We...
I had one that did that, I put a medium size stuffed cat in with them, did the trick! Sure did look cute, those chicks snuggled up to a stuffed black cat!!
Contact your Animal Control, they often know of low cost spay/neuter clinics. Pretty much all the stray cats in Pender Co. seem to end up at my house!! Thankfully, we have a clinic nearby.
OK, guys, I have a "duck" question. I have looked at BYC's duck forumn but could not find an answer. And, I know how smart all of you are, so I know someone will have an answer!!
We have ducklings, 7 are about 2 to 3 months old, and 4 that are about 5 months. At present, they are in a...

Jon, so sorry to hear about your loss. One of our first Cochin hens just dropped dead one day. No marks, no clues, I googled and asked and researched, but never found any answers. There was something called sudden death syndrome.
Went back to work today after being out for over a week with the crud. Two rounds of antibiotics and one of steriods later!! We went to WCA on Sunday and had fun, met Mary , sure was good to meet in person!! Came home with 4 Columbian Wyndotte pullets for our CW roo. Also 4 teenage ducks, and 7...

We are finally going back to WCA!!! We have only been once, and that was months ago!!! DH has been working since then so we couldn't go. BUT, now he is home for a while, and our Mem. day boat outing isn't looking so good, forcast for rain/wind!! So, WCA, here we come!!!! I know , from reading...

We put Mama C. and her 5 chicks into the grow out coop ( AKA: old rabbit hutch ) . So far, they are staying in the house part, hoping that tomorrow they will venture out so I can see them better! Did reach in a couple times to scoop one up for a little snuggle. Mama C. is much more fiesty than...
OK, here are some pics of the new babies!!! Ready for some cute???
It is so very amazing to me how fast they grow. Think about a human infant, how dependent on others we humans are. These little guys are up and going on day one! One little guy escaped today, ran into the Jersey Giant's...
OK, so I counted my chickens before they hatched.......We have 5 babies, and did have 3 eggs left. But, even tho 1 was pipped he did not make it, the other 2 were not fully developed. So, we will be real happy with the new quints!!! Then while gathering eggs, i tripped on a chicken or 2 or 4 or...
We have babies!!!!!!! They started hatching 3 days ago. This is our first hatch and I did not know they could hatch so many days. I thought they would all hatch in one or two days and then be done. So far, we have 6 chicks, 1 pipped and 2 remaining eggs!! They are so very cute!! And , so tiny...
