I’ve looked and haven’t found this anywhere so forgive me if it’s well known, but, here’s my method for collecting eggs from a broody hen: I call it egg block. Basically you take an egg in your hand and when she wants to peck you you present the egg. Stroke her with the egg. Especially on the...

I'm looking for a companion for my 33'' gelding Big Ben. Since his buddy Mr. Chips died last a year ago (pushed on by advanced age and Cushings) he's been alone. I'm looking for another mini horse or even a mini donkey, in sound health and friendly. Doesn't need to be trained for anything...

Wow it's been awhile since I actually posted a question. So I'm wondering about my Delaware pullets. My question is: Just what kinda white are they? Dominant? Recessive? Do they have the silver gene? I have some clues *and pics* but don't know what I'm looking for or even if it's possible to...

My Buff Orp babies are about 7 weeks old... Cute huh? Anyhoo, I'm starting to see some new behavior from them and I'm wondering what it means. It starts with a shivery type of head shaking and ends with them sort of charging each other or one of the chickens. It looks a little aggressive...

Well, the (Buff Orpington) ducklings moved out to the coop last week and they are loving it! Here is a recap of their growth: The day I got them: Their first bath (about a week later): A trip to the pond (another week later): Here is one from 2-3 weeks ago (I can't remember )...

The Buff Ducklings are getting so big and the weather was so nice last weekend, we took a field trip to the little pond! See how big? After getting our feet wet... And cruising around a little... We got to eat some algae! Yum! The little boy thinks he can fly... But I don't...

We are getting so big, mama decided we need a BATH! (While she cleaned out our brooder!) See how big we are? This metal pond is fun! After our swim it was time to dry off. Have to dry our belly... Ahhh that's better! All dry! Now it's nap time... Hope you enjoyed the pictures...

After three years of waiting and researching I found a feed store that had ducklings, and the time is just right. I had a brooder all set up and my new coop is done and wow are they sweet!! We bonded on the drive home, which is great except they cry now whenever I'm out of sight I hope they...

I walked into the coop the other morning and found my hen in a predicament and I'm wondering... Did she hear me call it a 'chicken saddle' and decided it needed a bit? Or is this the rare and dreaded Atomic Chicken Wedgie?!

Big snowstorm here in Minnesota. It started yesterday and we got 19'' in the past two days, added to the 13'' we got last weekend! That's the most snow we've gotten in a one week period since 1982! You can see the icicles hanging off the roof have almost merged with the snow drift, and Mr...
