You can definitely teach an old dog new tricks, so to speak. Will he stand with other men? Is trimming them yourself an option?

If it’s airways are clear, mom licked nose, then leave it to learn on its own. It can take a little while.

What the heck y’all? Tonight’s feeding started with a chicken jumping in my arms so I could carry her to the coop, she hopped down as soon as we got there. Then I have migrating birds...flying the wrong direction! The geese were actually nice to me, which doesn’t happen. The geese don’t bite...

I actually don’t have any lgds right now. We don’t really have enough land to make them worth it. As far as guardian animals(aside from dogs) you will always get them in pairs so they won’t get lonely but they may have trouble accepting new creatures on “their” land. We actually have geese for...

I agree, it’s just black. Looks thin too.

Animals, as a general rule, will do everything to throw you off their scent and drive you crazy. Each animal, and each animal’s pregnancy is going to be just different enough to keep you on your toes. And don’t suggest that one ALWAYS does it the same way, because they will change their entire...

Those things are so freakin’ cute! If I find them I will get them. But we don’t have any around here as far as I’ve heard. And my capital is a bit small to start so not a likely possibility to get any from elsewhere. But just maybe someone will have little sheep!🤞

I love my whethers, but the lambs will help pay for themselves. Plus, I’d like to try milking the ewe and could use some practice with babies. But I might end up with a whether at this rate lol.

I understand what you are saying, but I have family who worked and is working in both Italy and American hot spots. It is not nearly as bad as the news says it is. The worst and most dangerous part of the virus is actually the genuine emergencies that are being ignored because they aren’t Covid...

Well, I found some wool sheep over two and a half hours away, and they’ll have lambs for sale in the spring. Corriedel/teeswater crosses and straight teeswater. They sound good, but a bit big:ep. I know, I know, livestock is big. But I’m petite and these guys aren’t! I’d have to lease land or...

We had a rabbit (pet) that lived with wry neck her whole life. Sometimes it got a little better, sometimes it was a bit worse. If the rabbit isn’t in pain then you can try a range of different things.

Have you heard of Romanov sheep? I’ve never had sheep, and had similar questions. But the internet says you can spin with Romanov wool, and supposedly it is very durable.

They are soo fluffy! Congrats and welcome!

Oh brr, first cold day! Which means heat lamps up, and I need to finally make the duck shelter I’ve been wanting to. And, as per usual, I’ve waited too long and now have to do it in the cold. But, I will hopefully have a larger duck shelter by tonight. Speaking of ducks, my ducks eggs keep...

The fowl aren’t too bad because they are outdoors, but indoor rabbits is a whole different animal, literally lol. Spiders, heatstroke, fly strike, goat shelter damage. Basically a bunch of stuff that makes them not so much an option. My ducks are pets, and I can pick them up and bury my nose in...

It’s Halloween and we have horned goats. Or a druggie. Either way NOT welcome.

Roaches can carry nasty nasty things, like eye worm, and sometimes will be carrying something that gives an upset stomach. It’s not they themselves.

No roaches here! We have enough naturally and the chickens won’t eat them because they will make them sick. But meal worms suit me just fine!

Thank you. Basically, if we have the space, budget, and time for it I can get whatever I want. The deal is also if I get it I take care of it(although my family does chip in I don’t count them in my time) so it’s more that they don’t get why on earth I want too lol. My outdoor rabbits have not...

That’s good! @Baymule! Thank you. So, while I was out for a bit yesterday apparently someone was messing around my back fence yesterday. We watched for much of the night, but had to go to bed eventually. It almost looks like someone tried to pull up a post too. So, barb wire going up! I’ll have...
