I am trying to convince DH to allow our son to get a gosling and keep her in the house at least part time. He has wanted one for a long time and rarely asks for anything at all. Does anyone have a goose in the house with diapers?

I was in the feed store the other day, and asked about food grade DE (diatomaceous earth). The nice clerk said they had Stall Dry which is DE and clay in tiny pellets. I said that is not the same and he said it will work. Dubious, but willing to try it for under $8, I bought a bag. I sprinkle it...

HI! We just got 6 chicks we ordered from the feed store last night (a photo would be good here LOL!) and I have a question. The last set of chicks we had and some of these have a white spot on the tip of their beak about the size of a pin head. It seems to go away in a few days. Does anyone know...

I have 5 adult pygmy goats, all are healthy but we've had them for a few months and it is spring (summer?) so it seems it is time to worm them. I am confused by all the info online, most of it for producers of meat or milk with big operations, and hesitate to call the nice lady we bought them...

I noticed a few folks ehre who were trying to buy and/or sell goats, and was wondering where they advertised? I have 5 pygmy goats, but have room for a few more!

OK, I have had it up to here (above my head) with my egg eating hens. I am certain the first one taught the others about it and now I have at least three (of 9) that are partaking. Any advice on building an egg roller of some sort that will protect the eggs from their makers?

I was wandering the yard yesterday and noticed my flock of 11 hens were chasing each other around; one had caught something tasty and the others wanted it. Turns out it was a 6 inch long snake, and was apparently a great prize. I saw another hen with one who sucked it right down (gross) and...

We have five pygmy goats, just for pets, that we bought two weeks ago. We are feeding them about 8 cups of alfalfa pellets and a small flake of alfalfa hay every evening, plus some iceplant and they have pasture (mostly lawn grass, which they do not eat) all the time. We also feed about 4 cups...

I have decided we need to buy a food processor and am looking for recommendations. I have a four cupper i use once a week or so, but it is really too small for most thigns. DH wants to juice more, but wants to keep all the pulp so a powerful food processor would be good for that as well. He uses...

We are having to move from our rental home in northern Monterey county CA and are trying to stay in the same area and take our 4 month old pullets with us. (that's right, we've only been here 4 months!) Looking through the county and city regulations I cannot find anything prohibiting small...

Does anyone have any ideas of science fair experiments my 6th grader and I can do with our chickens? I'm thinking about "Can chickens be trained" but I'm not I have that kind of patience. All ideas or random thoughts appreciated! Vicki
