Does anyone have any Standard size Salmon Faverolles?

I would love to visit with everyone again. I actually know people in Harpursville! We have 3 of our original 6 hens. They will be 9 years old this spring. Betty the Brahma, Goldie the buff Orpington and Red the Rhode Island Red. We also have a EE hen that will be 8. She avoided the culling...

Hello everyone! Haven't been on in quite some time. Missed all the fun talks and pointers on how and when and why we keep these birds. Listed some birds for sale on CL and after speaking with a very nice woman, who also is on here , I got back on and wanted to check in. As with what Rancher...

Last call for chicks. We have a bunch. 30 or so. $2 each. Will be going to the auction this weekend. Australorp, D'Uccle, mixed. PM me if interested.

Thanks. Geeze, why couldn't the mother keep track of her kids! The ducklings seem fine, eating and drinking but apparently there is something going on that can't be seen. Hoping for the best now.

Pyxis - I am so, so sorry for what you have been through. SSS would be an answer. Electric fence is also an answer. Sad that it has to come to this though due to the negligence of the humans. Good luck and hope all goes better for you.

Well sad day here. The babies must have been out in the rain and cold too long yesterday. Lost 4 babies overnight. Hopefully the rest are going to be ok. This is why I really do not want to sell them yet. I would feel terrible if someone bought them and then they died.

I am going to sell them but not really sure when and what price is fair. I bought the pair as juveniles. What are normal and white ducklings worth? No way to tell gender now.

Our Mandarin hen hatched out 8 normal and 5 white ducklings yesterday. We had to round them up as they had escaped the pen and were all over the yard. All are great and indoors now. The flying ducklings are so fun!

The Mandarins have hatched. 8 normal and 5 white. They are crazy! Jumping, climbing, peeping maniacs!

I am just learning about these wonderful creatures and hoping to get ALOT more educated. We tried a friends nuc and they did not make the summer. By fall the hive was empty. No idea what happened. The swarm DH caught is doing absolutely fantastic. Is it possible to harvest honey in the...
