After a short bit of trying to find mom and the other fawn it will likely hook up with another doe. By this time of year they are weaned so it may do well. You can always hope. I agree with both of you, there is always the thought of bringing them home, but we all know it's wrong. It's the...

Bee somewhere on BYC, the meat bird section I think, there is the plan for a chicken shelter very similar to your sheep, but not tall sided. It was built on a square wood frame 'foundation' with the sides made of boards on edge so they were like skids with the front and back boards off the...

This is mule deer turf, but the white tails moved in after the forest fires of 2003 opened the area up. The whities are taking over big time, and many cross bred fawns are being seen, which all the wildlife experts say is a very bad thing. So this year they opened a season on white tail does...

Since I don't want to do my own oil changes or brake jobs I do not require my hubby to be present for chicken gutting. However I draw the line at him killing something and not cleaning it himself, or at least helping. No way that will fly or I'll spend way too much time cleaning up! He loves...

Have you considered dust mites too? Another common allergy that can drive my nose to plug right up. Do you have a central vacuum and do you use any of the mite products like Febreeze anti allergen? They really help me. Also yeast is a common low grade infection in the sinuses, go to a...

If I'm making one batch of bread I find kneading bread therapeutic, but more than that is a chore. I hated my bread maker so it got given away, I got a Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer from the main bread eater of the house for Valentines day. So.... he either loves me or my bread, I'm not sure. :lol...

Done

Try reducing your salt if you want a more open crumb. How many loaves is that making? I like open crumb so I keep my salt down to 1 tsp for a 2 loaf batch.

The products I used were wild Mediterranean oregano which is apparently not the same plant as the herb we cook with oregano. So really not sure what results you would be getting fermenting the spice leaves, but I can't see it hurting. http://www.joyofthemountains.com/ is the current brand I...

The fungal creams for athletes foot will all work topically, as do the powders like tinactin or Gold bond. Oil of Oregano or Oregano leaf powder added to his feed will cure him of harboring the yeast from the inside, I had to do that myself for 3 months once for a recurrent situation, topical...

I kept one hen that tore herself open on barb wire when she was about 6 weeks and I sutured up since she was too small to finish the job she started. :lol: Had not healed by the time everyone was to be butchered and I was not sure the wound had infection or not so she got spared. Then it...

I can't get it done that cheep either, but still for the time it would take me to do them myself (days if I do my usual batch of 200 for us and other family), if I pick up one extra day at work instead I have the cash to spend, I'm not sore and frustrated and the birds look better. So I totally...

What is your purpose for her? If your keeping her to breed then I would have it done since she has to be exposed to a bull and they can be carriers, as well as she might have to travel to his farm to see him. If she is for the freezer then I would not. Also look at the rates of the disease in...

Here a simple phone call will get you a permit number, you just need to have the Police file number to give them for the MVA. Mostly trappers collect the road kill in fall so they have bait for the trap lines all winter. Many dog breeders collect as well and I certainly have considered it...

I have done that type of set up. I also boarded for years. At 2 am no one is looking at your horses in either case. In the one self care place I was at there were more eyes around and more interested knowledgeable people than several of the boarding places I had been. The good side to that...

Cute Bee! I have had Vets tell me and even use themselves the same wormers so no worries there. The liquid is much easier to measure, I order it in from Jeffers for the horses and the dogs and it works out cheaper than the paste. I'd have left him with the litter to get the social life for a...

Yup, spam. But this time I removed the ads and banned, but left the thread for Free's thought provoking insight.

I have always allowed my BBW to free range and while they are not as good at it they do forage, and they keep the grasshopper population at nil on my land. We go to the neighbors and can't sit on the deck for the hoppers all over you. :sick I had BBB one year and for this place they range too...

I have always slow roasted my pumpkin seeds, no idea why I guess just did it that way the first time and have since. So here it's 200 degrees for hours. I'll have to try it hot next time and see if I like it better.

You can do it, and it's not as hard as it seems. Older birds, and heritage breeds will be harder to pluck and gut than the young tender meat breeds so don't let this experience turn you off doing meaties some day. I know I wondered how in heck anyone could do more than a few of these when I...
