I use Meyer's hatchery, for both layers and meat birds I have always had good success with them. I am lucky to be able to drive there to pick up my birds so I don't have to worry about shipping charges.

Long story short, our 4h club is doing barn hunt this year and I volunteered to be the rat person. So last week I picked up a mom rat and her 4- 5 week old babies from someone off craigslist. Obviously they had to of had a male rat since their are babies, don't know what happened to him. They...

Sorry it took so long to get back to you, my 3 year old was sick all week with the flu :( Leave it: you just expand on the it's yer choice game (almost like your gentle command but he isn't allowed to nibble at all) food in your hand closed fist, as soon as he backs away say Yes! and give...

I have never witnessed a dog physically roll a puppy to display dominance, and yes I have raised litters of puppies before. I have however seen that behavior out 2 dogs fighting for leadership, where neither one is willing to submit. At 1 your dog has lost his puppy license and is try to move...

Probably :lol: When I hear dominate and alpha I think of the people that feel the need to "roll" their dog which is not being a pack leader it is being a bully, dogs never physically roll lower pack members. Here is an article I really like about the Alpha theory...

I agree that a dog needs to be trained to allow food to be taken in case of an emergency. I don't know, maybe I have been lucky, but I have never messed with my dogs food or took it from them while they were eating. I can and have taken stuff from there mouth, such as a chicken bone and have...

Different debate, but I would wait until 2 years old before fixing him. He needs those sex hormones for proper development. @UFCreel yes I understand there are many different ways to train a dog, I will say I am not as experienced as you are. I have been working with a trainer and this is the...

I would start with engagement skills with your daughter. Start with the name game. I know that it is basic, but with her training she needs to start at the beginning. She should have treats and say the dogs name, as soon as he comes over to her she gives him a treat. Do this 3 times (name treat...

Please DO NOT DO THIS!!!!!!! That is a great way to get bit! The whole dominance theory has been debunked. Dogs know we are not dogs! Also with an E-collar, the dogs is NOT supposed to know the correction comes from the collar, that is the whole reason a trainer will have you put the collar on...

Hi guys its been a while since I have been on here, life has been a bit overwhelming. :( As the topic says I have the potty training blues and was hoping maybe someone on here has some suggestions. As some of you may remember, Ethan ( 3 next month) was born not breathing, and no heart beat...

We picked Zelda up last Saturday, so far she is doing great! She is such a smart pup so far she has learned her name, sit, here, down, she has slept through the night in a crate from day 1 with no crying, pretty good considering she had never been in a crate before! Potty training :oops: needs...

I would use a topical, just make sure you part the fur and get it down to the skin. The problem with the chewable tablets is, the fleas and ticks have to bite the animal before they die. So in animals with flea allergies it doesn't help them, and also any tick born disease can be passed on ( at...

Well it was a hard choice, it took us almost the whole hour to decide which one was ours! We had narrowed it down to 4 pups the breeder thought would work with what we have planned, 2 black and 2 sables. We then narrowed it down to the 2 sables since they was interacting with us the most while...

I also love irish setters, but they are a lot to groom! I was looking at irish red and whites before I chose the GSD. They are way less to groom, no trimming allowed for the ring. Some friends of mine breed them and have been doing very well in the show ring with them, they even went to...

Cute!

I get to go see my puppy next Saturday! That is when we will be making the final decision on which girl will be mine! :D My choice though may be cut in half, of the 11 girls it looks like 4 or 5 ( 3 for sure)of them may be long coated. I am just not sure if I want a coated shepherd, not that...

well for some reason my post didn't go through? Anyways watch the video Dr Becker: The Truth About Spaying and Neutering. I don't recommend early spay/neuter.

I just wanted to add, most vets will not honor home vaccinations, and will give the puppy shots again. At least that has been the case in my area. I had a puppy that the breeder had vaccinated them selves, and the vet said he doesn't know if the meds were stored properly or given right, so he...

Rats are pretty cute :oops: I have had a couple for pets, always males the pet stores around here don't sell females.
