| RE: Cleaning a Chicken Pen |
|
It's not good to put chickens where a dog has been without conditioning the ground some. A good idea would be to scrape the ground back, use agricultural lime on the scraped ground (only agricultural lime, not the usual lime - ask a feed store for some), and then put 3-4 inches of course sand on top. The sand will keep the area more hygienic and help control bacteria and parasites. It also drains better and is easier to keep clean. ... View related article. |

Agreed it's likely yeast infection. In addition to keeping the hair out, if you use apple cider vinegar on a papertowel to clean the inside of her ears, and lightly dampened q-tips to clean inside her ears, that helps reduce the yeast. ... View related article. |

| RE: Causes of Ear Infections in Dogs |
Many doggy ear infections or problems are caused by yeast. If you clean the ears thoroughly, use a little diluted apple cider vinegar on a rag and wipe afterwards. Put a little diluted ACV on a q-tip to clean inside the ears. Also, let them dry as Glenn's Mom recommended. This should help.
If your dog won't let you shavve inside the ear, you can use blunt children's scissors to trim the hair back a bit. ... View related article. |

I like to put the little individual cups of jello in my smoothies before blending. It helps give the smoothies a little body and fluffiness without having to add dairy products like sherbert, and you can use sugar free to reduce sugar. I prefer the full-sugar ones. ... View related article. |

| RE: Ducks Not Sitting on Eggs |
It is actually a requirement for waterfowl that the eggs' temperature be lowered for a short while each day if you were incubating them. Since she's doing her job instead, that is the time at which the mom would get off her nest to eat, drink, and (more importantly) swim. She brings back moisture in her feathers to the eggs to keep them from a) evaporating too quickly, and b) getting to hard-shelled. Be sure (as always) to provide adequate swimming water so that she can do her job.
Note - if they do hatch and you pick them up to raise them yourself, do not ever let them run short of water. If they do, reintroduce the water to them slowly - a sip or two then a break for a minute, then three sips etc. You'd be surprised how quickly they can spill their water as they play with it.
If you allow her to raise them, expect losses - it's part of nature. They usually have many babies to cover for the loss of a lot, and they're not as good at parenting as geese are.
Here's a website that you might find very helpful. (Ignore the music heheh.)
