Remember also that a heart condition can cause fluid in the lungs. it can also cause a type of pneumonia. Hope he is better this evening.

Sadly it does sound like heart disease. I finally figured out what was causing the death of my flocks in the mtns. Ducks, I think. I have a wild flock of ducks next door and they kept coming to my backyard to rest during the day. They are mallards, thus protected or they would be gone. One...

I wish I could see her but health and distance do not allow. I enjoy reading your post.

OH! roosters !!!! I have a rooster that is very jealous. I was feeding the girls out of my hand and Stoney jumped over them catching me off guard. He got a strong hold on my hand and almost took a bite out. Wow! I will have to watch him from now on. His genetic.s aren't pure so he is pushing...

I LOVE my wood heat. I wish the government would govern and leave my personal life alone. There are to many restrictions as it is. IF ITS MY LAND AND i DO NOT HARM ANYONE ELSE LEAVE ME ALONE. oH, I hate the constant restrictions on us. I feel they are there just so local governments can...

Normally here we have bear that walk by at night but they bother the bird feeders worse than anything. Seldom do you hear of problems unless the humans start feeding them.

HECTOR heard a rival. He maybe fiestier than even normal for a bit. Oh! there are bears coming out all over because of the fires, be careful.

Yep! they say California is different. I am on the coast of nc right now but my heart is with our mtns there. My neighbor says there is so much black ash in the air that it appears to be. rainning black snow. Her poor fowl and horses. rain is not anything but a prayer right now. Soo very sad...

I'm with you , if they really cared about the dogs they would have been hunting them and asking around about them. I know my brother has hunters and is very upset if one gets out. He knows the danger that the dogs would be in. Most hunting dogs are not use to strangers and do not like to be...

Your Brahmas are really beautiful. Betsy esp. I have never had that kind of hens. Do they lay well? As you said they are fluffy looking. I doubt I will be up in the hills early enough to hatch the eggs so they would lay the first season. Maybe if you have chicks next Spring I could get a...

I soo wanted to have a nice flock again. Just a dozen good birds. I wanted a few English orps. They are so bustly and the tails waddle when they walk. Now I will have to wait until this runs its course. Waiting when you are over 70 is a crap shoot :) Thanks for the information. Maybe this...

We are of an age where we have to downsize. I hate not being able to plant in the yard, tend to my acreage here. I nor my hb are really able to keep our mtn side like we would like it. Its either let some of it grow up or hire someone. Who do not do a good job, unfortunately. As you know we...

Poor Gloria Jean is right. Last yr., like a foolish idiot I got rid of my flock.(who were healthy) My husband had been unhappy with my health and wanted me to slow down some more. After 2 months I could bear it no longer and got chicks again. Oh, what a joy. I got 6 from TC and then went to...

Does anyone know whether there is a shot or med to prevent ms/mg and some of the other resp. diseases, I bought some beautiful Part English ladies and gents. They ar 20 + weeks old and laying. My ladies are dying with a sneeze and the paralysis. They were beautifiul until the sudden spurt...

What kind of chicks are the wild patterned ones? I have been hunting for some easter eggers or amerucanas near me. I do not drive very far anymore.

My Grandmother use to buy feed and scratch grains for her chickens in feed sacks. They were pretty sturdy cotton. Patterns of all different kinds I know she made quilts from the scraps left from making clothes for us little ones. The patterned pieces may have been from them. I wish they still...

Beautiful little chicks. Can I use your knowledge? I have new chicks all are growing running , eating jumping hulligans but two are much larger and breath so heavy that They appear to have run for a mile. This has been going on since I got them. They are from a different batch. I can not see...

Just like her namesake.. I love my freedom and hate being shut in.

She is pretty and gypsy is still a doll. Classy girls. I think I will call tc and find out when their chick days are here in Shallotte. They are only 1 mile from my home here. too close, Ha !!! Ha!! very tempting.

Oh My Gypsy. How is that sweet girl. I bet you have snow this morning. I talked to a friend in Franklin and they have what I call potato chip snow. You know when a lot of flakes stick together and sort of float like a heavy potato chip to the ground. So pretty but very wet. I finally got...
