Thank you. It sounds like they can be a go for me. I just want to clarify one thing. You said to put a light on them if i want them to lay year round. Should it be just a light (like 60-100 watt) or should it be a heat lamp (250 watt)? Again, thank you. I can't wait to add some more variety...

I have a few questions regarding Bob Whites. Are they difficult to raise? Are they good for meat? Can I keep them in wire cages off the ground (i.e. rabbit cages)? How long does it take for them to become mature and lay eggs? Can they withstand single digit weather in winter? Will they need a...

Ah-Ho-Dee-Ho!!!! My duckling is back to normal. I think a lot of rest and warm swimming water was the key. I will put it back with the others tomorrow; just to make sure. Thank you again!

Ok, I will try the bath and the charcoal. I feed all of my ducks chicken layer crumbles, so I have to add the extra niacin. I haven't done that in a while because they seemed fine, but will add some to the feed, and will get in the habit of adding it frequently. Thanks for the reminder...

I have a 7 week old Buff duckling that started limping suddenly today. It has trouble walking and is not as perky and alert as it was a day or two ago. It prefers to sit instead of standing around with the other duck at the water. There is no sign of external injury and I have no idea what to...

I had a great hatch last weekend, but half of my chicks died! I think they got too cold. Here is the issue. They look and act healthy, but then they get weak, sit with closed eyes and appear that they are dying. Does anyone have ideas to what is going on? I already checked my Chicken Heath...

To be honest, I don't know where I will get my ducks from. I am still working on that part.

I plan on having 3 Kaki Campbells (1 drake & 2 ducks in their own cage) and give them layer rations only when they start laying. I also plan on giving them 13-14 hours of light each day through the winter. Thank you guys so much. This really helps. Now I know for sure that I can have ducks!!!!

I am looking into getting a few ducks, but I have a question about feed. I want my ducks to lay all year long. So, is it OK if I feed them chicken layer pellets all the time, even if I have a drake in with the hens? I read that its bad for the drakes to have layer pellets all of the time. I have...

Yes. There was nothing in my immediate area.

I live in the Coeur D' Alene area in Idaho and I'm looking to get another pet bird. Would anyone know of parrot or parakeet breeders in Northern Idaho, or Eastern Washington?

Ok I'll start putting Vitamins and Electrolytes in the water. But what should I do in the lipping. It is her right leg and she is missing more feathers on the right one then the left. She does not have any bumble foot nor any mites on her leg. Strangely, she started getting a scab on her breast...

Ok the other post didn't seem to go through or something. I have a D'uccle hen that has a limp, curled toes on the right leg, less feathers on her right leg and a scab on her breast bone. She looks healthy except for the symptoms above. Does she have slipped tendon or some other condition that I...

I think one of my d'Uccle hens has slipped tendon. I don't know for sure. Here are her symptoms, any advice/help is GREATLY APPRECIATED. Limping, scab on breast bone, curled toes, difficulty walking. She does not have any legs twisted inward or outward, and she looks perfectly healthy. She is...

Before I forget again, they are Black Orpington roosters that I am selling.

I am selling these two roosters because I do not have enough room for them. $5 dollars each or best offer. I am willing to ship them, however I have not calculated that into the cost at this time.

I purchased some hatching eggs from a breeder in Cle Ellum, Wa. Good stock. Check out Korfus Kluckers Exhibition Poultry online. The breeder carries large Orpingtons, and some call ducks.

Are you looking for chicks, hatching eggs, or adults?

6 eggs today. It has been slow because of the weather.

I have raised chicks to sell and love doing it. For good layer breeds (i.e, rhode islands, jersey giants, orpingtons and so on) , you could price them at $3 each. For chicks that you have raised to around 15-17 weeks and have not started laying, those could go for $20 or more!! The buyer would...
