So I need an opinion on a very hard and sad question. My dog Leroy is turning 14 next month and is a lab, which is really old for that breed. He has suvere arthritis and hasn't been able to move his hind legs for awhile. His hearing is going, he has problems with his eyes and lots of bumps on...

I was out of town for a few days the other week and when I came back I noticed that my usually top of the pecking order hen was acting weird. She normally comes over to me for treats and to be pet but instead she was running away and would'nt eat. I thought it had something to do with her...

Hi, I live in Arizona and June-September is 100-120 degrees. The heat has proved deadly for my chickens and I am trying to find the best way to deal with this summer. I originally thought fans, misters, frozen treats, some wading pools and electrolytes would help keep them alive. Now I'm...
