Oh no, I hope I don’t have to compete with people who want to combat egg prices by getting show quality birds! 🙈 I’ll show them some Craigslist posts and elbow them outta the way! 🤣 Sounds like your area is into it! Nothing like that on the FB pages for the Poultry Assoc or the Fair that I have...

Hi. Your girls really ARE rocking it! 😍 I am attending my first one in CA this weekend and had similar questions. Hadn’t thought about cash and cages but now it seems obvious! 😂 I’m wondering if anyone can ballpark what we can expect to pay, say for a Silkie/Polish v. Orpington v Cayuga duck...

My experience has been around the 8-10 week mark as well. I have had friends that have had luck at 6 weeks though. Also, if you only had your 1 roo (RIP 😞) and your 1 hen together in the coop, that might also cause too much stress for her to lay if he was an “active” dude. 😉 It’s gonna...

Just sitting here waiting for the floof to pip. On my bajillionth hatch and I still go down the “what did I do wrong” rabbit hole, cruising the forums gloom and doom threads 🤣 I need to go out of town during lockdown! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hi there! I have silkies getting ready to hatch any hour now too! Quail eggs too. 🥰 Good luck with your hatch!!

Really, hmm. My barnevelders are the first to jump in my lap! :love I wonder if they take their cue from the silkies. I may just stick to those. Thank you!!

Oh they are so beautiful!! I love seeing a yellow bill on these guys pop up. Unfortunately, I am breeding solely for the black bill. 😥 Thanks for sharing your pics, I wish you the very best of luck in finding them homes. ❤️

Thanks for the reply. I’m in it more for the feathers than the egg color, are they compact size and mellow like the barnevelders? My flock consists solely of bantams.

Hi! I came here looking for a Cayuga drake to breed and whaddaya know! I have a flock that I would like to expand as I have moved to a larger piece of property. I would love to see pics and any breeder/hatchery info. :) Thanks. - Raquel

Hi there, I may be late to the party, but I would be interested in your barnevelders if you still need to find them a home. :)

First quail, then bantam (unashamed) designer chooks, and now messy, stinky, lovely, silly ducks have stolen my heart since I last updated. Bird math. I see a turkey (or several) in my future…

Ahhhhh I love BYC!! Four years after the original post I come here to see if there’s an answer to my NR360 turner issue and here it is. I could manually turn with the +/- but it wouldn’t engage otherwise. As suggested I unplugged for two minutes, checked the connections as I restarted it, hit...

Awesome teamwork! Thank you!!

Thank you for sharing, exactly what I’m looking for!
