Is there any where I can order about 10 or so of them? The places I have found so far have min orders of 15 or 30. We are thinking of getting some to reduce our tick population and keep away the hawks and other nasties. thanks Chris

We had a bantam cochin that just recently hatched (Thurs)and it will not stop chirping. It seems to be able to walk around okay but I have not seen it eat or drink. I did put it's beak in the water trough. It is with about 15 other chicks. It just stands there chirping non stop. We took int...

We recentlly got 5 ducks at the feed store. 2 Pekins, 1 Rouen, and 2 indian Runners. I am unsure of the sex of them yet. They are very excitable and I try to pick them up and hold them but they seem to want no part of it. I do try and handle them at least twice a day but they squirm and...

We entered the wacky world of raising ducks. We recently got 2 Indian runners, 2 pekins and 1 rouen ducklings. In the bator are 15 eggs of Welsh Harlequins. What dimensions should I be considering for a duck pen and run for them assuming a 50% hatch rate on the eggs? Do they need a water...

How is this done? I have a Momma chick with one baby in the brooder pen. Eventually I am going to introduce them back to the flock. How do I do this feed wise? The chick will need medicated chick starter for awhile right? Is it bad for the layers to eat medicated feed for extended periods...

My silkie hatched 1 out of 5 eggs and is still in the broody pen. The chick is doing fine but should I add another day old chick to keep it company or will the hen reject it? Also when should I introduce mom and daughter back to the flock? I am worried about the other hens killing the chick...

Our silkie has hatched one baby but is still sitting on three eggs. She pushed an egg out of the nest already. I did an eggtospsy and was saddened to find a fully developed blue silkie. It is at least day 23 on the other ones. She is still sitting on them but I was wondering will she...

Just recieved some Welsh Harlequin eggs from Webfoot and was wondering if the egg carton method will work or is the humidity going to effect the egg carton? The eggs are due to go in the bator tomorrow. I think my other silkie might be going broody so I was going give that a try also. thanks...

Well today is day 21 and nothing yet. I was wonderfing what is the maximum time I should wait before I throw in the towel? Should I candle to see if there is anything there or just let it be? thanks Chris

So far one chick has hatched. There are 5 or 6 left to hatch. Should I remove the chick from the broody or let her raise it until the others hatch? I am unsure when the little one hatched. I lifted her up and a little chick started chirping! Thanks Chris
