Thank you, it bothered me that I couldn't do more in the short window of time I had to try to revive her, I'd had her 3 years along with the others in her group, not a problem otherwise with any of them, I have a little group of about 10 EE' and OE's feathering out in a grow out pen in my family...
thank yu John, what bothered me is that i didnt have a decent chance to try to revive her, the rest of the chickens were ok yesterday and this morning, it was already 90 degrees this morning at 7:00am, i changed their water, put in fresh frozen bottles, took the water hose and sprayed down the...
Sad news, I lost a 3 year old Rhode Island Red yesterday due 2 Heat Stroke (first time ever), we'd had a 104 degree Fahrenheit day the day prior, she was perfectly fine, weighed about 6 pounds, ate well, normal poop, good egg production, however when i arrived at the ranch yesterday I knew...
Daphy, you dont mention any other symptoms, how was their poop, color, consistency, were the wattles and combs nice bright red color? what type of feed do you give them, scratch, egg layer and what percentage of each do you give them in their rations. i use semi free range method, lots of aerial...
get some plastic water bottles fill em up and freeze them then add then to the water containers specially for the birds you still have outside, you can use the smaller water bottles and freeze them for the smaller containers, its been so hot and humid here lately its been the best thing I can...
most of those European breeds you mention Im vaguely familiar with, the cold bloods and warmbloods of Europe are in my mind used in refined equestrian disciplines like dressage and hunter jumpers, I can remember a seeing some cob horse plowing a plot of land and maybe pulling a hay wagon, but...
OMG, never been out of the USA, born in Brooklyn New York, would've loved to travelled a bit.....tell me stories! i will live vicariously through you, lol, learning Swedish would be nice except dont know anyone i can practice on, not many Swedish people this far south that Im aware of, I do know...
No Cobb? im surprised, not too knowledgeable of cold bloods or European warm bloods, thanks for the enlightenment! they are certainly a robust looking breed.
ok this side by side comparison helps me see the marked difference between them, i see the thorobred influence in Kronos, my Apollo had that conformation dark bay color, 3 white socks, star and a snip, i see the cobb influence in the cold blooded trotter, stunning horse i agree.
Beautiful! is this what they used to call a StandardBred? my first gaited horse was a StandardBred, picked him up at the GoldStream Harness race track $800.00 with a saddle! they had retired him, he was 8 years old, did ok in the races, top lip was tattooed "inside" his mouth, was sired at a...
the feathering I get it! part of my maintenance routine with my horses is to make sure I regularly clip the fetlock area, ears, around their eyes, muzzle. I have Paints with lots of white area on them, tough to stay ahead of the grass stains, yellow stains and such, i got away from using...
beautiful horses for sure, they are an old breed the romans used them for their chariots, dont think they do well in hot humid weather though, dont see any this far south..what do you think about the cob type Gypsy Vanner's ?
great idea on the canned fruit cocktail! Incidentally the frozen water bottles in the water bins are working real good for me, i have to replenish them every other day, cant use the same ones all the time though, they plastic cracks and develop algae inside the bottle, so i keep many fresh clean...
