I have a question.... I just bought a trio of white d'uccles from a breeder at a local show. I knew that is was a DQ for them to have complete feathers that weren't white, but my roo just has 3-4 tan spots on the very tips of the feathers. Is this a DQ as well? Is he showable? and, will he...

OK! Thanks a lot! I am in northern Illinois....about half an hour from Wisconsin.

And another thought.....I COULD send you 6-8 eggs....or I could send you 6-8 eggs each week for 2-3 weeks (but shipping would probably cost a lot for that) I don't know if you want a lot or not.....and if you care if they all hatch at once or not. I was just concerned that by the time I could...

Hi, I have a flock of about 40 hens. After finding pictures of what scaly leg looks like, I have confirmed ALL my hens have it! I think I must have brought it home from the county fair or somewhere like that. However I got it, I'm just wondering how to treat 40 chickens. I don't have time to...

Hi!! I'm a 4-Her looking to get some white or silver gray dorkings this coming spring..... does anyone know of a reputable breeder who I could get hatching eggs or day old chicks from? I would be showing them so I would like show quality. Thanks!!!

@CFellows OK!! Thanks! I will have to be careful as it looks like we could have an early winter this year

I could, but I just culled a lot from my flock and I am down to a trio, so i couldn't sell many. I am hatching some of my eggs now, so I might keep some ducks from this hatch, but either way, I could sell eggs, but not until next spring or early summer. If your looking for ducks now, I would...

I am setting a dozen Welsh Harlequin duck eggs this weekend....it will be my first hatch with my own eggs. I'm a little nervous!! I'm going to keep any ducklings i get though, at least over the winter.....anyone had problems with hatching this late in the year? I know someone who said late...

Sorry if this is completely random but.... I just wanted to let everyone know that I am completely satisfied with my WH from metzer. At first I was a little unsure or the coloring, but I got a gorgeous drake from the shipment. He just won Best Duck, Champion Waterfowl, and Best In Show at a...

I have a hen who had bumblefoot, but i didn't know it. I removed the black scab (it was really easy to remove) but I thought that the black scab was a thorn or something. I recently read about bumblefoot and realized that was my hens problem, but where the black scab was is all healed up...

I have been showing in 4-H for several years now. Have you ever considered Japanese Bantams? They are very small, we have several and they are really sweet. They are also great for showmanship...... I dont know if I would get into modern games.....especially if your daughter ever decided that...
