I'd like to start breeding mule foot

OK, I'll bite. What is a "mule foot" that is something you can breed. Surely not breeding mules for their feet.

You all had me thinking I'd accidentally logged on to backyardherds with all that foal incubating discussion

There are worse places to go! I always have both BYC and BYH up on tabs in one Chrome window.

We used to have neighbors that raised pit bulls in not so great conditions...poor dogs barked almost non-stop. One day I dragged a radio outside, turned it up full blast and those dogs completely stopped. That radio came in handy that summer.

Of course, then the radio was blaring so it was a matter of which noise to listen to.

Dogs hear really well, maybe it would have worked equally well at a lower volume?

Mulefoot, a breed of pigs.

Cap, your baby bunnies are so adorable! I love your building apprentice too.

Here are my cuties:

I had to get up in the night as one of the Coturnix (bigger ones) was complaining most piteously. I sprinkled a bit more food right under the light and that seemed to make it happy. I got some sleep after that!

I had to go clothes shopping yesterday. We are having some family photos done on Saturday so I needed something nice to wear. At least birds seem to be on trend this year - I now have two pretty bird tops, one covered in cranes and the other in swallows.

Love the babies! Mine yell so loud you can hear them downstairs! They eat the smallest bits of feed and kick the bigger bits out. I swear they have doubled in size already!

Oh and i wanted to show you the upstairs sand bath! They really will use ramps!

I have studied up on a lot of animals over the years. I had 3 american guinea hogs when we lived in TN. I liked that breed as my sows never did get over 200 pounds. I will have to tell you about the pig rodeo some time.
