    Hen or Roo

    Straight run polish. Not sure if rooster or hen yet. My current rooster chases it every day. :I

    Okkota the picky pot bellied piglet.

    She is eleven days old, we got her when she was a week. I'm trying to help her shape up to be a decent house pet, she potties outside on her own and enjoys being near us. I know they say to allow a piglet some alone time so they don't rely on our attention at all times. And I try to allow her...

    Okkota the picky pot bellied piglet.

    So. My partner and I met up with one of his co-workers friends to pick up a piggy. His sow gave birth, he has fourteen already, and he was just determined to get rid of the piglets fast. Well. Okai. I've had pretty decent luck with baby animals and I can usually convince the pickiest eaters to...

    Delta the spoiled Roo

    Delta is a seven month old easter egger. And after being told it's a boy, I couldn't bring myself to part with him. He was bought from our local tractor and supply company during the chickens days with his brother Omega. Omega is successfully rehomed to a six lady flock across town. But Delta...

    Have a crowing pullet

    It takes some adjusting before the right "measure" fits around the neck. I have a rooster outside that this works incredibly well with. But I do have to caution anyone intending to try it. I kept my outside rooster indoors for a couple days while I was fitting the collar on him to quiet him. I...

    Have a crowing pullet

    Update on Delta. We got him a no crow collar and in a week, we're putting him with the flock. Hopefully. He's deeply spoiled and thints he belongs indoors.

    Have a crowing pullet

    I think my pullet is confused. She's an indoor henlet that sometimes crows. I think it's a she, because the baby roo I bought her with started really crowing a month earlier (He was five months) and I was forced to rehome him. (We can't have roosters in town.) Well. Delta, the one pictured...

    Shut the Duck up! Quiet types of ducks? Anyone?

    Well. I'm getting an order of one cayuga and one swedish blue later this month. I'm hoping they can be raised quietly-er than miss Kilo. I greatly appreciate all the input so far! And I will definitely share my results of my ducklings and ducks when they arrive. It's been so rainy here this...

    Shut the Duck up! Quiet types of ducks? Anyone?

    Kilo and Zulu She has pretty quiet today, and I think it's because it's been a cooler day than usual. Zulu doesn't normally take interest in the chickens, unless they start it first. I'm getting him some ladies this coming month. Maybe a blue and cayuga...?

    Shut the Duck up! Quiet types of ducks? Anyone?

    Oh, it's a girl thing to be loud? xD I clip all my birds wings because my dogs are obnoxious. My flock is behind a tall fence with chicken wire around the wood. I've been told drakes will accidentally kill hens trying to mount. I don't know how true this is, but I'm intending on getting a female...

    Shut the Duck up! Quiet types of ducks? Anyone?

    So. I bought two ducklings in the spring from our not-local T&S Co. I picked a black one and a yellow one. Their names are Kilo and Zulu, because they were straight run ducklings. Well. It's been some months. Zulu is turning into a beautiful mallard drake and Kilo, after finally outgrowing her...

    Hello from the bread-basket moo-state

    I am a twenty eight year old city woman (Apparently Toms River, New Jersey is considered a city.) living in a small town just outside Colorado. I live with my life partner, who works on a dairy, and my four fur-sons and a dogter. I also have three indoor cats and one indoor henlet (named Delta)...
