    As much as they look like pigs my understanding is their closest living relative is the hippo.

    That is very true. If you believe evolutionary biologist, javelina evolved in the dense jungles of central central America where eye sight was less important than smell and hearing. if you have ever been close to them you know that they have a sent gland on their rump, you can watch them stand...

    I can tell you that javelinas are not true pigs, they are not carnivores or omnivores, they have a digestive system of a vegetarian, and to my knowledge there has never been any indication in diet and stomach content studies that javelina eat meat. There is also something to be said about...

    Really! this is news to me and very interesting. I have a bachelor degree in wildlife biology and retired from a 30 year career as a wildlife biologist in southern Arizona. At the time of my retirement there was no documented evidence of javelina eating meat. I would like to know more about...

    Javalina have long sharp (self sharpening canines) that can do extensive damage. They use them for rooting around and digging up roots. And they are very good in defense. For an animal that is virtually blind they come in handy for defense. Since they see very poorly they often feel threatened...

    Coyotes rarely enter enclosed areas and do not kill indiscriminately. Javalina are strict vegetarians and only attack when threatened. I had a problem with a raccoon a couple of years ago. It would reach through the chicken wire at night grab a duck or chicken and pull all the breast meat off...

    Anybody out there with bantam cubalayas, that will sale me hatching eggs. I order some day old chicks from Cackles, they were weak and only three survived. Two roos and one hen, not much to start a flock with. Cackle's appears to provide bantam cubalaya chicks for all the other hatcheries. I...

    kind of ironic that Soylent Green was mentioned earlier in the thread. A movie I watch every few years. People's lives controlled by gigantic corporations, without the people knowing what is really going on. spooky

    For the last year or so I have been buying bags of the small cylindrical alfalfa pellets at the feed store, soaking a couple of handfuls of them in water for a few hours and feed it to my chickens and ducks. I pull their feed containers of lay crumbles out in the afternoon and give them a pan of...

    My wife grew up in Hatch, and one year was the runner up for Chile Queen. This Southern AZ boy who thought he knew chile has learned a lot since. I am almost despondent these days my stomach can only put up with tiny amount of chile every once in a while. I have not been able to grow chiles here...

    I have had NNs in the past and I really like them. I keep thinking about getting them again, but have been trying other breeds. Right now my only roo is a bow tie NN. He was given to me as a baby. I don't know what else he has in him. A dark blue with brassy saddle feathers. I like him, he is a...
