    fruiting hedge/bush for chickens?

    Disappointed with Bielefelders

    My Bielefelders are disappointing layers. I have five that are in their second season laying. They put out eggs well for maybe two months then production drops to one or two eggs a week total, then nothing. It's done for the year within three months! They're friendly hens and help keep bugs and...

    runner duck - cough or hiccups? aspergillosis?

    I think you’re on the right track with that dosage Terbinafine orally twice a day. Having had a dog with disseminated coccidioidomycosis I’m familiar with the difficulties of treating fungal infections. If the species of aspergillus your duck has is resistant to Terbinafine you might see no...

    A Bielefelder Thread !

    Wish I had seen this thread with comments about eggs. My Bieles are big and friendly birds but only laying 2 to 3 unuepectedly small eggs a week. I'm disappointed with the breed and wouldn't get again, but like them too much to put them in the pot.

    My ducks star in their own series!! ❤️ lol 😆

    Good job. Very clever stylistically! Audio could be clearer. I didn't understand a single word of one of the ducks, I guess it's Freddie.

    Is the Tesla Cybertruck ugly or not?

    Seven years with a Chevy Bolt EV and we have no complaints. Would never go back to a gas vehicle. An assessment on vehicle licensing compensates for loss of gas tax in WA.

    Raising toad eggs

    Following! I have a toad living in my greenhouse. It burrows into the soil under the plants and seems to enjoy being watered with them. Have no idea how it got in there as the greenhouse door is always closed, but I'm happy to have it living there. I think it's a Western toad, too.
