Either feed her so she will have a food source and will not be forced to find her own food (such as eggs), or look up a local cat rescue and ask them to come trap and remove her. Either way is much more humane and responsible than shooting an innocent animal. If you call animal control they will...
I have heard stories about people having chickens killed by feral cats, but there are at least three big ol toms that cross my property who have never bothered my chickens a bit.
I raise Holland Lop rabbits on a very small scale, focusing on chocolates and blues, aiming for show quality. Right now I have 9 Holland Lops and 2 mixed rescues.
Start as soon as possible!! If your children do not read before school, they will be behind many of the other kids. If your children are able to read before school, they will have a jump and be much more well-prepared. It's the job of parents to teach children basics before they send them to...
I had 31 this year, up from 29 last year. We really don't have many kids at all in the neighborhood anymore. I think the only reason I get any at all is they stop when they drive by and see all the decorations.
I am loving they'reHISchickens idea about going to a camping ground! Might have to do...
I thought they were kinda cool until I did a bit of research and found out that the roosters used die as a result of the collecting process. It seems much more sensible to me to keep the roosters alive and take the feathers sparingly rather than kill the poor animals.
Don't go. Send a nice note saying sorry, but you were unable to attend due to last minute notice. That is all that is necessary. If they really want you there, they will get the message and become more responsible.
Don't expect things to change. My siblings and I are in our 40s and 50s, and the one total jackass in the family can still do no wrong in our parents' eyes. They are completely blind to how horrible and dishonest he is. My suggestion is take the waterhose to your idiot brother to show him what...
In my experience, mini lops and Holland Lops have been the calmest and most gentle. My Netherlands were ok, but often hard to handle. It really depends more on the individual rabbit and how it is raised. If you get one as a baby and handle it frequently, it is going to make a better pet than...
I would begin by saying I USED to like you and THOUGHT you were a nice, decent person, but obviously I was mistaken about your character. Then I would tell her two things. First, if she harassed me about something I had that was legal I would call the police on HER for harassment. Second, I...
I live in Saraland, Alabama, and the only restriction here is that chickens have to be kept at least 200' from a primary residence. There are no restrictions on numbers or roosters, just the distance from a primary residence, being yours or a neighbor's. I guess it is a public health interest...
If no one has posted it yet, Ideal has a weekly special listed today. Straight run bantams are on sale for 1.75. I think this will be what makes me finally cave in and order chicks again after over a year without chickens. Gotta get cochin and amerecauna bantams, I think
Welcome to the world of chickens! You will love them!! I live in Mobile, but I get to Atlanta a couple of times a year. There are a lot of chicken people up in that area. The whole small backyard homestead movement is really big there.
School systems have teachers on staff who teach homebound children. As a teacher, I believe that is how such cases be handled. It protects the safety of the child with the allergy and avoids causing serious disruptions to all the other children in the school.
Prattville is rather small. Should be fairly quite and an easy place to live. One thing about Alabama-it is not a mass transit sort of place. Cars are necessary to get around. Most places are fairly openminded about animals and such, just be sure to check into the town ordinance and neighborhood...
Breeders who show rabbits tattoo them in the ear. Tattooed rabbits may or may not be registered with the ARBA. They really don't mean anything to anyone other than the breeder. It's just a form of ID for a particular rabbit. When you enter them into a show, you enter the tattoo number for judges...
