I am so sorry for your loss. It seems many old friends have been saying goodbye in this thread. I hope we all keep them with us, by holding them in our thoughts. :hugs :hugs:hugs:hugs:hugs:hugs

So...how did it go ???

Hello everyone, I have a dog post for pony Sunday. It's partly a follow up to this story and a mix of bittersweet. The nice stuff first , this week, I finally got to meet the little LGD puppy with his daddy and mummy, Typhon and Alice ! Alice is now very old and she stayed out of reach. Typhon...

...18 to 25 May Link to last week's synopsis : https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/fluffy-butt-acres-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27750397 **************************************** @BY Bob Simple explanation of why the tax system exists ...

I am also very glad you are giving it a try ! It's obvious you care for him since he was your first chicken and you are named on BYC after him. If it works out, you will be very glad you tried it ; if it doesn't, you can re-home him feeling better about it since you can tell yourself you tried...

Each herd rotates on two or three of these 100 acres enclosed plots throughout the year, I think they have seven or eight parks in all on public land, so they could have a lot more donkeys. But you can't really think of it as grazing on pastures, most of it is rocky mountain ground and marl ...

...! But I agree mullein tea is gross....in fact everything about mullein is gross. If it wasn't so hard to weed it would be gone from our place ! ************ Here are some donkeys I saw while running this morning for Pony Sundays. These lucky guys live in huge hundred acres parks in the...

Round worms in chickens look like this : Image from https://poultrykeeper.com/digestive-system-problems/chicken-roundworms-or-ascarida-galli/ Tapeworms show up in poop as segments looking like moving rice grain Please people, think twice about worming your chickens if you are not at least...

Edited to add : Marie, I just understood that it was for your dog, and not your chickens. I am still putting up my post which could be useful for others. I am not sure about tapeworms in dogs, but I don't think they are exactly the same as in chickens. I used Febendazole on my chickens with...

We will all miss her 😔. For me, she has become a legend. I talk about her at some point to almost everyone who is interested in hearing me talk about chickens. You and Rosie have done a wonderful deed with her 💚.

:hugs:hugs:hugs:hugs:hugs:hugs Alex, I'm sorry that you lost her so soon after loosing Jaffar. It does feel like she had decided her time has come, and I hope the annoying little peeps do bring you some joy throughout this sad time. I am also sad to say that like I thought she would, my little...

:hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs It is so hard loosing your best friends. That makes us feel like we let them down. But everyone must die ; you make your chicken's lives the best they could be, and walk with them along their path until the end. I think my hen Blanche will finally pass...

I am not a good enabler ... I think you should wait a bit before deciding to take in a rooster. You have too much to process now, and I believe what you wish is to go back to how things were with Jaffar, but that is just not possible :hugs :hugs :hugs Take it one day at a time and don't feel...

This may be one of the saddest post I've read on this thread. I feel relieved that you have the chicks that will necessarily at some point force a smile on your face, because this must be so hard for you. I am sure everyone on this thread will keep him in their heart and memories for a very long...

Makes me think so much of this song's lyrics. (Sorry, I was a teen in the 90's...). Tax from the past. Not all chickens are born to fly....Piou-piou will never be aerodynamic.

FBA synopsis 13 to 20 April. The link to last week's synopsis. @BY Bob Friday 19, is the anniversary of Lilly's passing. Bybob is commemorating all week, with some of his most loved videos and memories of her. Enjoy the wonderful stories ! First, a respected leader in action...

Easy. She will go overnight from this : Screaming deadly insults in R'lyehian .... #€*&!€!!!! Sounding like Rammstein. To this : Hello 🤗 I'm Merle would you care to share some of your delicious lunch with me ?🎵 (to the sound of Vivaldi's Spring).

Hello, FBA ! It seems to be that time of year again when chicken maths hits hard on humans and hens. They may be a pain when you don't want more chickens, but there sure is no fluff like a broody's butt. Three are broodies here but I'm not giving in ; unlike most of you, we want less...

Pony Sunday. My neighbour's cows have been on pasture during the day in the property just above us for the last three weeks.They were very curious about what was going on in our place. They are back home now because one of the cows birthed a calf this friday. The old horse, Gribouille, is...

My thoughts are with you and your family. I think many of us on this thread will always remember your grand mother, and how you and yours took care of her, no matter how hard. I often think of those pictures you posted of her and Owly. For me, they said it all. :hugs :hugs:hugs:hugs:hugs
