    How soon after permethrin treatment can I bathe my dog?

    My dog recently rolled in something on a walk and developed 3 small bumps on his back that seemed like mosquito bites, long story short they stayed the same for 2+weeks, then suddenly erupted into an angry, weepy rash and I ended up shaving the area and treating for mites and parasites. I...

    Question about turkeys flying

    Hi everyone, I’ve been out of touch for a few months. I have 3 midget white turkeys, about 8-9 months old, I’m wondering if they are good flyers? I have a 30-40 foot branch dangling over my aviary, and I was afraid it would fall and hit the turkeys. The tree is on public land in the town next...

    Bad luck I guess

    I hatched 5 chicks, they’ll be 6 weeks tomorrow. I’ve had issues with one getting aggressive that I posted about. I wanted to cull him, so I asked everyone if they thought he was male. I culled him. Now, about 3 days later, I walked into the room for a harmony of crowing attempts! They’re all...

    5.5 weeks, I know it’s early to ask gender, but I want to cull him

    This is a barnyard mix, mostly Cochin. Up until a few days ago everything was fine and I had no trouble waiting a couple months to know for sure, but this one Maple, has started viciously attacking me when I change the food and water and play with them. I accept that, but last night he viciously...

    Is holding the tail up high a male trait?

    I have 5 barnyard mix chicks. I received eggs from a friend, they have Cochin genes, as well as maybe serama as well as silky. This one is Ginger, and it’s my favorite, but “she’s” (wishful thinking) the largest, and usually the most quarrelsome and is often the main chest bumper. She also...

    My first keeper chickens

    Normally I keep quail, but currently I just have 3 turkeys. I had ordered meat chicken hatching eggs and only 3 of 19 hatched, 5 had been smashed and scrambled in shipping and the box was beat up. One chicken ended up dying early on for seemingly no reason which I hear isn’t unusual for Cornish...

    Housing turkeys

    I have a few midget white turkey poults that I am growing out for the freezer, but I plan to keep a few (2-3) through the winter in hopes they will lay eggs that I can hatch for more next year. I have an aviary I am finishing up that is a former greenhouse that I removed the plastic tent part...

    I suspect these are not what I ordered, midget whites?

    I ordered hatching eggs from eBay and recently hatched 4 turkey chicks that are supposed to be midget whites. 3 out of 4 have light dusty red on their heads and shoulders, and a more generally pale pale beige all over their body, one is solid pale yellow as I expected them to look. The 3 colored...

    Just ordered my first chicken hatching eggs!

    I just ordered my first chicken hatching eggs. I’ve raised quail for meat and eggs for a couple years now, and with all the talk about food shortages I wanted to be sure I’ll have some chicken in the freezer. I’m not a huge fan of quail meat, my son loves it, so do my dogs lol, and all of our...

    I have an interesting button quail, m/f?

    The current chicks are all cinnamon red breasted. From the front and top, typical hen: But then there’s this: I’ve read that red at the vent means male no matter what, but she really looks like a hen in all other ways, and the orange at the tail looks more like an extension of the back...

    Chick hatched with lump on its bottom, any hope?

    One of the cinnamon Coturnix hatched, theres one more that looks like it might hatch. My reship was sent today, but I’d like to save this chick if possible. I’ve never had a chick with something like this survive, normally I cull when they start to go downhill. The lump is firm, not hard or...

    We got a hedgehog last week! Cute pics!

    We used to have hamsters, and often, we would take out the hamsters in the evening and play with them as a family, but as hamsters do, they got older and passed at 2-2.5 years which is pretty good for a ham. We’ve been without a small caged mammal for 2 years or so, and I had my blind quail in...

    Odd color button quail

    This guy is from my red breasted/darth Vader eggs that I ordered and had shipped. I’m wondering what this color might be considered. I call him Gandalf because he’s kind of a dirty gray. He has red and blue feathers showing up on his chest, and red coming in underneath and on the wings...

    Pics of my red breasted button chicks at 4 1/2 weeks

    I decided which male I’ll keep, this guy is the most black, no barring and pencilling on the feathers, nice black head, I think he will mature into a nice darth Vader. I placed him and the red breasted ladies in a small bin to take some pics to ask the breeder which he thought was best to get...
