Hey guys! I'm new to this thread and glad to be here. I have PLENTY of chickens right now, and am looking for Indian Runner ducklings. I live in Florida, in Volusia County. Unless you live very close to me, I would need them to be shipped as my car...I don't want to take a chance of driving it...

Hey guys! I am new to this thread. I live in Volusia County. I have 30 something Lavender Ameraucanas, Delawares, White Leghorns, and this includes two Lemon Cuckoo Orpingtons. That should keep me busy in chickens for a while until I can build more chicken shelters, and then I want some dark egg...

I haven't celebrated Christmas in years. I simply lost the desire for it, about maybe 2001. Since I have learned about its origins and meaning and realized it is completely in the face of my spiritual beliefs. Easter, too. I am not Jewish, btw. The Bible however, is my measuring device, as to...

When I was little, and I did the same thing with my kids, we'd have a birthday party with games and some kind of simple prize for the winner of each game. What about a game a day, for example, how many chickens are in this jar...er...pen...and make it impossible to actually count accurately...

Hey there! Love all the conversation about the Quail. I was wondering, do Georgia Giants mate for life or can there be one roo to a certain ratio of females? Thanks so much!

So the consensus is, no Cortunix raising on the ground. Period. Is that what MOST are saying? Anyone have any idea for how to build a simple cage to contain them off the ground. Doesn't have to have a shelter, I can deal with that. My problem is getting a simple cage built. I'll add or make a...

Well, I read this thread strictly because I want to get some quail and start raising them for food, eggs and to sell and my biggest questions were, HOW do I butcher them and CAN I butcher them. You guys have helped a lot with that. As well, seeing them cooked helps with the CAN question, lol...

Hey guys! I don't have any ducks but have been studying about them and determined the kind of duck I needed to get should be Welsh Harlequins. Is there a good place to buy them from that maybe does not require a minimum? I only want few for eggs but would like for them to breed so I can get...

Every time I get on here, I realize there's a post I've somehow missed. I LOVE the clover idea. I'll have to see if I can get that growing in my zone. I don't see it here as I did when I was a little kid in the Midwest. I used to love laying in clover! The big Bumble Bees loved it, too! I think...

Crabella, thanks for the lesson on seeds. I didn't think of any of that and didn't know I should, lol. That's how little I know about it!

Woodland Woman, thank you so much for that information! I will go to that thread ASAP, as well! I am new to this forum so I am still learning about it.

I plan on a large enough area to be able to move them pretty regularly. The grasses will not necessarily be thick, or tall, just so they will have an opportunity to "forage" at least a bit. And right now the lot is a bit of a desert. I wanted to improve it for multiple reasons and thought this...
