    Decrowing Roosters.

    My goodness, I guess you put me in my place. I was selfish and cruel to decrow Wally and I should have found him a new home. Well there goes another of my freedoms. I loved Wally and I would do the same again if I faced the same situation. I also have my male rabbits neutered so they can...

    Thanks for the info. I will see what the future holds as far as being able to buy something out of city limits.

    Decrowing Roosters.

    I am glad that the vet that taught Dr James the procedure did my Wally. I would never have had it done if the expert wasn't right there locally.

    Decrowing Roosters.

    Dr. James, when I lived in AZ Dr B decrowed my little serama rooster, Wally. It was pricey but I was glad I had it done. There were no complications and Wally could still say er er instead of er er er er ER!! He was a special pet and keeping him meant a lot to me. He fathered some half serama...

    Regarding the use of commas, here's an example: Let's go see if the chickens will eat Gramma. Or: Let's go see if the chickens will eat, Gramma.

    need manual for Farm Innovators 2200 incubator

    Can I reply to an old thread? Here goes, I just got the 4200 and there was no manual. Is there any mention of adding water for humidity? It didn't come with a liner or mention ordering one separate and I can say for sure that the Styrofoam is not waterproof. I have a liner in my Little Giant...

    When I lived in AZ I went to a dr appt in Snotsdale where dr's offices are very lovely. While waiting in the inner sanctum for my turn I realized I had chicken poop on my blouse. Big sigh.........

    Quail newbie looking for feedback

    Yes, I am interested in buttons. But due to the weather I might have to wait til spring. It has started snowing on the pass so getting to Seattle is going to be hard for me w/o studded tires. I hate to see winter coming and I miss the blue sky and sunshine of AZ......... KB

    Quail newbie looking for feedback

    Glad to hear the gimpy one is doing better. Maybe you can call him Forrest Gimp. I am jealous. When I moved here to WA state from AZ I had to give away my buttons, blue scaled, bobwhite and coturnix quail. Also chickens, ducks, pheasants and doves. I now have 8 coturnix but can't find buttons...

    Quail newbie looking for feedback

    Congrats on your first chick!! I have put a small stuffed animal (actually a Ty beanie duck) in with the babies to snuggle up to. Seems like the Ty duckie holds some heat. It is cute to see them all snuggled up to it. I used it for the baby call ducks that I hatched, too. Also, a brick inside...

    Just thought I'd pop in and say hey to all. Here it ellensburg it has been in the 90's forever. Only way to stand it is to keep fans blowing on us. Have angora rabbits in the livingroom with 2 fans. Moved all other rabbits into enclosed back porch with fan. Now we are dealing with smokey air...

    It was around $400 for the surgery but I moved into an area with a fenced acre and the realtor said I could have animals and then a "lady" about 3 acres away complained so I gave away my white silkie pair and my sweet black frizzle roo but refused to part with Wally, the little serama. There is...

    Just some general info for sick chickens etc. When I had my rooster decrowed, I was taught by the vet's office how to tube feed him with ProSoBe formula. You use a long flexible tube on the end of the syringe with the food in it. Gently slide the tube down the throat toward the left until you...

    Surprisingly, the Phoenix area has some animal friendly neighborhoods. there are lots of homes with an acre or less in town with horses and anything else allowed. When I first moved there I was surprised to see a flock of sheep in a front yard. There's a swath of land running east to west...
