I got my Welshie from Metzer. She was my absolute favorite and I had no problems with shipping. They are good about sending a heat pack and my post office called as soon as they arrived. I do know that Ideal does get magpies if you are just looking for black and white coloring.

No one gets pleasure killing someone's pet. It is something I hope never to have to do but i have a responsibility to protect my birds. Just because your dog does something natural doesn't mean it's right. If you have a rooster attack you do you keep it around just because it was doing...

Unfortunately my dad has also ran into the problem with stray dogs injuring his alpacas. It pretty much came down to him being told he needs a better to fence to keep out unwanted dogs. He could shoot anything that was harming his livestock and be covered but he was responsible for keeping out...

I'm in suburbia and still have poisonous snakes around. I like snakes but if they can bite me, my kids or my pets it has to go. I don't particularly enjoy killing them but they can travel and I won't chance it. I had a baby rattler next to my front door, my hubby had to handle a copper head...

Super cute pics! My kids do that all the time too. They love picking up the chickens and ducks and carrying them all around the yard.

Heck no! We need this rain. My foundation was starting to crack from all the rain in the spring and then hot and dry for the last few weeks. My poor lawn and plants need this rain.

My kids fight over who get to pick up the eggs first and who gets to hold them walking back to the house. We have lost quite a few eggs due to this but they have yet to lose interest in collecting eggs. Depending on the color and size we can all tell who laid what. We have been getting eggs...

My chickens seem to just be miserable but I'm still getting eggs from them. They just look hot and panting all day. The ducks seem to tolerate the heat better but egg production has dropped a bit, however I have one starting to molt so I don't know if the drop in eggs is actually heat related...

I'm sorry, that sucks

You can also request no packing peanuts.

Where are you located?

That sucks, I know the feed store around me has chicks all year. You can always order some too.

I was one of the lucky ones and have been getting rain everyday here in Round Rock. Maybe the crack in my house will start shrinking? The ducks love that we finally have a little puddle going for a few hours.

I use this electrolyte recipe quite often for my flock when it gets hot. http://www.fresheggsdaily.com/2012/07/hot-weather-acidosis-and-homemade.html?m=1. I'll also put peas and a little bit of corn in muffin tins and then fill it up with the electrolyte mix and freeze. When it really hot I'll...

Awesome! She sure is a looker.

I'm in Round Rock.

I freeze peas and some corn in an electrolyte mixture in muffin tins. The. Pop a few out and toss them to the birds. Cool water with electrolytes when we hit the heat advisories and as much as they hate me I will spray them down with the hose. My ducks are much easier to cool off because I...

I had to order mine from Metzer. Ideal does sell KC as well, but not WH.

Anyone else having a hard time with fleas this year?
