Do any of you happen to be near Crown Butte? I have a friend who found a nice roo randomly out there today while fishing. She doesn't want to leave him behind.... But she lives in town and can't take him along.

Levi, how many Pekin ducks do you have? I took in a couple ducks that someone dumped outside a school a couple years ago. One was a Pekin. My kids convinced me to get a couple more the other day from runnings. These two really look like runners to me, but I am not a duck expert at all. :)

I would sell chicks in the Bismarck area. You can along my info! I can always only find people looking for pullets or hens and I do not trust my sexing just yet. My hatch is pretty much over. I've got 4 eggs left in the incubator, one is a possible hatch. The other 3 I am pretty certain are...

That is too bad! It just must be a bad time to hatch BCMS around here. I want to try again, just not sure when I can fit it into the calendar from the rest of our travels this summer.

Jealous! I had a bunch of BCM too. My husband had an accident with the incubator though, and from 45 eggs I am down to just a handful of guineas. I have 2 BCM left in there, but I am quite certain they are dead. i might plan one more attempt at them right when I leave for my trip this...

I have thought about it, but I don't have any kids showing birds yet, nor do I sell too many. Anybody else currently hatching? I have about 50 or so eggs to hatch in June.

Thanks for the advice. I did treat the raspy birds and separated them. So far the other half of the flock seems good, though last night there was one new raspy bird. I moved them to my garden shed and set up a little temporary yard for them. All except the roo seemed to be better today...

Hatching is positively addicting. For sure! I only began hatching to help ensure the flock stays healthy and I won't have to take the chance bringing in any diseases. Now 2 days ago a few hens and a rooster started breathing strange. I separated and started treating, but with all them...

When you get those brahmas breeding, I would likely be interested as well. I am pretty excited. My hubs went south to buy a car and I convinced him to pick up a load of guinea eggs, and a few chicken eggs as well. ;). The kids were outside over the weekend and we found 3 ticks, so I decided...

Hmmm. Good to know. Last year I had a dog that would bring eggs home she would steal from the fields. I never would have thought to call and see if there was a permit needed for keeping/hatching them. She broke most of them and ate them of course. I figure it was her form of revenge for...

Really? Do you need a permit for pheasant too? That is something I never thought of...

Ooh! I have been meaning to go to that for a couple of years and always end up missing it. I am so busy from now till school ends, but I hope I can make time to go at least for a bit.

Maverick, I have a friend who has turkeys setting now. She doesn't want any more birds, so she Will be selling poults once they hatch. I can keep you updated. She is between Minot and Bismarck. I believe they are just mixed breeds, but if you are just going to eat them they would probably be...

Cute chicks! We did a small hatching in March, and one for a preschool in April. I had a very wide variety in there. We had Cochins, frizzles, turkens, a few EE, some Welsummers, and a few other mixed breads in there. My older ones have grown out quite nicely, and I expect that I will...

I live more South Central ND, and I have grown a few kinds of beets and chop them up for the birds. They really like the greens. I think this year I will chop and freeze those too so the birds can have at them through the winter.

Western edge, if you ever find a good keeper tomato let me know. So far I have had the best luck with Tomatillos. I typically just can or freeze the tomatoes. Humans get the ones from the jars and the chickens get the ones from the freezer. It makes my hubs crazy because all he sees is me...

I don't live out near Dickinson, but I do something similar to "Western Edge". I get mixed grains and sometimes the screenings from a local elevator and then mix them myself. Some of them I purchase at a different elevator and have them rolled right away. I feed about 25 birds total right...

I've been thinking of how to set up breeding pens myself, but mine need to wait till it actually is nicer. The part of the coop where those will go has no heat or light at the moment. :/

Really?! I had no idea about the brahmas! I had one gorgeous buff orp for a while, but he was such a gentle giant that my big daddy rotten rooster took him out. Made me so sad. I am going to get another this summer I think. He was so handsome ang great with my kids. Rotten roo became...

:). How many chickens do you have now? What breeds? I've got 19 in my coop now. I've got some buckeyes, and welsummers red comets, a few Cochins and super blue layers. Some EE's and one lonely Naked Neck. I guess it's just enough to have a few extra to sell. I figure my birds make enough...
