    Got an eight year old that tested positive for strep and flu b and a five year old with the two way sprays. It’s been a glorious weekend to say the least... I can’t remember ever hearing Daddy Help so many times over such a short period.

    What chicken breed has been the most fun for you?

    I really enjoy my Silverudd’s Blue’s previously know as isbars. They are intelligent and just curious enough to get into trouble doing things they shouldn’t. Granted I did have one cockerel that developed a taste for styrofoam he was a dummy, but that’s the only one I’ve really had personal...

    What is this breed? Animal rescue

    Might try to put a small mirror with it. Could possibly help comfort it. Then again it might not just depends on the individual animal.

    ISO Isbar chicks or hatching eggs -VA

    Wabi sabi farms out of Texas sells chick and ships them. I believe they still have the first import lines. That’s where I ordered my last chicks from.

    Red Wigglers - how fast reproduce as part of feed?

    i should have said in my and world renowned earth worm expert Dr. John Reynolds opinion. Who is quoted in the article you linked. They don’t have any significant environmental impact. They are very rarely found in natural environments. Especially since the decline of using horses in agriculture...

    Red Wigglers - how fast reproduce as part of feed?

    I would assume your correct Eisenia fetida or what I consider red wigglers can give off a slimy substance if irritated. Tho they are not a worm that will cause significant environmental issues if accidentally released.

    Calling all Tennessee Lovers!

    Any of y’all on the fat end of the state keep liege fighters? I’m looking for some eggs to hatch this spring. I’d prefer from blue silver neck or splash birchen. I know it’s a long shot but thought I’d ask.

    Red Wigglers - how fast reproduce as part of feed?

    If your serious about the worms. Bentley “compost guy” Christy has a very informative website Redwormcomposting.com. Granted he doesn’t have anything much on using them as a feed additive.

    Red Wigglers - how fast reproduce as part of feed?

    I would start with a pound (1000)ish. They can double their numbers in a month and a half easily if given the proper conditions. I raise them my chicken hate them the only interest the chickens show in the worms is to roll around in the beds or pick out the occasional cricket. Red wigglers...

    Training my cockerel to not crow with squirts

    I’m in the you do your chickens your way crowd. If you think this is the way you want to try to keep your pet go for it don’t let anyone else tell you how take care of your live stock. I train mine with a high powered pellet rifle and a frying pan and don’t care if people dislike that fact.

    Official BYC Poll: What Kind Of Relationship Do Your Dogs & Chickens Have?

    My blue heeler normally ignores the chickens. She has killed several but normally it is an over aggressive cockerel that’s pushed the boundaries of personal space. I think 6 total in 3years. The dog is fenced in but the chickens can not resist her backyard area. Flying into the pen isn’t a death...

    Three Chickens Gone Without a Trace..... theft?

    I would think the pea fowl would alert to a person trying to steal chickens. I can’t imagine a person crafty enough to catch three chickens without at least a small ruckus. I’m no expert on pew fowl, but when i was a kid the farmer up the road had them and they always hollered at us when we...

    Our Babies Died a Terrible Death

    I’m curious about the whole arrest thing. If it’s was as described I’m thinking a wrongful arrest suit could be in order. I don’t think I would kill someone’s pet for the first offense but then again I might if it was a complete loss. I would however recommend contacting the authorities first...

    Large Scat - w/picture

    I’m not familiar with bear poo but have seen coyotes in abundance and it doesn’t always look the same. It varies based on diet. I say that is coyote scat, but without scouting around and looking for other signs it’s hard to say for sure.
