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...
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!
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...
Just wanting to say Hello everyone! Hope the terrible, oppressive humidity quits without torrential rains. Some flood watches going out. It is getting quite dark here. Finished planting the veggie plants I buy from a very kind gentleman up the road. He just turned 100 this year. I get the...
Congrats on the the nephew! My son was born a bit early, at 29 weeks. He stayed in the NICU for 3 weeks, came home at 5 lbs. all is great now at the wonderful age of 15.
I received my last eggs yesterday and they are in the incubator!!
