It blows my mind that 25% of Sweden's total population emigrated to the USA between 1850 and the start of WW2. My country was a harsh place to live before political and economic change made it what it is today. Jennische! That's pretty rare, and probably Germanic from the beginning. I only...

Thanks for the welcome! I once did a summer course at the University of Virginia and have the funnest memories from experiencing that particular slice of US culture :)

Thanks for the kind welcome!

Hi and thanks a lot for the welcome and the sheep love as well as the UC advice over on the other thread!

Thanks, they are adorable! Such tiny cuties - Boris is the biggest and he's only 15 kilos / 33 lbs. And Fritz the rooster is quite the man, like a friendly barytone lawn ornament (he's a big guy, close to 4 kilos, and has a voice to match his size) :) Have you read any of the Swedish classics...

Little update: It's now been 48 hours since he last passed a stone that caused him serious discomfort. He had a peaceful night and a day full of energy :celebrate🎉

Thanks! He is already getting this - and luckily he can pee most of the time, is on antibiotics and we have painkillers on hand for when he is suffering - I feel pretty on top of his treatment / medication, and I also know why he got it and have adjusted (which was easilyt done, I was using a...

Thanks for responding! I hope he gets to the end of those stones quickly. My roo is the best guy, and so handsome! His name is Fritz. My one trouble is that he's enormous and I have a mixed flock, so I've had to create separate spaces for the smaller ladies to not have to deal with her...

Does anoyone have any insight about this? I feel like the episodes are lessening in severity as well as frequency and no longer think he will die when he has one, which is a relief. I'd still love to know if anyone has experience of how long this will last / when we could start thinking he's got...

Hi everyone, I just joined today after some lurking, and after a few very helpful years over at Backyard Chickens (you'll find me there with the same user name). If this place is even half as useful as BYC, it's a goldmine! I am a first time sheep owner - starting small with three Ouessants, 1...

Hi everyone! My 10 month Ouessant wether Boris has urinary calculi. So far, he's not blocked, but he has painful episodes of a few hours when he's passing stones. My question is - does anyone have any idea for how long these episodes will occur? Not how long one episode lasts, but how many days...
