Thought I would start a thread where we all can share (honestly) our little webbed footed friends play grounds. As much fun as they are, as much pleasure as they give, they can be a bit messy and will, given the opportunity, turn their yards into the equivalent of a lunar landscape...thus the...

I saw this radar image of an insect swarm...yes that is all grasshoppers and beatles...and thought at first what a feast my ducks and other birds would have...then I though of the feast the insects would have. Hope they don't come our way after all.

Among my various chickens, ducks and geese I have a Khaki Campbell drake with two Khaki Campbell females and one crested Blue Swedish female. They make up a little group that I call my adult flock (as opposed to the 16 Cayuga ducks that are adults now but I call my little flock). Anyway, this...

Three Golden Sebright Bantam males located near Coleman, TX are in need of a new home. Would prefer all three go but will split them up if necessary. PM me if interested and I can provide pictures. They are about 10 weeks old. Also have two Golden Sebright Bantam females and would consider...

Three Golden Sebright Bantam roosters...FREE TO GOOD HOME...I have 3 seven week old Golden Sebright Bantam roosters available for free to a good home. These are at their full grown size and have mostly feathered out as adults. I got these straight run and the roosters exceed my needs. We are...

Well the holiday season is here and, beginning with tomorrow when we all look around at what we are thankful for, we plunge into all those amazing meals. So, from me and my peeps, a HAPPY HOLIDAY and Bon Appetit....

I have 7 Rhode Island Red roosters that were included with an order of Bantam chicks. They are two weeks old and need a home of their own soon. I am located 13 miles North of Coleman, TX just off US 84. Please PM me if you are interested. You MUST come get them. I can not deliver and I will not...

I have two flocks of ducks. One group of 5 adults (3 females 2 males) that are about 6 months old. They were my first flock. The second flock is 17 Cayugas (3 males 14 females) that are now about 2.5 months old. They each have their own coop a shared run and a shared range. They were doing very...

I have a Columbian Wyandotte that has gone broody. She has picked a nest dead center in the top of a three level nest station to be broody in. She is not in the way and everyone else is just ignoring her. I take her out of the nest two or three times a day and she just sits there for a while...

I have 23 hens of several breeds that are just over 20 weeks old. Three of them have begun to lay, one consistently lays a double yolker. They all lay between 9 and 11 a.m. When I was a kid on my grandparents farm I recall that the hens all laid their eggs much earlier than that. Will they begin...

You know that this is going in the next posting of my blog but I had to share it with everyone as soon as I discovered it. The hens are exactly 18 weeks old today and we finally have our first egg!!!!!!!! It is, as you can see next to the quarter, sort of small (sorry for the blurred picture)...

OK. So I am out putting my birds to bed for the evening. The chickens are in and the ducks are in and I am putting the geese away when I hear a ruckus in the hen's coop. I look in through one of the windows and my "Little Dude" (the hen that turned in to a rooster) is having his way with one of...

I have six ducks and in the past they have all quacked up a storm. They really seem to like to hear themselves chatter. One of the Blue Swedish ducks has, over the last couple of days, just been able to barely make a raspy peeping quack. Other than they she seems to be fine. Eats well, runs...

Just wanted to post bragging pictures of my three out free ranging. You can see the ducks and chickens in the background. Everyone gets to come out for an hour or so several times a day when I can be out there with them as we have problems with hawks and bobcats (as well an any number of...

I just had to share some pictures of my three Toulouse. I had gone out to take some pictures of a chicken that has turned out to be a rooster and not a hen and these three (Paul, Pauline and Princess) had to check out the camera. I still have no idea of their actual sexes but It matters less and...

I have six ducks. Three Khaki Campbells and three Blue Swedish (one male and two females of each). I just went out to let them forage for a while and what I think is the male Blue Swedish (actually black) had blood under his wing. One of the Khaki's has been aggressive while I had my geese in...

I have six ducks and three geese together. I know I will need to move the geese soon. They are all just over a month old. One of the Khaki Campbell's has started biteing at everyone else. Even the other Khakis. Do I need to separate her out by herself or do you think moving the geese will solve...

Well, I bit the bullet and drove the 300 mile round trip to Burnet, TX and got three SR Toulouse Geese, about 3.5 weeks old. The same age as my ducks. They seem to have made the trip fine and are only a little stressed. Right now they are in their confined area withing the duck coop where they...

I have been trying to get online with Ideal Poultry for two days now and keep getting "Failure to connect to server" messages. I have tried refreshing, dumping cache, multiple browsers, etc. and keep getting the same message. Is anyone else having this problem? Is Ideal Poultry aware they are...
