I have a question.... I just bought a trio of white d'uccles from a breeder at a local show. I knew that is was a DQ for them to have complete feathers that weren't white, but my roo just has 3-4 tan spots on the very tips of the feathers. Is this a DQ as well? Is he showable? and, will he...

OK! Thanks a lot! I am in northern Illinois....about half an hour from Wisconsin.

And another thought.....I COULD send you 6-8 eggs....or I could send you 6-8 eggs each week for 2-3 weeks (but shipping would probably cost a lot for that) I don't know if you want a lot or not.....and if you care if they all hatch at once or not. I was just concerned that by the time I could...

Hi, I have a flock of about 40 hens. After finding pictures of what scaly leg looks like, I have confirmed ALL my hens have it! I think I must have brought it home from the county fair or somewhere like that. However I got it, I'm just wondering how to treat 40 chickens. I don't have time to...

Hi!! I'm a 4-Her looking to get some white or silver gray dorkings this coming spring..... does anyone know of a reputable breeder who I could get hatching eggs or day old chicks from? I would be showing them so I would like show quality. Thanks!!!

@CFellows OK!! Thanks! I will have to be careful as it looks like we could have an early winter this year

I could, but I just culled a lot from my flock and I am down to a trio, so i couldn't sell many. I am hatching some of my eggs now, so I might keep some ducks from this hatch, but either way, I could sell eggs, but not until next spring or early summer. If your looking for ducks now, I would...

Mine are Percy, Cupcake, and Sunny. You should name him snickers!! he seems like a happy guy

I am setting a dozen Welsh Harlequin duck eggs this weekend....it will be my first hatch with my own eggs. I'm a little nervous!! I'm going to keep any ducklings i get though, at least over the winter.....anyone had problems with hatching this late in the year? I know someone who said late...

I did!!! I got the letters signed and I am sending it in soon!!! I'm really excited because I am eligible for $75 gift card!! THANKS!!!!!!

Sorry if this is completely random but.... I just wanted to let everyone know that I am completely satisfied with my WH from metzer. At first I was a little unsure or the coloring, but I got a gorgeous drake from the shipment. He just won Best Duck, Champion Waterfowl, and Best In Show at a...

I have a hen who had bumblefoot, but i didn't know it. I removed the black scab (it was really easy to remove) but I thought that the black scab was a thorn or something. I recently read about bumblefoot and realized that was my hens problem, but where the black scab was is all healed up...

I have been showing in 4-H for several years now. Have you ever considered Japanese Bantams? They are very small, we have several and they are really sweet. They are also great for showmanship...... I dont know if I would get into modern games.....especially if your daughter ever decided that...

Here some pictures of my WH's. I bought them for a 4-H project, by a recommendation that i should buy from Metzer. I have since realized that I should have ordered from Holdereads, several of the ducks have facial striping (a DQ) :( does anyone have an opinion on the situation?? I will post...

@txchickie Do you use it on your hens?? I have show birds that need to have mites gone and feathers back by august for the county fair. They are SL wyandottes, RIR's, and barred rocks. Thanks so much

do you also put some on your hens? My show hens (and rooster) got mites (their backs are red and inflamed and are also missing feathers on their necks from scratching themselves!) and I'm trying to get it off ASAP so they can be county fair ready. The fair is August 1-5..... do you think if i...

We bought just some laying hens from Murray Mcmurray last year. They lay fairly well, but not show birds. The hens are friendly, and most like to be cuddled. We did notice though,(after ordering) that the "Easter Eggers" are mutts. Overall, the make good laying hens, but poor show birds.Just...

Anyone here sell hatching eggs?
