That sounds great good luck with the babies.

we have a 3 day old guinea chick and none of the other eggs have hatched yet, these were a surprise and our guinea is sitting on them still. anyone have any baby chicks?

do you have a small cage you could put them all in and bring in the house? that is what i would do, then bring them all out in a separate area when they are big enough slowly integrate them all.

i think it depends on your level of ability to care for your animals when to call a vet. i personally have found no benefit and as their prices go up, many people can not afford to go to the vet, plus the waiting times are outrageous, at least where i live. here on a saturday or after hours they...

many people allow their smaller dogs to be aggressive, they think its cute. it is really not normal for a dog to snap so easily, he must be very stressed and feel he has to be in charge. if he was here, our dogs would teach him to behave, and he would learn from them what is ok or not...

i have had great results with the copper bolus, it saved some of our older goats who were getting weak and nothing else worked. i do not think it dangerous to try one. i just stuck them in a banana piece and they loved it. goats require copper to fight off parasites also. yes fiasco is the...

look into homeopathy and try some remedies. sounds like you are doing everything well for her. pregnancy is difficult, and requires extra support. just put them in her water or a little milk for her to drink.

great post. after skinner and the rest took over "edukation" humans stopped being human and lost touch with reality. it is very interesting read to see how sick those behaviorists actually were. one of them actually put his infant daughter in a box and left her there, no contact. they should...

sounds like she could have had a seizure and she is coming out of it. all the people squawking about a vet are making you stressed unnecessarily. i find that vets are very unhelpful and charge way too much money. they are only good for surgery. i would look at her food she is getting and change...

One of our blue slate turkeys has gone broody, and we have already several young turkeys, but thought peafowl eggs would be big and strong enough for her to hatch. She is so determined, I would love to help her be a mom. We do not have a boy turkey, so our turkey eggs are not fertile. We are in...

I don't think you will need to separate them, they are all growing up together and should be fine so long as they have enough room and food. We have many roosters; bantams and larger with our hens and everyone gets along well. Hard to tell what kind they are, if two of the eggs were blue, they...

I use nanosilver (sovereign silver is the brand I use) and it works really well. You can put a few droppers full in their water dishes and I also give a dropper full directly for any chicken of ours who is sneezing a couple of times a day. They usually stop sneezing by the next day. Oregano...

Our chickens love pumpkin and squash of all kinds. We carve a face and cut the top off like you normally do, then cut one side down a little bit so they can get their heads in there. They will eat the seeds and pulp, so don't remove them. They may look at it funny at first, but then they will...

we use two buckets because it takes a day or two for it to ferment real good. so by the time we use the one, the other is ready, then we make more and do it that way. we have our buckets in our spare bathroom. they dont take up a lot of room. our whole house is at 65, thats where we put our...

Hi potagergirl, have you tried using buckets to ferment? we got ours from the bakery of our local store for free and we have over 20 chickens. we have 2 buckets that we use very easily that we alternate. i wouldnt mix the ferment with the mash, not only for variety for the chickens but also not...

love the pics! he sounds like a really cool, special rooster. .could he sleep in the garage or in the house with your dog for the winter? . if he is used to hanging out with the rest of you, then why cant he keep doing that? there is nothing wrong with chickens being pets. it sounds like you...

you could re home him. there may be someone who would like a gentle rooster.

bigmgr, sounds like a red flag to me about whether or not you want to be part of that family. the apple doesnt fall far from the tree, as i have learned from sad experience. maybe dating someone who is more in line with your lifestyle would be better. people get more paranoid the older they...

salmonella only effects people who are really weak with other factors going on. i have never worried about it. its just more fear porn. they say that about reptiles too. i spent my childhood playing with and catching frogs turtles snakes, never had any issues. we also eat our eggs raw in a...

what a handsome boy!
