Grew up catching red eared sliders and keeping them as pets. I 100% know about turtles, lol. We used to catch fish out of our stock ponds to feed them and you have to change the water 3 or 4 times a week but they sure do love it better than turtle feed. Have one now named Michelangelo that I...

Best pet you can ever buy for your neighbor. Only animal I've ever had that refused to stay anywhere on my 90 acres.

Rabbits are a cakewalk, getcha a couple coons or squirrels.

Yep but somebody gonna chime in about how their great granny's uncle sue made his chickens snort a line of it 3 times daily and they laid 4 eggs a day because of it. They put 3 shots of ACV in the chickens water and now they do college calculus.

diatomaceous earth and/or apple cider vinegar both have gotten some myths of being some cure all miracle cures. You name it and somebody is gonna try to claim one or the other cures it. The fact of the matter is DE has been proven to cause respiratory issues in both chickens and people. I've yet...
