Not only did Pluto crow today, but he also mounted Muppet and she allowed it! So Muppet’s getting really close to laying, I’m going to gradually switch everyone off starter/grower feed and onto all-flock starting tomorrow!

Sharing my new Isopods I got the other day. Dubrovnik High Reds are very pretty

A YouTube vid reccomended nappa cabbage for pod food and I've had some interesting results. It's main advantage is that it doesn't mold like some other vegetables.

The clowns love it and start munching away as soon as they find it. But they usually loose interest once it's shriveled up and mostly gone.

The zebra pods on the other hand slowly eat it but don't really care that much. They prefer carrots much more.

The Dairy cows will ignore it for days and days until it's very wilted and dead, then devour it and leave only the veins that are still crunchy.

Boosting Bone Health and Milk Production with Herbocal Calcium Tablets for Cows

For dairy farmers, maintaining the health of their cows is a top priority, especially during the high-demand lactation period. Calcium plays a crucial role in both bone health and milk production, making it an essential nutrient for dairy cows. Herbocal calcium tablets are designed to address these needs, providing cows with a potent source of calcium that helps support both skeletal strength and optimal milk yield.

Herbocal works by ensuring that cows receive the calcium they need to maintain strong, healthy bones. Calcium deficiency can weaken the bones and lead to various health issues, including milk fever, especially during the early stages of lactation. With Herbocal, farmers can provide their cows with the necessary calcium to prevent these conditions and maintain their cows' overall vitality.

In addition to supporting bone health, Herbocal plays a significant role in enhancing milk production. Calcium is an essential element in the milk-making process, and a deficiency can reduce the quantity and quality of milk produced. By using Herbocal, farmers can ensure that their cows are receiving adequate calcium, which in turn supports higher milk yields with better nutritional value. This makes Herbocal an invaluable supplement for boosting dairy production.

Herbocal's unique formulation also includes natural ingredients that improve calcium absorption, ensuring that the nutrients are effectively utilized by the cows. This leads to better overall health and productivity, as cows can absorb and benefit from the calcium provided. Additionally, the natural composition of the supplement makes it a safer and healthier choice for livestock.

Herbocal calcium tablets offer a dual benefit for cows—promoting strong bone health and enhancing milk production. For farmers looking to improve the well-being and productivity of their dairy cows, Herbocal is an essential addition to their nutrition program.

Calcium Feed Supplements with Chelated Minerals are specially formulated nutritional products designed to provide animals with an optimal balance of calcium and essential minerals. These supplements are particularly beneficial in situations where animals have increased nutritional needs, such as during growth, pregnancy, lactation, or periods of high productivity.

Chelated minerals are minerals that are chemically bonded to an amino acid or organic compound, which enhances their bioavailability. In simpler terms, chelated minerals are more easily absorbed and utilized by the animal’s body compared to non-chelated (inorganic) forms. This increased absorption makes chelated minerals more effective in meeting the nutritional needs of animals.

Sometimes, on the quail groups, I wonder what exact people do with their quail to get such poor results. Coturnix are not that hard to hatch and raise. They are literally the easiest bird I have on my property. If you have a decent incubator and take basic steps to ensure you have good eggs and good brooder practices, you shouldn't have low hatch rats/high chick mortality. 85-100% hatch rates are fairly easy to obtain with mature hens, good breeding ratios and proper nutrition for the breeders (aka not chicken feed). You shouldn't be having issues with DIS or failure to thrive or wryneck or clubfoot/splayed leg or crossbeak if you put any effort at all into picking and maintaining your breeders well. You shouldn't have to do a lot of hard culling after a few generations let alone 3/4ths of your hatches. Your hatch rates shouldn't be 25-30% from your own eggs.

This is not survival of the fittest - this is negligence and poor husbandry.

On April 19th, 1987, a bird known as Adult Condor 9 was captured in the Bitter Creek National Wildlife Refuge, near Bakersfield, California. After decades ravaged by the threats of lead-poisoning and pesticide exposure, and intense debate over the ethics of captivity, it had been determined that captive breeding was the final hope to save a species. As his designation might suggest, AC-9 was the ninth condor to be captured for the new program; he was also the last.

As the biology team transported the seven-year-old male to the safety of the San Diego Wild America Park, his species, the California Condor, North America's largest bird, became extinct in its native range. It was Easter Sunday—a fitting day for the start of a resurrection.

At the time of AC-9's capture, the total world population of California condors constituted just twenty-seven birds. The majority of them represented ongoing conservation attempts: immature birds, taken from the wild as nestlings and eggs to be captive-reared in safety, with the intention of re-release into the wild. Now, efforts turned fully towards the hope of captive breeding.

Captive breeding is never a sure-fire bet, especially for sensitive, slow-reproducing species like the condor. Animals can and do go extinct even when all individuals are successfully shielded from peril and provided with ideal breeding conditions. Persistence in captivity is not the solution to habitat destruction and extirpation—but it can buy valuable time for a species that needs it.

Thankfully, for the California condor, it paid off.

The birds defied expectations, with an egg successfully hatched at the San Diego Zoo the very next year. Unlike many other birds of prey, which may produce clutches of up to 5 hatchlings, the California condor raises a single chick per breeding season, providing care for the first full year of its life, and, as a consequence, often not nesting at all in the year following the birth of a chick. This, combined with the bird's slow maturation (taking six to eight years to start breeding), presented a significant challenge. However, biologists were able to exploit another quirk of the bird's breeding cycle: its ability to double-clutch.

Raising a single offspring per year is a massive risk in a world full of threats, and the California condor's biology has provided it with a back-up plan: in years when a chick or egg has been lost, condors will often re-nest with a second egg. To take advantage of this tendency, eggs were selectively removed from birds in the captive breeding program, which would then lay a replacement, greatly increasing their reproduction rate.

And what of the eggs that were taken? The tendency of hatchlings to imprint is well-known, and the intention from the very beginning was for the birds to one day return to the wild—an impossibility for animals acclimated to humans. And so, puppets were made in the realistic likeness of adult condors, and used by members of the conservation team to feed and nurture the young birds, mitigating the risk of imprintation on the wrong species.

By 1992, the captive population had more than doubled, to 64 birds. That year, after an absence of five years, the first two captive-bred condors were released into their ancestral home. Many other releases followed, including the return of AC-9 himself in 2002. Thanks to the efforts of zoos and conservationists, as of 2024 there are 561 living California condors, over half of which fly free in the wilds of the American West.

The fight to save the California condor is far from over. The species is still listed as critically endangered. Lead poisoning (from ingesting shot/bullets from abandoned carcasses) remains the primary source of mortality for the species, with tagged birds tested and treated whenever possible. Baby condors are fed bone chips by their parents, likely as a calcium supplement—but, to a condor, bits of bone and bits of plastic can be indistinguishable, and dead nestlings have been found with stomachs full of trash.

There's hope, though. There are things we can change, things we can counteract and stop from happening in the future. It was a human hand that created this problem, and it will take a human hand to fix it. Hope is only gone when the last animal breathes its last breath—and the California condor is still here.
