Halloween/Thanksgiving Hatch-a-Long 2019

So you have a beagle just like mine! Lucy hates guns and hides when she hears them. She can hunt a sock though. If you drop it anywhere in the house she will find it. She hunts mice too, but drops them once they don't squeak anymore like it's a broken toy. We have all her paperwork, $1200 these people paid for this dog with training and all then they give her away for free when she's 3... I don't get it

I am absolutely floored by what people throw away!

I asked an embarrassing question, got further embarrassed, but no answer. I learned my lesson. Never ask if a pig can fly in the quail threads.

People toss animals like trash. I know some have good reason to rehome animals, but there's people out there who literally drive to the woods and throw their animals out.

I'm a big animal person and I get some things happen in people's lives where they're helpless, but dang drive the animal to my house or a shelter at least so they can be cared for.

Our latest dog was found wandering the back roads of Georgia, alone and starving, at three months old. Who in the world dumps a defenseless puppy, like that ... and no, she wasn't feral. She was too friendly to be wild-born. She certainly landed in the right place, though. She's one spoiled rotten ditz!

Maybe there's a new strain ... There are lots of porcelain birds, why not porcine?!

Okay, so I didn’t ask about pigs.

Around where I live people ditch roosters in the woods because they don't want people to eat them and no one will take them unless it's for meat... Like ditching them is a better option. They just get eaten by wildlife!

I have had a cat and three ducks left here that I know of.

There are stray cats all-around our property. I put food out for them and let them sleep in our shed. They haven't bugged our chickens and kill all the rodents so it's a win win pretty much.

Days 1-3? That makes sense, to get them well-started, but I didn't know this - that's a great tidbit to hang onto!

Something ive read on the site glad to pass it along! I think i remember it is when their circulatory system, heart and brain and forming?

You might also appreciate the information that turning is most important day 4-14. As well as helping the circulatory system grow evenly it helps make the chick exercise. Weak chicks are one outcome of an unturned or under turned egg.
