I live on the East coast, New Jersey to be specific. I have lived in the same home for 54 years and have fed the wild birds that entire time. This year populations are at an all time low. I would guess somewhere around 20 % of what normally feed here and at a wildlife club where I also feed...

I have been charged with making brussel sprouts and asparagus (along with some other stuff) for Thanksgiving. Can you all give some ideas of how you cook the above. For just me I would boil them and load on the butter.

Out of 14 heirloom tomato plants 3 are non flowering/non fruiting. Occasionally I have had one like this - generally a Mr Stripey, but this year there are 3 including a Mortgage Lifter. Anyone have ideas about this ?

Here's the story. Four years ago a doe raised a pair of fawns outside of the beagle club that I belong to. Club is fenced with heavy gauge wire topped with 3 strands of hot wire to keep ground predators out. As a yearling the young Y buck would lay along the side of the fence about 30' from...

Has everyone purchased eclipse glasses for their flocks this coming Monday ? If not I have an abundance available. All orders must be prepaid.

Last autumn/early winter a deer hunter shot a female coyote on my property (located in West central NJ). She was relatively thin but stretched across the tailgate of his truck. Initially I thought that he had shot someone's dog. I ran into him yesterday and asked what she weighed - 54 lbs...

Does anyone know of a commercially available dog food that has high palatability? I have a dog that is an extremely poor eater. He eats just enough to stay alive. He has a great shine to his coat and is extremely vigorous, but will not eat enough to put on weight. He will not eat canned...

Odd question here - has anyone ever seen a Guinea fowl with scaley leg mites? Just an odd question that entered my brain - it happens now and then - the odd questions that is.

About 20 years ago a Toulouse goose at a local park mated with a Canada gander, and they raised 5 goslings. All matured into a lighter version of the Canada coloration with gray/white faces and pink/orange legs. All were able to fly and travel with the local Canada resident flock. Wherever...

I've just returned from the vet's office and am sad. Today Fd Ch Sourland Mt Sheri Hill was euthanized. I was not her first love. I was her caretaker and the guy who enabled to carry our her first love which was trailing rabbits. I've had beagles for more than 65 years and have competed at...

Are there any entomologists on board? Yesterday I saw a very large wasp/hornet capture, kill and eat a big bumble bee. This insect was in excess of 2" long. In coloration and size it did not appear to be an European hornet. Have Asian giant hornets been found in the US? I am located in New...

I have a litter of puppies that are 60 hours old. I believe that they are infected with the canine herpes virus (nose virus). This AM they were fine, but are fading fast. Is there anything that I can do? I have raised the temps in the whelping box to 100 degrees F. Everything that I have...

Am I in a rut? Every day for lunch it's a BLT with garden fresh tomatoes. Bibb lettuce, bacon from the Amish. Ya know what? If I'm in a rut, I don't care. It tastes so very good.

I've been free lofting my birds for several weeks without any hawk attacks. I let the birds out early afternoon, and close the bobs in the evening after they have returned to the loft. I spent much of yesterday working in the flower beds and watching my birds having 'fun'. They were foraging...
