You would think that with as beautiful and scarce as the cuckoo dorkings are that demand would necessitate a premium. I've just been taught that if something is too good to be true, it usually is. Of course, that doesn't mean that I don't hope I'm wrong. I would love to pick up some cuckoos for...

http://www.britannicrarebreeds.co.uk/breedinfo/chicken_dorking.php Cuckoos are very rare and $6.50 a chick makes me think that the ones Sandhill is offering are too good to be true. Does anyone here have experience with them? Not responding to you doesn't make me hopeful but I would like to...

Has anyone found a source for cuckoo dorkings?

Raising pigs is a wonderful experience. They are really good mothers and easy to care for. Very affectionate and happy creatures with playful and social personalities. I raise them up to a slaughtering weight and then pay to have someone come out and process them for me. After that, I take...

I also raise Gloucestershire Old Spots Pigs and I do not want these feral pigs anywhere near my precious hams. That and to put things into perspective, these feral hogs get up to 1,000 pounds, that is x10 larger than myself. Not only do they carry all kinds of diseases but they also have huge...

The biggest problem I have had is feral hogs, which are an invasive species that was probably introduced by Spanish explorers a few hundred years ago. There are over 2.6 million of them roaming all over the State and are known to travel over 70,000 acres. All of my livestock, orchards and...

The digging issue worries me. Most coop building plans advice fencing at least 9" beneath the ground around the sides to deter foxes. I was thinking I could pour concrete a foot deep around the perimeter instead because of the issue with rusting wire. You couldn't use concrete as the floor of...

Money is a non-issue. I think of the money spent on my chickens as an investment in protecting the agricultural diversity of my country and as a pleasure hobby. Those are some beautiful, happy chickens you have there, if I may say so. As for the mulch, what kind do you use? I have been afraid...

What are others here are using as flooring in their chicken runs? Dirt floors can become muddy, concrete is not natural and provides no drainage, straw, sand and other materials can cause problems and more. There are also pests to keep out. I am thinking excavating a layer, placing down...

If I were a chicken breeder in DeKalb County, Georgia, I would organize a "Chick-In". First, identify who your problems are. The people making the decision to not allow chickens need to be singled out and popular public opinion must be organized against them in a fashion that will make them...

Is it true that the White Holland Chicken is extinct?

Who is robbing them in that video? Themselves. I could not imagine wanting to intentionally disadvantage a child like that.

Profanity warning for the video. www.youtube.com/embed/OIUpvtIqgKw Do you really think there is any hope for these children? I do not and it is not the education system, since they have access, it is because their parents are simply no good. No government run program can fix that and it is...

Really? What has improved? I do not call the breakdown of the family unit with women having to work full time along with their husband just to survive and not being able to be with their children positive strides for women. Just what is an improvement about that? All feminism has been is...

Looks like the aftermath of an Obama beer summit!

There is not always peace, but there is always freedom.

That's right. Also, I have my opinions, everyone does, especially ladies. You seem surprised that we can in fact have opinions, yet still recognize that we do not belong in certain arenas? How could you expect me to make a military strategy, something I know nothing about, let alone any...

Nothing, because I'm a lady and it is the job of men to make war. What kind of alleged man would send a woman to do his job?

Excuse me? I can see that just plenty, hence my comments. We could nuke them, but they would retaliate. The Russians are capable. This is not WWII where we were the only owners in town. There is the threat of swift and sure retaliation if we were to use those horrid weapons. No one wants to...

Yeah, because I'm sure the world is laughing at him now, right? Besides, those pictures are clearly photoshopped. No guns and huge explosions going off in the background. :)
