My friend who is a HS biology teacher is thinking of incorporating chicken hatching (I think it might have something to do with me) as part of the vertebrate unit. What have people done as HS -appropriate level projects? She knows nothing about chickens, but is open to the idea. I am her...

I am looking to get a used TX-6, but it needs a new heating coil and water bottle. I found both these parts readily available, but the fix-up will cost an additional $50 without shipping. Any alternate items that I can sub in? As of the moment, I am not even sure if the TX-6 is operable, I will...

Found this great deal in Craigslist. NOT MINE! If I had the space (and time) I'd take em! http://sacramento.craigslist.org/grd/1172201210.html

Meet "Tails" He was sleeping like that and the flash woke him. Though he was a "free" puppy, I've already spend over $1k on vet, training, grooming and toys. He's my third dog, so I'm not truly a novice. He's about 13 months old, and is the result of an unspayed mutt + some neighbors Border...

This is for Coturnix quail... I recently introduced one male to a group of 6 females. They are in a rabbit hutch with 1/2"x1" wire floor and 1"x1" wire sides on 3 sides and plywood on one side. They also have a little wooden shelter inside as well. Today, I found one of my females battered with...

The stinky meaties are 2 weeks old today. I've been keeping them inside - wondering if now is a good time to move em out! My nights are about 55-60 F, daytime averaging 75-80 F (sunny California). They don't seem to need a heat lamp at all inside, even since last week. Should I transition...

These girls would eat anything else (my toes included) other than their starter crumbles. I'm very tempted to switch to layer pellets, though I know it's early but they don't have any grower pellets that are organic! They refuse to eat the 'fines', which unfortunately is what most of the...

I read through the forum & have determined it's likely vitamin deficiency causing this since it was a recent development. I will be purchasing Poly-Vi-Sol, but not sure of the best way to administer. How much to put in water, for all (even with those not showing symptoms)? or Dropping it...

My sister/bf/friends found a black bunny last night outside a Safeway. They only picked it up since it looked domesticated, well fed, and friendly. Unfortunately I'm not around right now to get a picture - all I know it's solid black, upright medium sized ears. I will be back hopefully tomorrow...

I 'narrowed' it down to two that I THINK it could be. I can't get better pictures - they're not mine. Broiler or NH Red? They are pretty much even colored on the top, yellow-ish on the bottom. One supposedly has a 'splayed leg' These were peanuts for ducks (7 of them). Thanks!

... you don't need to turn on the brooding light for your new chicks because its 100 degrees out (and in).

I recently moved to a somewhat work in progress single family home, with a large yard. It IS a fixer upper and various things are in need of repair, which I am slowly tackling. First major visible project - weeding out the large yard, fixing the run down (but usuable shed), and fence. I do not...

I love the mumbo-jumbo lingo that they use. It's ultimately VERY confusing and if I lived across the border in San Jose, I KNOW I could have 6 pullets enclosed at minimum of 15 ft away from anyone else's house (and end of discussion). This is what I get.... for a single family home. The...

Located in the SF Bay Area (south bay). I am looking to get a few (2-6) brown egg layers, organic if possible. I was thinking of adopting Easter castaways, but can't seem to find any. Or at least, local shelters don't list them. Does anyone know where I can get some locally for a reasonable...
