Hello, I live in Prescott and am looking for some Muscovy's. Ducklings are prefered, However if you have a breeding group you are wanting to sell please let me know. Thank You - Nikki

I'm sorry you had to suffer loss but I am glad you posted this. I have been slacking off locking the coop the last couple of days due to not wanting to get up at 5 to open it. This has reminded me why I need to get over it and keep them safe.

Quote: Very cool! Thanks for sharing! We have a rooster and it is silly to me that anyone would have an actual issue with eating a fertilized egg that has not been incubated in any way. Unless you know what to look for most people cannot even tell the difference between a fertile and non...

Quote: I agree. I had hens only for over a year before accidently ending up with a roo. I'm glad I started out with just hens and was able to sit out and just enjoy them.... but I am happy to have a roo now. While he certainly is not friendly he is not "mean" either and has more than shown his...

Thanks!! I will mark them tonight while she is sleeping. I put some water by her this morning so I will move food as well.

Thanks for the quick response. I hope all goes well with the hatch. I guess I will leave her be, I moved her after reading about other hens bullying more timid broody hens and am concerned about the others hurting the babies when they hatch and I also wanted to make sure she had easy access to...

I am dealing with my first broody hen. She had been sitting/setting(?) on the eggs for two days when I moved her into a set up area about 10 feet from the coop. I moved her at night and checked on her an hour later she was asleep on the nest and seemed fine. I'm assuming as soon as the sun came...

Quote: I feel that it is your responsibility to properly deal with your animal. Not only is it cruel to let him (a domesticated pen raised animal) out to slowly or brutally die alone in the 'wild' but you also run the risk of him injuring someone else. I don't mean to be rash and I understand...

'The Reflex' by Duran Duran Sweet! I was just listening to that the other day. Oops I forgot to add my birthday. June 28th 1984

Keep in mind that by "fawn" they mean a slightly smaller 'adult' deer. Not a little spotted baby I used to work with wildlife and they are adorable aren't they.. as are most babies I guess. I've never tried deer meat (I've had plenty of elk though) I look forward to trying it this year!

Are there rapid temperature changes that the eggs go through going from outside to in your house? Could some be starting to freeze inside? I'm grasping at straws I know. Goodluck with your problem! Let us know if you discover why it's happening.

Looks like a ruptured abscess. I agree that he probably licked it clean although the area looks very square and well shaped from the pic.

I'm glad you posted this but very sorry that it happened to you. I've had a great horned owl hanging out around my run. The top is covered in chicken wire but I never thought about them getting them through the side of the cage. I'll take extra precautions tomorrow.

No matter how meticulous you are about keeping the feed and water containers clean. When you have guests that want to see the chicken run the chickens will have flung copious amounts of dirt into the water and will have managed to somehow poop in their feed by the time you get there.

herefordlovinglady: Are you using Firefox to browse? That may be why. I'm not sure how to fix it but I just went on my Opera browser and it comes up correctly. BTW Great job! How did you make it?

When we bought our tiny house in April there was just enough room for a stackable washer dryer unit. Since we were going to live more self sufficient we decided to only purchase a washer and just live without a dryer so that way there would be no excuses for not finding other ways to dry...

Neato! I guess it makes more sense her class is a military history class. What a neat thing to do.

Drum Roll Please . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The TX - 7! thank you all for your help we ended up really liking the look and reviews of the TX although I have no doubt that they are all great. Not planning on putting eggs in until mid - late December (if I can wait that long ) I will...

What a bust. I was up until 1:30 again at 2:30 and at 4am I saw 8 the whole time. It was perfectly clear with little light pollution.

Quote: Come up here than! You and the fam can chill on our deck and watch the show! I can't wait it is crystal clear here!
