We have a billion baby rheas hatching at the moment & don't live in a country where ratite food is available. Many chicks lose strength in their knees & can't get up although their legs are straight. Also some have one or two legs turning out from the knee as they grow & then they splat. Any...

Gimpy was born in my friend's university laboratory almost 2 months ago with a few hundred other naked & feathered chicks. He was bred to one day possibly help alleviate hunger in hot countries where poor farmers can't afford to cool their chicken houses for Cornish cross. He specifically...

Here's a video of my crazy new additions. They love to play fight. They are featherless leghorn bantams, crossed with silkies for the skin color. Worth a watch :-) [VIDEO] Info on gimpy in the 3rd post.

Here's my baby boy who measures over 15.2hh & weighed in at just over 1000lbs yesterday :-) He's a Feb '11 stud colt who has a wonderful, loving nature & a powerful jump. I'll be putting him into long lines in the next few months in preparation for a 2 wheel carriage until he is mature enough...

Felix D is very happy in his new enclosure that my boss built me in the dairy. He loves veggies & fruit. Today I found my boss feeding him watermelon, prickly pear & mango scraps Thought I'd add some new photos of him for compliment fishing. He's still very sun faded in some of the pics from...

I've had a rescued Galah for a few months & she is very emotionally unstable, feather plucking & massive fear issues but she's a very loving bird. 2 months ago I started working a ridiculous amount of hours a day & I feel that she is very lonely so after a trial with a neighbor's Tiel, I got her...

Shoshanna, the Cameroon hair sheep just doing what she does normally:

He's a good boy & very chilled out. He is just over 1 years old. Videos:

I've taken half ownership (soon to be full) of the colt I wanted. On his first birthday a few weeks ago, we measured him at just under 15.1hh & string tested him at 16.3/17hh!! I gave him a bath before the pics which he didn't behave fabulously for & today we trimmed his hooves but in the pics...

The story starts here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/646996/cameroon-lamb-pics Here's the little one being a brat last night:

I went to visit a friend with Friesian horses 3 days ago & he mentioned that there had been two Cameroon Sheep twin births that morning but that one set of twins had no suck reflex & one had already died. I had no choice but to take on the other, a little ewe & after a night of begging, I got...

After visiting a friend with a new baby in the north for most of this week (also convenient for avoiding all the missiles landing around my house), I decided to pop into the parrot breeding farm in their village, on my way home. Somehow, I walked out with my Dream in a cardboard box & a bag of...

The nakeds had a lovely day outside, lounging in the sun.

What are good forums/sites where I can get opinions on my sporthorse colt?

I saw this colt for sale down the road from me so I thought I'd ask opinions. The photos are awful but it's just a sneak peek til I see him. His sire is the Friesian, either imported from the Netherlands or F1 in the country. His dam is the paint mare pictured & very similarly marked to the...

Do any even exist?? I was just online looking at some of the fabulous birds & animals for sale. I'd love to meet someone with my passion for exotics but it's not exactly a common hobby. Imagine a heated room themed for relaxation: a pond with Mandarins & African Pygmy Geese, songbirds in bamboo...

My cat & dog love each other. It's ridiculous how much they play. Here's a video for those who haven't seen:

My AHT is almost 2 & is more of a puppy than she was at 3 months old She's fabulously trained & obedient but just such a puppy It's like having an almost 2 year child in the house & after a hard day of work, I often just don't have the energy to keep up with her but I feel bad for her so I...

A small stray kitten showed up at the dairy last week-I guess someone dumped it. I'm so not a cat person but I've been giving it milk & some cat food out of pity & it's attached itself to me. It comes when I call, rolls on it's back to beg for tickles & let me put it on my lap today for the...

I've been thinking about getting a hairless rat & I'd love to know the pros & cons of both sexes. Also what age (in weeks) to get them to ensure that they tame down well?
