Hey Spunky! Shouldn't be a problem at all! Chickens can eat almost anything. Just check on this site for a thread regarding foods that can be toxic over time. Good luck!

I would be willing to sell, but i can't deliver as things stand.

Hey there! I don't know anyone who has for sale at the moment. However i will be hatching ducklings in September and October if things go well. I can let you know.

I've had success removing eggs from the floor and placing them in the nest box/area. The next day (or when she needs to lay again) she will probably lay where you want her to. Hope it helps

I did investigation into running an incubator through loadshedding, and found the setup cost to be about R4500 Basically you will need a deep cycle car battery, an invertor, a charger, and a switch/mechanism to allow the battery to take over when the power is out. I sourced it all in Durbs...

Just had 27 quail chicks hatch since yesterday afternoon! Such a happy chappy

Well we had a strong week of rain three or four weeks back :) but no complaints! I know its needed!

We've had some serious rain here recently, not the best weather for chickens Thinking of getting a pair of ducks

Mongoose havn't been a problem here for a long time. I think its the surplus of dogs keeping them from coming into town as they used to.

A Zulu chicken is the indigenous fowl from KZN. They're hardy and well adapted to foraging.Very weather resilient. And possibly the best feature, like the Nguni cattle, they're a lucky packet every time! Any given hen and roosters could throw out white, brown, green, red,striped, splashed...

And they're all more or less the same size...

I'll defiantly try that!

I batle to candle my incubator eggs? Perhaps my light isn't strong enough or the ambient light to bright? Sometimes I'm convinced the shell of the egg is too thick. Is there a trick to it?

Macksy its the urgency that costs so much! Its possible to get day old chicks for as little as R8! But i understand your excitement and the need to make sure they're all hens. However about your mixed flock... What if you got a Koekoek, a Rhode Island red, a Lohman brown, a black Australorp and...

Beautiful birds Woop Woop! I hope it works out!

Congratulations!!
