Just posted a ad on the auction thread. "120+ Muscovy Hatching eggs for $150 free shipping"

Hopefully someone wants to bid! I'm getting around 80+ eggs a day.

Have you been able to find homes for your adult muscovies?

My garden is thriving!!!

And my chickies are finally able to sit on the dog house so we put in their perch for them.
They're getting so big!

I had my glasses off when I read your post--I was squinting at the picture looking for your chicks!

Your plants look good, now show us your chicks picture in their new place.

It didn't upload lol. They were taking a dust bath together and then when I got closer they ran over to say hi.

My Ameraucana hen went broody. I've been collecting her eggs and saving just for that. I didn't think she would be the first one to go broody, or that she would go broody at all. I was hoping she would keep laying while I put her eggs under everyone else to hatch.

Anyone else use a meat grinder? If so, looking for recommendations.. I am on my 2nd cheapie and holding my breath that it makes it through the cow. I think this time I'm going to invest in a good one. I have half the cow cut up, 30 some pounds of hamburger so far. Several pounds stew meat, roasts from the hindquarters. Saving the suet to make winter treats for the chickens!
My chickens and ducks are laying like mad. out of my 15 girls I'm at 4 dozen eggs already this week! I also discovered a broody goose today. Shes nested under the back porch. And my guineas are finally laying! Will probably set some eggs and hatch keets.

Hey everyone! I'm Chris, I live in Indy with my fiance and our daughter, and I just got my first flock this morning! 1 buff, 1 australorps, and 1 black sex link, all around 4mo. Names TBD as we learn their personalities. I'm excited to be a part of this group and especially excited to finally have my own flock!

Hello! We're on the Southwest side ourselves. This is my first time raising my own! I helped my dad raise some broilers, but that was about a decade ago lol.

@pipdzipdnreadytogo
Another hatch should occur here tomorrow. (2 eggs are already pipped)

In the meantime, can you give me another silkied cochins fix? Your teeny babies are soooo cute! My giant orps are never that small which is why I find your chicks so interesting.
