Someone told me about this website awhile back and I just finally checked it out. The thermostatically controlled outlets are something I've never seen before....
Oh, I dunno. Spot prefers me to any thermostatically controlled heat source on the market. If he gets too warm, he moves away a bit. Too chilly, and he's...

They can stay with mom until she starts to lay eggs again. She might freak out but other adults might kill the chicks. The sitting hen only leaves the nest 1...
Hi, I've been trying to buy some Mealworms for Oreo, everywhere I've tried says there's a nationwide shortage of mealworms!?! I've tried all the ones I've used...
Hi Koreena, yes, the shortage has gone on for a few weeks, but the meal worms have recently become available. The local pet stores have been getting shipments...
I'm in Los Angeles, where Rainbow Mealworms is located, and yes, we had a shortage here, too. Now I'm seeing them in stores again (Petco) but my feed store...
Thanks, I will try them again. I went to the local Pets Plus in Wooster, and they had 5 dozen superworms for $2.85, so I bought 2. But there are a little large...
He came free with our McMurray Hatchery order this July. He is a beautiful rooster; but, we have a limit to how many birds we can comfortably keep in the coop...
I had a heads up about the shortage early so I started raising my own. My first attempt failed but I am just about ready to "harvest" my first of baby...
We moved a year ago. We had tons of mealworms living in our old barn, I did bring them in the house and raise my own then during the winter, but during the...
I had to laugh when I saw your post. Booblet was a wee white pet quality silkie girl. Now that you mention it, the egg was remotely boob-shaped :) I think...
Ok I brought my girls inside last night at 7 pm. At 10 pm I started getting everyone ready for bed. I went to cover the girls' "condo" and there was an egg on...

Congrats on the first egg! :) Make sure and pet and fuss over her to encourage her. :) Don't panic about the odd egg unless it continues or the chickens act...
I'm so sorry about Mary. :( It's doubly hard when it's one of your favorites. I'm glad she had you to love her so much Ruth, and that you had Mary. Velvet...

So the other day I was checking out Freecycle for this area, and noticed a post saying this lady wanted to rehome five call ducks. Weeeellllll, I didn't even...
Now, Barb, you know mallard is a breed, not a colour, lol. The typical mallard colour is "gray," amd is also a colour for call ducks. Personally, I am really...

Hi, I'm getting ready to ship Fluffy from Nevada to Minnesota, and I have a few questions. I have an approved live bird shipping container. I was wondering,...
What I did when I was shipping silkies for Alan was take a couple of small dixie cups and attached them to the sides of the carrier (they were cardboard...
Apples cut so there is always a side up not covered with peel are perfect: food and water. Make sure Fluffy has had them before shipping so she knows they...
