    My Journey in Pig Raising: Chapter 1- fence building****PIC HEAVY****

    I use a single wire (electric with a solar charger) on the inside of my pens which are made up of old (free) chain link, one made of cattle panels, soon a pallet pen, etc. My pigs have learned to stay away from the fence, no matter what it is made of. A couple shocks and they stay away from the...

    I'm looking for Silver Laced Orpingtons. Not interested in chicks this time of year, but rather started, juvenile, or older birds. If you can help me out, please reply. If you cannot ship, I can arrange for private transport. Thanks! Teri

    Call state first. It is illegal in many states to relocate certain animals.

    I Have a Fox Problem

    They are a valued pelted animal. Trapped for it's fur. Thus a trapping season (winter) when their fur is the thickest and longest. Permit needed for trapping like a hunter needs a permit to kill a deer. Hope this helps

    I Have a Fox Problem

    Most states allow for killing predators if they are attacking your livestock. Depending on the state, killing usually means shooting. Trapping fox requires a trapping permit and can only be done during a certain time of year. Use hardware cloth instead of chicken wire. Hope this helps.

    Rescued a goose today - can someone tell me the breed(pics)

    (Just my thoughts). Sounds like the ducks and goose share neighboring pens/runs. this is good. Watch for the goose trying to peck at the ducks through the wire. If she doesn't peck, I would keep them as they are for a good two weeks and then select 2 or 3 ducks to be placed in with the goose...

    Ordered eggs... so not happy

    I received 10 Chocolate Orpington eggs through ebay and you should have seen how these were shipped!!! Each egg was placed in a section of swimming pool noodle that had been split lengthwise and then wrapped with a rubber band. Each noodled egg was placed in a good sized box with no additional...

    Keeping water from freezing in the winter

    If you have a large flock, I put a heater in a deep rubber feeding pan. It can be purchased at Tractor supply store. Be sure you get the kind that can be used in NON-METAL containers. (read the box). Of course you need a source of electricity. I run an outdoor heavy duty extension cord from the...

    2019 Emu Hatch-A-Long

    I let a bad egg ride too long once and it exploded inside the incubator! Had to throw out the incubator due to the stink. Couldn't get it clean enough! Just a thought.

    My Cotton Patch and American Buff are beginning their mating rituals. A little early for my taste.

    American(Buff, Blue, Lavander,etc.)goose thread! Post pics!

    I'm glad you are considering Cotton Patch, my first love!. They were developed and used in the cotton fields as weeders. They ate the grass and weeds and left the broad leaf cotton plants alone. Good choice. They also need people to help keep the breed alive. I think they have been removed from...
