I need to take out my cucumbers as they are diseased. With all the drama at my house I failed to notice some sort of fungus had taken hold of them. It has a nice trellis of field fencing to grown on, what can I plant that could use the trellis and if the fungus won't bother? I have plenty of...
Serina and Skye are up and moving about this morning, so I believe they are on the mend. Jenny's puncture wound has me worried. She cannot put pressure on that leg (puncture wound in the hip) and it is really swollen. I've been giving her antibiotics and flushing it out 2 times a day. If she's...
Ruby has been with us since she was a pup. My husband took out of a bad situation with the "understanding" we would try and find her a home. Of course that never happened, and now I think I've finally convinced him it's not fair to her to be constantly with the horses. She actually LOVES people...
Well I would have more pictures, but it was a sad day. We have a German Shepherd mix that lives with the horses because she kills my chickens. I had a split decision to make before going to work. I decided to put her in the empty buck pen. When I got home Ruby had gotten out and my goats had...
I have a vet friend here, I'll call her Dr. J for short and anonymity. She recently bought chicks and they are at the 14 week mark. One of her adult hens (she only has two adults) attacked one of the juveniles. Tore her up pretty bad with exposed muscle tissue, missing feathers, and a really...
Ah, the feeding is no problem. We have lots of hay, and buy grain every month. We will keep the foal for as long as it takes to grow her up and train her. Then I guess that will be up to my husband on whether we keep her past 2 years old, but I suspect we will.
I believe the daddy was a bay...
I canned 3 pints and 3 half pints of salsa last night. A friend gave me a bunch of really ripe tomatoes. It was not very hot, the jalapenos are still very young.
I sat up one night with one of my laboring goat mommies and listened to the coyotes yip all during the night in the neighboring cow pasture. My Great Pyrenees is a challenge with the baby goats, but I'm so glad I have her for this very reason.
Good luck with your duckie, I work at UGA Vet...
We got my son a "free" Halflinger mixed pony last year. She is a great pony and gentle as can be. We don't know anything about her background or where she came from. Someone call my husbands friend and said come and get her. My husband said one day Berta is getting fat, I think she's pregnant. I...
I have tons of fresh goats milk this year since I'm milking 4 goats 2 times a day, and bought me an ice cream maker. I made the custard recipe with fresh strawberries and it was hard as a rock after I froze it. Then I made peach, still custard recipe but replaced some of the milk with cream and...
I have a tomatillo plant for the first time this year. It is huge and full of flowers, but I don't have any fruit yet. It is about 5 foot tall and 3 foot wide. It's kind of branch-y. It is growing like mad.
