I bought a bag of pellets feed today for my chickens, it is horizon acres brand from a big name feed store and it is full of whole cockleburs mixed in with the pellets. Aren't these toxic to chickens? Thanks

I have an adult goat who had a hoof infection. We treated it for a long time and its finally clearing up. The problem is that while she had it, she kept her knee bent. I'm going to splint it so she will put weight on her foot again but I cant straighten it out . Any advice for splinting a goat...

I have a female nigerian dwarf goat who is 11 months old. The past 2 days she hasnt been eating, her sides are large and it seems like she is straining to poop. I also noticed a slight amount of blood around her vulva. She has been in the same area as my 9 month old male. I dont see a bagged...

sorry I should of elaborated more. She sends them via a van in shipping crates. My puppy was completely flea infested. You pay her extra for akc registration and she never sends the registration paperwork. i literally was in email contact with her for almost 2 years to try to get the paperwork...

I was recently contacted by a lady in texas who had bought a norwegian mountain cat from a breeder. Turns out this breeder was the same breeder I had problems with when I bought a great pyrenees dog. She is a scam artist who won't refund money when you catch on to her scam. I am not in Texas so...

thank you so much! i spoke with the ADGA and it seems its a very common problem if you have twins born on 2 different days. its a good learning point. in short, the twins need to have the same birth date.

I have a dwarf goat I am trying to adga register and it keeps getting rejected for this reason..." The dam has another registered birth within a six month period from this birth". I am new to adga can someone please tell me in basic terms what exactly this means? Does that mean the birth count...

I have a 6 week old female bottle fed lamb who was doing fine and now suddenly is straining to poop. She drank her bottle normally in the morning and then was put out into our barnyard for the first time yesterday. When I walked her back during the evening ishe refused to eat her bottle and...

they look good to me. my little ones looked pretty much like this and now they are 2 years old and a good color black. occasionally if the light hits them right i can see a little red through the black on their combs but my understanding is that this is also normal. ultimately though they are...

I ordered some chicks from my local farm store and they sent me cornish cross chicks by mistake. I also have a wide variety of other breeds and ended up with cornish cross chicks, jersey giant chicks, and lavendar orpingtons with this delivery. I was supposed to have red rangers instead of...

They will most likely darken with age. Mine started off like this. One even had a single white feather on his wing which went away with age. It has something to do with one of the 2 lines that are out there. I believe the one that has the single white feather was from the california line.

I was hoping to gain some insight on fermenting chicken feed from anyone who has done it. Do you actually ferment the store bought feed or do you buy specific grains for it? and what is the point of fermenting can it acutally reduce the amount of feed you are giving? thank you

thank you i will post an update once the vet gets here this afternoon. it's just unfortunate because he is one of my breeders and i think i'm mostly shocked because he is huge and it's hard for me to envision something attacking him vs going after one of my smaller animals. Hopefully he will...

you can get it in various heights. mine currently is 4 feet , i don't know what the tallest version of it that you can buy is though. good to know that coyotes can jump high though!

the other insteresting thing is that it got past electric hot wire on the fence which is about 2 feet from the bottom. we don't currently have any on the top yet.

he is eating and drinking fine. we live in missouri and my understanding is that mountain lions are making a comeback here so i'm not ruling anything out. I'm going to measure the distance between the punctures when i go back out to his area and round him up for the vet. i do have some smaller...

we use electric mesh fencing. it's moveable. sold by premier1

My male goat was attacked by something that left puncture marks along his side and ripped his third eyelid as well as a couple of punctures on his face and neck. I am currently guessing either a dog or coyote attacked him, but i'm kind of stumped at the width of the punctures as they are about a...

supposedly so that you can store them longer over winter but i just wonder if it's really a necessity.
