    Breeding my chocolate lab with a golden retriever

    I believe the meaning of that poster is: Do NOT contribute to the OVERPOPULATION of dogs, just visit a few local animal control kennels to see all the dogs that need homes. Too many people breed their dogs for the WRONG purpose. Years ago I had a gorgeous female Chesapeake Retriever, I am...

    Breeding my chocolate lab with a golden retriever

    Are you going to keep all the puppies from this litter? Are you going to have EACH and EVERY person that gets one of your pups sign a contract saying that if they can no longer keep the dog for ANY reason, that the dog MUST be returned to you. Are you ready, willing and able to care for 10...

    Horse purchase help

    It is not a good idea to get a 5 year old Arab for your 11 year old daughter, ESPECIALLY if its a first horse for all of you. Arabs are like Thoroughbred horses, their bodies are not full mature till 5 years of age. There are planty of good 10 - 15, or even older, more experienced horses...

    Duck yolk!

    I've tried my duck eggs fried, hard boiled and scrambled, I cannot tell the difference from my duck eggs and my chicken eggs. Only thing, I do not like hard boiled duck eggs, the whites have a 'grainy' texture, not smooth like chicken eggs.

    Using chemicals to euthanize birds

    I've been away, been too busy to visit BYC, but I'm back for a minute. Several months ago I had a lame rooster, it was around mid to late December. He gradually started getting worse, so I decided I needed to put him out of his misery. Well, I was too squeemish to wring his neck, or chop his...

    Duck "swimming". on the ground, cannot stand

    I searched the forums last night, looking for advice. Saw numerous posts on, "Duck can't walk" and none of them were very encouraging. Yesterday evening one of my ducks was in the pool, while all the rest (9) were out of the pool and on the ground, ready to go, 'night night'. I walked over...

    The girls must be po'd

    Kind of funny actually. About 4 or 5 days ago, I quit giving my ducks water and food at night, when they are locked up in the coop. Even though I had their water bucket in a bottom half of a dog kennel, the hay would get soaking wet, and REAl poopy over night. They've started to not lay in...

    Is there a cleaner way to kill a duck???

    If you dont have a regular killing cone, Get a traffic cone, turn it upside down and suspend it from a branch or something, put the duck in, head first of course. It' s head will stick out, the cone will hold it's body, so it doesnt flop around, have a pan under neath, slit its throat, blood...
