Hi everyone we recently adopted a pot belly from someone getting rid of all their animals due to a bad divorce. We've had her about 23 days now and her lady parts have started turning red and swelling and I feel like she's gotten bigger since the day we got her. How can I tell if she's pregnant...
Hey everyone!
Exciting news that I found out over the weekend is that I'm pregnant (yay and scary)!
Something that has been lingering in the back of my mind though is can I keep my hens when my baby comes?
We have a okay-sized backyard that we let the chickens free-range around and my concern is...
Hi everyone!
I am pregnant (very early, 4wks and some change) and cleaned my chicken coop last week and today. I suddenly realized that may not be wise. I only have 2 chickens at the moment and live in a dry, hot climate. I use a straw bedding on top of rubber mats and the coop is kept clean...
Happy Fall everyone! So I got a Black Mini Rex doe three weeks ago. I got her off of craigslist, a lady was selling the last of her bunnies as she is now in college. I named the bunny Zinnia. She is one and a half years old. Very healthy, active, and curious. Her pedigree has lot's of show...
I have a doe that I could have sworn was pregnant. About 2 1/2 weeks ago she pulled about 3 hand fulls of fur out and was making a nest. She would have been 31 days on Monday so 33 days today. But still nothing. She was carrying hay around in her mouth a couple days ago, but when I came into my...
Let me start off by saying that this is a Nigerian Dwarf doe who had three 4 pound babies last year, two of which were born dead. This year she's been having almost constant moderate prolapses (about 2-3 inches out), which are more apparent when she lays down (about 3-4 inches out). Her mom had...

My husband and I are new to farming. We have chickens and a few goats. We bought a doe in June. The previous owner said she was about 8 weeks pregnant. Based on that information her due date was calculated between Sept 25- Oct. 7. She hasn't gone through a heat cycle, her bag has gotten fuller...
Ok, I am all for vets, but I cannot go to a vet due to a financial setback. My bun, Stormi, had 4 kits yesterday morning. She is bleeding again from her private and is acting the same way she did before she delivered her last kits. I know does have two horns that can produce two seperate...
Hi, So I have a miniature donkey that is supposed to foal sometime this week. I went to check up on her and there is a little bit of blood dribbling out. I don't know if this is normal because I missed the birth of my other mini. Is she and the foal okay? Or Is it just because she's going to...
I've been on 'vacation' (a work trip) since May 28th and will not be leaving until July the 19th. We left our four ducks, Astrid(f), Dupont(m), Max(m), and Pistachio(f) back home with their grandmother and their 13 chicken friends in a coop. They are all 'big ducks' now but I had to miss...
