I actually just got done reading the USDA guidelines on organic certification and found that small producers that sell less than $5k in agricultural products annually can use the term "organic" on their products without being certified so long as all of the guidelines necessary to become...

So, I've done some more research and the implants are called Desolorein/Suprelorin and from what I can tell has been successfully used on guinea pigs, ferrets, cats, dogs, and large exotic birds (parrots & macaws). Seems like this might be worth a try. Thought he won't be able to fertilize...

we ordered day old chicks that were born on March 5th. they are now about 12 weeks old and one of the birds is a roo. it just so happens that the roo is my wife's favorite bird. One of the things I've begun to make a connection about is that he is a big ham and being he is the wife's...

Got the ramp built, automatic waterer built, sod planted (the run area had become a mud bowl during coop construction), and the run framed out today. now all I have left is to add chicken wire and the girls can move into their new home! Ramp shoots for oyster shell and grit and here is my...
