A hawk got one of my ducks today. She was about 5 months old. I am really not happy about it because she was almost ready to start laying. But the hawk only ate her head and her body is intact. I put her in the fridge in case we would be able to eat it. She was laying outside for probably...

Cute! Is that one in the back fawn and white?

If your white roos are clean legged they are probably white rocks. If they are feather legged they are probably cochins. I agree with Bee for choosing the white rock. They will fill your qualifications.

I second that. Get 2 or 3 of everything you like and then you can try out many breeds. I have done that and found some I thought would be my favorites I don't like that much and some surprised me with how much I liked them. I also have that book! Storey's Guide to Poultry Breeds. Must be...

Yum! Chicken liver cooked with onions and red pepper on rice is what I had for lunch. My kids like it too.

Chicken liver pate is the best! Mash cooked livers, some cooked onion, butter, salt and pepper. Refridgerate and serve cold on any variety of crackers or toast. The rest of the gizzards gets cut up small for the dogs.

Sorry you are having to deal with this. Do you have anyone that could help out? Personally I would "borrow" the pictures. Or tell him you want the pictures in exchange for taking care of his animals. Would your mother have wanted you to have the pictures? My father threw away almost all our...

I look at ad papers and when I see something on sale I use I stock up. So lowest regular prices may be at Walmart but not the lowest you can pay!

Sorry for your loss. :(

I had a dog with yeast problems in the ears. This is what worked and I only had to apply it a few times. Prescription diaper rash ointment for babies.

When you feel miserable enough you will do it. I was tested by my doctor and was told the test was not very accurate and would probably need to have the probe test which basically scrapes the cilia from your intestine wall. Very unpleasant and he recommended not to bother with that test. He...

Thank you all for your prayers. We decided to put her down. She was very sick and the treatment was too costly with no guarantee of a good outcome. We miss her terribly. It is so hard to believe she is gone. I would like to know how to prevent this from happening in the future as we have...

Well, I took her into see the vet. It turns out she is diabetic. They didn't think the sweet potato skins had anything to do with it. She probably has been a diabetic for a few weeks. They said she has Diabetic Ketoacidosis (sp) is dehydrated and has kidney disfunction. They are not sure...

Blow up your pictures of family to hang on the wall so they are more easily seen. If she will be near a window hang a bird feeder. Plants that are hardy. Something she has an interest in like a small quilt if she likes quilting. Hope your grandma gets well soon. :hugs

She is hanging out by her water bowl. When I gave her the last little bit she acted like she wanted it but then again didn't want it. I just don't want to make her worse.

Thank you everyone. Savingdogs Thanks for explaining to me what they would do. It helps me to feel better prepared. She really wants to drink water right now but with her vomiting again I am not sure if and how much I should give her. I just gave her 1 Tbsp of water. Or should I withhold...

She vomited again. :( If you pray, please pray for her. I may have to bring her to the vet.

Even if your house is not well insulated covering up ALL your windows can make a great deal of difference. Use plastic AND blankets, or thick drapes. If there is any possible way to close up your upstairs and sleep downstairs I would do so. Remember heat rises so if you can shut a door to...

I gave her some cooked rice with ground beef and she still is not interested in food. :( She did want water though. I gave her just a small amount. Hopefully she will keep it down unless she still has sweet potato skins in her. Then I hope she throws up. She has perked up though. Next...

I think people gave their leftover sweet potato skins on Thur. and Fri. I didn't know they were toxic for dogs. It appears nothing was digested at all. It is all coming up. She didn't eat anything since Sat. or Sun. except water and eggs. Well she vomited one more time. More sweet...
