Yes they are flighty and lay nice white eggs. they are one of the main breeds that make up the United states hybred commercial layers, they prefer white eggs to our brown

The only advice I can give ref refurbishing a house is STAY CALM, DONT PANIC AND SMILE ALOT even when feeling

If you do get a pest control company and this includes councils please make sure they don't just trap them and dump them further out in the countryside. Foxes used to human activity dumped in the countryside are a much worse problem than the truly wild foxes

You need to be careful when buying show birds they are not always as true to type as they should be they are bred to show ie looks shape and colour, A good example of this is buff Orpingtons, supposed to be a utility bird ie good for eating and laying eggs a lot of the show birds you see are all fea...

Hello all. I found my way back due to a happy Christmas email, I have not been active since the old way of doing things shut down, I hope a few people remember me (for good or bad) I will have forgotten which . Stand by for a bit more turkey talk for the very few who are interested .

A dog’s teeth reflect the mechanics of the ripping and tearing of food. They also possess a shortened gastrointest...

They only eat all that stuff because we force it on them and it cheaper for us. the veg they eat by choice is normally to make them selves sick. cows and sheep will sometimes eat afterbirth, does that make them omnivores. Interesting points of view it has been ages since I have read up on anything b...

both cats and dogs will chew and swallow vegatation to help with digestive problems but that does not make them omnivores they are both carnivores

one of my friends dogs had some dietry problems and was told by the vet stop feeding dried and tinned dog foods and give him meat he now eats mainly rabbit (Raw) problems gone and there is no need to cook anything. we sometimes forget cats and dogs are carnivors
