I was wondering if there is anyone in Tucson who had their own fodder system that buys seeds locally. We just built a little system with auto watering for our rabbits and chickens but we can't seem to find anything local to actually sprout.
We don't really want to order online if we don't have...
Thank you guys so much! You may have just saved my entire flock. My MIL wants to spray the whole backyard with ant killer but I will try these first. I really don't want to make my chickens sick or worse.
I'll let you know how it all works!
Does anyoneknow how to get rid of ants? It's been raining lots here and now both of my coops and my brooders are swarmed with ants. I can't go anywhere near the coops without getting bitten half to death by ants so I can't imagine what is happening to the chickens. I moved some of the chicks...
hello Arizonans! So I built myself a cooler incubator and I wasn't expecting it to work as the temperatures were just not staying right, but I put a bunch of eggs in it to test it anyways. Now I have 13 baby chickens that I can't do anything with lol. Is anyone interested? I'm in Tucson.
half of...
I'm trying to spend as much time with my little one as possible. It will be a lot easier once the diaper arrives. For now she can only hang out with me in a towel burrito ha
How funny! I'm sure I'll be so lucky as to step in it at some point in this girls life!
I would LOVE to get an Emden! What did you think of them? After researching the last few months I picked out Toulouse and Emden as the breeds I liked the best. Ideally I would like to have one of each so...
I was told that goose poop was wet and messy compared to a chicken, and so far it definitely has more overall wetness, but it's not liquid. It's more like soggy sandy dirt. I don't know anything about ducks though... so I'm note sure how it compares.
Oh yeah!? I would love to get the pattern! I...
I actually make these =) This is the pattern I modeled mine after. I LOVE it for my serama, but I'm afraid it won't keep the mess away from my gosling since their poop is so watery. Might be great once she is full grown though!!!
Ahh ok. Well I don't show any of my animals. They are all pets or...
Brought her home!!!
She is so cute and fluffy. I am excited to design a new diaper for her. They have some available, but they are too expensive for me and use disposable human baby diapers, no thanks!
It doesn't say they are, but the feed store people aren't very knowledgeable. Is there a reason to get dewlap Toulouse? I prefer the looks of them without.
I have one =) I don't have chicks though. I REALLY like her. She is my favorite on my outdoor hens. I would really like to get into breeding them. If you are interested in splitting a hatching egg order PM me =)
My feed store just got Toulouse goslings!!! Aaand I think I convinced my husband to let me get one!
Do any of you have geese with your chickens? I think she will be a house goose, but she will get lots of time outside while I'm out there working.
She back to twisting a little bit, but it's not all the time.
I am hoping to pick some vitamins up this evening after dinner.
Just wanted to thank GalloDelCielo for his treadle feeder plans!!!
Built one for my ladies and their man just showed them how to use it!
They did break one...
I bought a pair of silkie chicks from a local lady and everything was fine until I went to move them to the row out brooder today. I haven't paid super close attention to them lately, so it could have been going on for a month or so.
She is 9 weeks. She rarely opens her left eye. She kinda...
I don't know, it was pretty freaking cold and the wind was blowing like mad RIGHT into his box. I would bet he had a little win tunnel in there.
It's a bummer. I think DH is more upset than me. He gets so much more attached to animals than I do. I have no problem enjoying their companionship...
