I know the girls are! Are the boys quite like most male ducks, or loud mouths?

8 eggs, no development. Is the problem more likely not fertile or rough handling by PO? The incubator has been perfect, only 2 air cells looked loose.

DH and I have been considering it for about 2 years. We have 5 kids and a SUV capable of towing about 6,000 pounds. With 5 kids getting a hotel room is pricey at best . We have kinda looked. We know we want a quad bunk style 8-10 passenger. We know nothing else about them really. Do you...

I rode until we had kids. Took a 10 year break from horses to be mom and be pregnant. I always told myself when I found a good horse I would go back. I might have found a horse. I have a great place to board, but it seems very expensive. How much do you pay for stall or pasture board? The...

Looks like I will be homeschooling our 5yo ds this fall. We did special needs public school last year and you could just tell the teachers were burning out dealing with him. He's severely OCD and speech delayed with a high anxiety level. We were going to do public again but he would be moved...

I am ordering some ducks from Metzer soon. I only need 4 or 5. They do ship small orders but the small order charge is hefty, so I will probably just fill in with some Peking for the freezer if no one wants a few. Please PM if you are interested!

I have an assortment of the white slow, red and black coming. Can anyone experienced with them tell me at what age you butchered them?

For 3 or 4 for mid size duckies? http://www.doghouses.com/dog-houses/wood-dog-houses/barndoghouse2.cfm

We have decided to get a few ducks. I am really lost on the best breeds for suburbia. We would like eggs, but we have plenty of hens, so laying isn't really critical. We have on order some Cayugas, but I can still change that for a few weeks. We need quieter, good natured ducks. Any...

I need to find a few for next years fair for our daughter to show. They only have 4 breeds and that's one. We have the other kinds , but she wants to do it all herself. Anyoneone know of good breeders, or a hatchery with good stock?

Faced with PILES of berries, I have zoomed through 20 pounds for jam and am on to pies. Any way to freeze an uncooked pie so I can just throw it in the oven later?

I have eggs in the incubator, and let's say it's been a rough go. Broody had them, fine, then crushed some(2 died), took them, power went out for a day, back under broody, hen off nest day 20, back upstairs! When I put them in, 2 looked "good", another 2 looked "maybe", the last I threw in...

I need an incubator QUICK. Had two broodys on eggs, 5 days apart. Broody #2 left the nest, so I figured I'd slide them under broody #1 and put them in an (new) incubator at 18 days. Went to TSC, they were out of them. Feed store, also out. SO, I need one ASAP. The next TSC is quite a...

Just a second incubator you put eggs in on day 18?

Ours are good natured, curious, and great foragers! Are they all like this? We are really enjoying them more than I expected

Dh was very sweet and brought home more chicks than I needed (by far) and I have way too many, or just need a bigger coop Delaware. I have 2 girls and 2 boys, about 5-6 weeks old. I would like to sell in pairs (1 boy & 1 girl) for $5 each pair. Speckled Sussex, 2 or 3 pullets, maybe a...

Do I slide eggs under hen and incubate other 6, put other 6 under hen when they get here, or something else? I bought 2-6 packs of eggs. Both should have been here by now.

When my daughter noticed the "poultry blend" fresh herbs and wanted to buy them for the chickens to eat.

By letting them sit on both fertile eggs and golf balls? I only have 6 fertile eggs.

I have one MEAN EE chick, guessing boy. He's 5 ish weeks and is picking everyone, even the ones 2x his size, and will fly up in my face if he doesn't like me where I am. My question is, if I remove him, will someone else be the meanie? Is there always a meanie? My hens have a boss, but no...
