Thank you for the support. It’s really surreal that we had to do that, I feel a guilt for some reason. I treasure all animals but this was unlike anything we’ve ever dealt with. He did have a nice life, mud holes, snacks and regular meals so I hope that counts for something. I hope he’s at peace...
Well we had to make the decision to put the pig down last night. My husband came home and he had all the horses cornered in a stall and was trying to get aggressive towards my husband. I feel bad about it but I can’t have my family and my other pets in harms way. If he’d cut one of the horses...
I know. We’ve already had 2 accidents and I am honestly scared of him most of the time. I just struggle with putting down an animals that’s not technically suffering, but on the other side, I do not want my family hurt. I just wasn’t sure if this is abnormal behavior.
So to spare you a long story, I have 3 pot belly pigs that wandered into our yard several years ago. 2 females and one neutered male. I wasn't sure he was neutered, but my farrier assured me if he wasn't I'd see it. So, even though he's neutered, he seems to retain the characteristics of an...
I know her food is fresh, I'm texting her to get some photos. We live in Florida. Thank you.
Her friend told her they test for free one time a month or something like that, but I can't seem to find that information.
Good morning everyone,
I'm posting this for my friend who has lost half her flock, about 10 chickens/chicks in the past week. She had purchased two turkens that were about 2 weeks old and added them to her baby chick coop. The two turken babies died suddenly over night about 3 days later, they...
Hi all,
We recently lost my son's most favorite hen in the world, Macaroni, who was an OE bantam, she was black with a red chest, not sure which kind, doesn't really matter. But we'd like to try to hatch some more of these wonderful little chickens. I'm having a hard time finding eggs though...
I'm almost positive that's what it was because we have two coops side by side with some small panels in between, so we know that a raccoon wouldn't fit through that because the small chickens were on the other side but we getting dragged through the small panel. So I looked on the other side of...
We just had a rat problem and got 3 of my little bantams. All it did was decapitate 2 of them, and grab at one of my bantam ducks. We thought it was a small raccoon that got in, then realized it would still be too big. Finally found the small hole where it was getting in. It got my son's...
Hi all!
We've had 3 pot belly pigs wander into our yard for a while now but one of them has head tilt and is now sometimes dragging his front leg on the same side a little when he walks. I assume from the very little I know about pigs (which is nothing!) that this might be an ear infection? We...
Sorry, that was unclear. I meant that we had some previous chicks hatch and I had brought in a hen to take care of them. This was one last chick that hatched out in my coop and I thought the hen was doing a good job taking care of it, but when we went out later, something had happened. I'm sad...
