Meet Jack and Olivia. These two puppies are going to finish out over 100lbs. They need a job guarding livestock, or, a home. They're half German Shepherd half hound. Very loving, playful pups. They had a rough start in life and are ready for their fur-rever homes! Jack will need to be neutered...

Hi all! I recently adopted a kitten to bottle feed. She did great. Has moved on to some bottle some wet. However, the poor kitten is tremendously backed up. She is constantly in the squat to poop position. We cleaned her butt off again ( caked on dry poop ) and washed her feminine area ( like...

I have never seen this before. Went out to feed the growers and noticed I had one in a corner. Picked her up, and it appeared she had broken her neck and jaw. None of the other birds are showing any symptoms of distress. I don't know what she could have done, or how she could have done it, but...

Last update 5-9-15 The girls have started laying again for the season. All eggs are sent priority mail, wrapped individually in bubble wrap and filled with air bags/shredded paper/shavings to keep them from moving around. I usually fill with foam as well, but I am fresh out. Fertility...

Okay, so a few of ya'll have asked how progress is going around the farm as we clean up from the previous owners. This is the thread I've decided to start. I will include all pictures of new birds as they come in, old birds as they leave, and all buildings in progress. A little back story (...

I just had one of my customers call me and ask if I would be interested in processing ( and keeping the meat from ) their twelve hens to make room for their new hens. Not sure how I feel about it. I mean I don't mind but processing birds is hard enough process... She lives almost an hour away...

Need room in the pens, have to move a few hens around that are not needed for any current breeding project. 1 - Red Sex Link Hen, started laying in July.Really strong layer. $20 1 - Red hen ( has self blue under tones, blue tail, slate legs, etc. ) really excellent layer of large brown...

I was looking into getting some. However, I've read that they don't do so swell in warm climates. We're in the Piney woods, the area my pheasant pen is going into is very shaded and the wind blows right through. It IS still Texas, though, and it does still get stifling hot. Anyone have any luck...

Meet Mack the wonder dog. Due to changing circumstances his previous owner could no longer keep him. He's a very sweet boy with many small, workable issues. He's also super protective of me. This thread is to post on Macks progress with training him NOT to eat the cats. An aha moment, a...

Pretty sure that I'm dealing with cocci. Never had it in a single bird before. Situation: several days ago ( about Thursday or Friday evening or so ) said pullet fell into my frog pond while following me and her hatch mates around the front yard. Normal looking until today. Go to feed this...

Hello all! I just really want to brag on Tucker and his two ladies, who why not let everyone get some bragging time in? Just recently started seeing signs of a beard on Tucker. My #1 hen is still not laying, but my #2 hen is on a clutch of eggs. Royal palm eggs that made a trip all the way from...

MY ROYAL PALM EGGS ( from boykin2010 ) ARE HERE! I have been stalking around outside for the past two days waiting on the post man. Today I had given up and headed around the corner of the house to turn the hose on when I heard his all familiar honk. I must have looked like a kid in a candy...

Well today we decided we just couldn't stand it anymore, and processed two birds that were put in the pen this morning after not being fed all night. They weighed out at about 5 lbs dressed, and pretty well immediately went on the grill. Yes, we were impatient but it was SOOO worth it. Quartered...

A customer of mine brought me a little duckling from the park I study. This duckling appears to be out of one of the hens I am following, so I'd place it at a Thursday hatch ( at least that's when she was due to be done. ) He said he saw the poor duckling yesterday struggling to swim, and this...

Temps are running solid, but I'm going to attempt my first ever dry hatch. I have four duck eggs in the 'bator. Well, here's my total - 4 Muscovy eggs 1 Random egg from the yard Skylar wanted me to hatch 10 Hatch - hopefully at least 5 make it to lock down because they're sold!

This time last year Mama ( my horse ) and I packed up and moved across the country. We have since returned home to Texas after realizing we were better off here. For the first time since we got home safe, Mama and I hit the trails today. It was fantastic. We went down into the creek and followed...

Show me yours! I have a 20 or so year old fridge taking up space on my back porch that I would like to turn into a giant incubator out in the shed. Out there it will be protected from elements, and it stays in the 70s-80s even in the summer with the windows open. So. Show me your ideas...

Pretty sure I have two drakelets ( if I have that right ) and one duck. White duck - black and white / wild colored? Noticeable size difference makes me think the two black and yellows ( wild colors? ) are males... Also, any guesses on age? I'm thinking two weeks? Size 10...

EDIT: They're Black-bellied Whistling Ducks.... Now, what kind of housing? Any guess on gender? Found out what they were via this pic The local 'duck pond' at the college has two of these. ( Plus countless scovies, pekin, rouen, and cayuga... ) I have permission from the park to catch and...

Yup, that's right, you betcha... almost ALL of my hens are sitting. I have a pretty good idea of who sat when, based only on the fact that it would occur something like this: Well hello guys! Glad everyone is happy, no new injuries I need to know o- Well number 16, when did you decide that...
