Hi Wanda, welcome to the group, and here's what I can offer from my experience: I keep one chicken in the house, full time. The "diaper thing" was a flop with ...
Pippin and Pearlie both like dry cat food, but will eat canned on occasion, particularly if it's beef or chicken flavored. Bobbie never developed a taste for...
Hi, It might have come up in previous emails but I just can't seem to find it. I was looking through the photo's in the group album's thingy and I saw Dixie....
