I am an adult, and have decided to try showing chickens at the county fair this July. I have shown horses, dogs, rabbits, but never chickens so I don't really know how this is done. I visited a chicken show last fall and I think this might be something I can handle! The fair is only 10...
I have 4 turkey eggs in my incubator. I had them shipped. I rested them small end down for at least 12 hours before setting them in my stablizied incubator. Almost two weeks in now, and three of the four are definately developing! One is clear. Anyway, in one of the developing eggs, it...
I had finally found where two of my guineas were laying, and was taking some eggs and putting them in the incubator, and leaving some there. We had a couple rainly days and I didn't go through the brush to get the eggs and then the guinea decided to sit. Okay.
This morning when my husband was...
I posted a week or so ago about my gander taking over my gosling and ducklings I hatched in the incubator. He knows the routene now, the babies go out during the day, then we bring them in the house at night. In the morning when he is let out of the barn, he comes up to the deck and honks...
This is very interesting to me and I would like everyone's insights.
I have had a white Chinese gander and a brown Chinese gander for a couple years now. They hang out with the few ducks. I have always wanted a pair of Sebastopol, but the price of good birds has kept me away. I finally found...
I ordered some Old English Game bantams from Cackle. I wanted Crele for sure, told them no subs for that color. The other two colors I ordered were spangled and splash. I told them they could sub in red pyle or wheaton if needed. I got my chicks today, and it appears I have four different...

I was shopping today at Target and found a goose shirt! It's in the ladies adult section. It's short sleeve, thin, and done in shades of grey. There is a goose on the front, pretty much all the way down the front, and on the back on the bottom of the shirt there are several goslings! Very...
Last year after reading how much fun ya'll have with your incubators, I decided to try it for myself. I wasn't sure how much I would follow through with it, so I went totally basic and picked up a Little Giant still air. No fan, no turner, just the bare bones.
I put some shipped eggs in...
I am a little dismayed to say the least that my peacock has gone on a journey to who knows where. I am hoping some of you have had similar experiences and can give me some hope that all is not lost!
I bought a pair of 2 yr old peafowl last Sept and kept them confined for a few months. I...
I had a coupon for a free pair of panties from Victoria's Secret, so I went in. I found a pair with a peacock on them! They are white with a red and green peacock with sequins right on the fanny. I was so excited! I took them to the register and told the cashier I had to have them because I...
I am new at this, after reading everyone's fun hatching experiences, I had to go out and get an incubator for myself. I decided to go low end, see how I liked it, then perhaps upgrade. I got a LG with no turner, no fan. I bought some eggs and they were shipped, and I also collected some of my...

Hi all,
I have gone to the Kankakee IL animal swap a couple times now. Just yesterday I was talking to someone who had been there as well, and she mentioned that there is a swap in Manteno, IL. too. I can't seem to find out anything about it. Does anyone have any info? Thanks!
