm waiting to see if wherever I move this summer...

About 6:40 am today, and then again at 6:50. Threw things at him. He didn't seem particularly surprised; I guess the ladies must do the same. Was talking to my love on the phone about this—apparently territorial wild birds have a very simple reflex loop in their brains. If the males of their...

Kerr_in_CA - you don't have an ordinance against having roosters? Just wondering. MTC, I don't know; probably so, since we're in a pretty dense area here. I've not had cause to look that one up. If I thought it would get rid of this dumb wild bird to tell him he's a rooster and there's an...

Again this morning. At 6am. And again at 7:30. And it was too foggy out for the thing to even see its reflection, I would have thought. He'll have ME beating my head against a wall in no time.

Happy birthday! If this year was kind of a downer, may next year be better; if this year was pretty good, may next year be excellent; if this year was excellent, may next year be just like this year only more so.

In my opinion and speaking as someone who really likes wild animals: Unfortunately with predators that get used to thinking of humans and human pets and livestock as food sources, one isn't really doing them any favors by letting them eat your animals or your garbage anyway. It only encourages...

Five down: "MOOOOOM! MOOOOM! Can I go play Wii at Mikey's house?? CAN I?? MOOOOOOOOM!!!"

Dear Avian Advice Columnist, There's this one male bird in my territory that I'm sure all the hens pay more attention to than me, and it's killing me! I've tried beating him up, but he's too tough for me; I just end up getting hurt. How can I get rid of him? Desperately yours, Can't Compete...

Made my day.

Welcome! Glad you're here.

Welcome, from the Bay.

It will also help minimize chances of stinging if you put the hive up high, I hear. Raising up the flight paths above a human's head means people have less chance of being in the bees' way. In my town, lots of people keep bees in their backyards, and in spring, I'm always seeing bees everywhere...

Oh man I was waiting for one of the "it"s to fertilize it's own egg A little bit off topic, but while there are several rare-ish conditions that can cause a bird or a mammal or a human to have some male sexual characteristics and some female sexual characteristics, none can result in a...

Congratulations... what a coup/coop!

This looks great! Thanks for sharing your design; it'll be a useful example to learn from. Great work.
