Quote: Yeah, you can leash them. You can even train them to pull a cart. If you have a specific area you want cleared, you can stake them out within reach of it; just make sure they can't get hung up or wrap the lead around something; sometimes they aren't bright enough to reverse direction. Don't ask me how I know.

Welcome to BYC! Can you post a picture of it? Has it pipped internally yet?

-Kathy

I'm trying to figure out how



I'm not hearing anything chirping but from what I saw before the break I really thought it had an internal pip, the chick is still alive and moving there is blood too I wrapped it in a wet paper towel and put it back into the incubator. I'm really worried because it was on the bottom of the egg

That's What I was thinking as well. I've got lots of places I want cleared but ain't got the money to fence the entire property.

I'm not looking too be scolded, as I said this is a first for me and I have spent multiple hours researching . With the overwhelming amount of information combined with the fact that my eggs were shipped I felt I needed to check the position of the chick for fear of a malposition. I'm switching to my laptop now to try and upload a picture

Quote: One of the 1st things I did when kids got strong enough to get around good was to put a dog collar on them, with a strong "D" ring to snap a lead to, and grab hold of when need be. Got to fit snug enough so they can't hang a rear foot in it

No no!

My humidity was up in the 80s so I wanted it to come down some and I have a small opening I can get my hands in and out as to not loose all the heat so I just assumed it would be okay

Did somebody say goats!? Goats are great pets, they do not graze like sheep they eat woody stuff anything and everything so if you have landscaping you will need to fence it in!. My first goat was bought for it.s milk. My 2 month old son could not digest cow milk or baby formula. Her name was sally and she ate every weed in the yard, multiflora rose, pine trees, bark, leaves, poision ivy and any flower I had planted. I put her on a chain and she was fine in summer. Winter time she was free to roam, a creek runs around half of our 10 acres and the back half and north side was a fairly high hill and the hill was woods. She was like a bid dog with one horn. Husband was going to dehorn her but I did not want to take away her only defence against stray dogs coming into our neighborhood. I milked her twice a day and gave her peanutbutter crackers. I am not fond of Ohio's cold weather so I also milked her in the kitched by the back door. She sure cleaned up the poision ivy and to this day my son does not get the stuff, even when he cuts it down without gloves. I also had Angora goats for 10 years and fell in love with pigmy goats but gave them away, couldn't keep them off of the cars and they could squeeze through the smallest opening. Goats are good!
