Thanks.

Thanks.

I’ll contact poison control and will not be using this forum going forward. Thank you for those who assisted.

This exactly.

Hands down a Rottweiler or Rottweiler mix (personality swaying towards Rottie). I have a Black Lab/Rottie Mix that I adopted BEFORE the farm... i got him from the SPCA and if I could clone him I would! Absolutely fabulous around baby animals, even pigs. Doesn’t bark all day and night like a LGD...

They are here! Perfect unassisted delivery (husband found her farrowing at 4pm), 8 beautiful babies (4 boys, 4 girls). The black one looks like the male she was with when I rescued her. Omg. So cute!

I am going to call Duncan’s and talk with them. Call Hoover’s back and ask for pictures. Maybe even do a trial group for the board?

Thanks!

My husband said the same thing as you. I hope someone else can chime in and help!

Two hatcheries are listing Red Broilers (new for 2018) with the same stock photo, Hoover’s and Duncan’s. I called Hoover’s customer service and the gal said the Red Broiler was from Hubbard breeding stock and if I heard her correctly, crossed with a Cornish. The description states the down/pin...

My BR roo is courting my California White ladies. I plan to start collecting eggs for hatch in August when the girls are a year old. I know for a fact that my California Whites are from Hy-Line Leghorn hens crossed with a California Grey rooster. A California Grey rooster is a BR X Leghorn...

It does not but interestingly enough the 8th ingredient is Brewer’s Yeast. It also lists Niacin Supplement towards the end.

Thanks everyone. I am not using medicated feed nor have I ever. I either use Nuterna Meat Bird or Chick Starter (non-medicated) for my chicks. Question: could I add some crushed Calf Manna to their feed to help with the niacin?

They are fairly small. Chicks didn’t have any trouble with it. I even sat a plastic igloo hideout on the brooder pad and the chicks really likes that for sleeping at night. Would that be beneficial for ducks? I keep my garage windows ajar for fresh air so cool air does come in at night.

Do you mean in addition to the heating pad? It covers a great deal of the cage. Yes, I’m happy they are calm with the heating pad. I picked it up brand new at an estate sale. Brooded 9 CW chicks on it. I will never use a heat lap again. I LOVE that they can go to sleep at night!!! I no longer...

I’ll take a look into the feeding threads. I’m real big into fresh and wholesome feeds after the initial chick starter phase. I get fresh fruits and veg scraps from a local grocery (pick t up straight from the cooler). I hear ducks like watermelon.

Sorry, I was in the middle of writing my post and accidentally hit the post button. Joys of a “smart phone” Wow! Everyone is so fast to reply!

I’ve never owned ducks before, so any advice is helpful. I did read that Un medicated chick starter is ok for the first 2 weeks (using Nutrena Naturewise) and never let them run out of water. I sanitized my chick brooder, reptile heating pad and feeding accessories. I hope to keep them in here...

Getting closer!!!

There is a small animal auction in Kingsville. I’ve never been and since I am so worried about disease, I wouldn’t dare buy a chicken at one. Would rabbits be a safer bet if quarantined for 30 days?
