Mary,

How old is your Anatolian? I have a female that I couldn't trust with chooks OR lambs. I finally kept her tied on a 100' run near the chicken house. When she had her first heat, I had her...

Hey K&S, Good to see you here. I believe that you bought a Brinsea incubator from me last year? With the drought last summer, I kept a sprinkler going for the Pekins and Buff geese. I had the only...

Mary,

Sorry to hear your male isn't bird safe. Those E collars can really change a dog's attitude, though. Good luck!

I haven't had problems with crows or ravens in this area, although something pulled onion sets out of the ground in the garden up at the farm. I think maybe that could have been rabbits. We do have...

Hi, MaryAnn,

What sort of livestock do you keep?

Has anyone here heard of a John Barks from the Lexington area in KY?

He has several breeds of geese for sale;all adults. He says they are show birds. I'm going to take a road trip down there as...

I wonder if the squirrelinator would work for rats? After all, a squirrel is just a rat with a bushy tail.

I suspected as much, even though it's a brand new incubator, with brand new thermometers. Oh well.

Egg no. 3 is showing movement now. 4 is questionable. The other source has 7 Buffs under a...

Well, here we go....They are due to hatch on May 7th, but I've got two bumping the air cell right now. Hoping that at least 3 hatch. I bought 12 eggs. One had a hole in it that I sealed with...

Oh LORD! This isn't that other place, where everything has to be a pet, is it?

I belong to PETA--people eating tasty animals.

Vegetarian is an Indian word, meaning "poor hunter."

Terro is nothing more than a Boric Acid solution. I think Malathion would work, but that isa nasty chemical.

Another vote for Terro. Lowe's carries it around here. I especially like the plastic container that can. E used outside without fear of rain diluting the contents. I have the big, black ants that...

Thank you for the info. I am so glad to find a forum that doesn't treat poultry like surrogate children. I have located another breeder of Buffs with a goose on the nest right now, so should be able...

Well, I don't have Momma. I bought these eggs and have no other geese. They will go into a brooder in the garage after hatching, and then outside as the weather improves. So, no talking and no...

We have a little John Deere utility tractor, an 850. We also have an OLD beat-up Massey Ferguson 1105, that has taught me that the REAL name should just be MF, as in "THAT MFin TRACTOR!" It doesn't...

It's been YEARS since I raised goslings, so I would like some advice on how NOT to imprint them on myself.

My objective is to have calm geese; not pets.

How would be the best way to...

Well, besides the chickens and ducks, we've got two Icelandic horses, 1 Fjord gelding, and a Missouri Fox Trotter. Have two Anatolian Shepard Dogs, 5 bee hives, and a pair of Eclectus Parrots. Oh!...

LOL! What's the story about the Asian girls at the bottom of the page?

I set BEI eggs this year in my Roll-X. I took them because I was worried they would freeze in this freakish weather. I sprayed them with water and turned them by hand 3 times a day. Temp was 98.5. I...

Evy,

Do you keep your Mandarins in an aviary?
