Just so nobody else has to go through what I did, Gingko fruit is toxic!! Now, my big dogs have eaten it and I see the seeds in their poop and never thought in the 10 years we lived here that the tree is a problem. But my new puppy who was only 10 lbs ate a bunch of fruit (seeds and all) and she...
I had 5 chicks hatch and 5 eggs with fully formed chicks but membranes were shrunk around them and they never broke through shell. One looked like it broke through membrane but not through shell. Anyone know what would cause this? Is there anything I could have done differently to prevent this?
Is it possible to vent sex emu chicks? It seems to be on rheas but didn't find any info on emus. Also, do any of you emu breeders tag emus and if so how? Leg bands or clip on wing? Thanks.
Is this a Black Copper Maran and rooster or hen? I hatched a bunch of different breeds but I don't think it could be any of the other breeds. ~ 3 months old too. Thanks

My 4 peahens started laying 4 days ago (they are all over age 3), are the first ones of the season not fertile? If you crack them open is there a way to tell? I know chicken eggs will contain a circle ring but I didn't see that in peahens egg. Thanks!

I just got 3 very scared, frightened mini weanlings (3-4 months of age) from an auction. They appear to have been weaned, fully body clipped and ran thru an auction all at once, so it makes sense that they are frightened. I would like advice on best way to handle them. I have them in a round...
I have 8 dogs, 7 different breeds and every morning I prepare their food bowls. Every one has a spot/location they are fed and that never changes. They are also fed in a certain order. Some of the dogs wait quietly in their spot for me to come with the food bowl others follow me around like...
Is it possible to take a 4yr old Dutch belted cow who was never used as a dairy cow and tame her to become one? And if so how? Do I put her up alone and start graining her and just get her used to me? She is due to calf anytime between now and fall. I would like to be able to hand milk her but...
