Not sure if this is the right group for this question, but I am trying to raise some crickets, and have a few questions. . . Hopefully someone will have some advice for me. First, they have food and water and stuff to climb on/in. I put a container of moist dirt in and they laid eggs in it, but...

I used to have zebra finches and would love to get some again, or any other type of Finch (society, red ear, etc). We are in Ohio, about 30 minutes west of Columbus. If you have any or know of any, please let me know Thank you

I had 13 chicks hatch on Saturday, and by using the wing growth method to determine sex, one is a boy, one I am not sure, and the rest are girls. Has anyone else had that happen? I always thought it would be about half and half.

Hello, I have 13 adult hens, and now 11 chicks, 2-4 wks old. And 6 ducklings. I was wondering if I should give them grit or oyster shells? I have some Oyster shells for the hens, but the pieces are really big and they don't seem to really eat them. I looked at TSC today, and they have...

We got 10 chicks from TSC, but we are not sure what breed they are, maybe the golden ones are buff orps? I have no idea what the black ones are, the one has a little bit of white on its belly and eyes and the other 2 are solid black. A couple days later we got 6 chicks from our local feed...
