Thanks for the advice. I will try some redirecting to see if that helps him. I am just glad to know that it is a pretty common behavior for foals. I was worried we were raising a little turd! As for the "snip-snip" we will be getting that done when he is a year old for sure!

Need some advice on what to do with a 4-month-old colt. He is always trying to bite us and often tries to jump up on me. I have tried everything I can think of to make him learn he can't act that way but nothing seems to be getting through to him. After I discipline him he usually turns away...

Good to know about the turkeys being good for taking care of the snakes. We actually acquired three from our friends a month ago. They are not very noisy, just not so pretty to look at!

Not sure what kind of snake that was, but I have heard that guinea fowl are good "watchdogs" for snakes and will even kill them sometimes. I had thought about getting some this year but just never did. One warning though, I have also heard they can be a little noisy.

Our goats are the same way with wanting all the other animals' feeds. Good to know about the chicken feed though; I never knew it was that dangerous for them! We do feed ours grain. We feed Nutrena Goat Pellets When we got the goats we did lots of research on what to feed them. For the urinary...

Not sure on what needs to be done, but I do have a question about the second picture. What is the ring around the hoof where it looks indented? We have a 2 month-old colt that has the same thing and I was just curious.

Awww, they are so cute!

So very sorry for your loss. I know that had to be a very hard decision to make.

I think canning is coming back somewhat. People here seem to be getting more back into having gardens. My mom taught me how to can after I got married, 13 years ago. I did not do much canning until last year and I went crazy with it! I still have pickles in the pantry from last year that we are...

I believe the lady should go to jail! That is just sickening! Why on earth would anyone get to the point of having so many horses and so many dogs? Obviously she is not selling them! Just infuriates me that people get away with stuff like this. It really makes you wonder if something is messed...

That was so sad seeing those horses in that condition.

So sorry for your loss.

Awwww, I want one! He is so cute!!!!

Well I can tell you on the diet that our vet told us to just feed them a good grass hay. We have only had them a year and the man we bought them from was feeding them sweet feed so they were used to getting grain. We stopped the sweet feed after we got them a year ago and tried some different...

I used to be terrified of those when I was a kid because I always thought they were chasing me... It is weird because we used have tons of those around but I have not seen one in years now.

OMG That would be really funny to see that poor mom's expression but at the same time pretty gross! Reminds me of an email I got one time of a dad that was watching his little girl while mom was out. He was sitting in the living room and the little girl was bringing him "tea" in her little...

Thanks for the camera and photoshop info! I am hoping to get a nice camera soon. Like you if I am out there with the camera all I can seem to get pictures of is their noses...

Great pictures! Love the first one. What kind of camera do you have?

Thanks! I got some this afternoon (it did have some molasses in it) and tried her with it. At first she would not even try it but after she finished eating her grain she did eat a little of it. I am going to try to give her some more in the morning and see how she does.

So sorry about your chickens. Glad the one did make it though. Our chickens love chopped up parsley, corn on the cob (by morning it is cleaned down to the cob), blueberries, cooked pasta. Actually come to think of it everything I have ever put out for them they have eaten and nothing has seemed...
