    I'm going to put some duck eggs in the incubator this weekend if I get them and get it all cleaned. Ask me how much I regret it in a month. :)

    Do any of you have Indian Runner ducklings or eggs? BHep, I know I got a couple from you a few years ago... I've got a good chicken flock going, but want to add a few runners. They're great egg layers and I like their awkwardness. :) I'm in Zebulon, east of Raleigh. For the record, I'm...

    Any chicks, pullets, or hens. I only have 3 hens right now and I have space to keep chicks separate. I've been thinking about putting a batch in the incubator. For roosters, any mid-larger breed works. Ideally not too grumpy-I have a 7 year old who plays outside a lot. I have 1 acre fenced and...

    You know, I only ever had the one Polish hen and she was so flighty and spooky that I traded her. I tend to keep bigger productive hens, but I like diversity in my flock! My other chickens just picked on that one Polish so bad that I never got another out of worry for the same thing. How...

    Well, I'm back. I used to post here a couple of years ago, but moved away to Brazil. I'm back in NC now. Things didn't work out there, unfortunately. I've moved back in my old house and have started with my first few hens. I lost two roosters to a raccoon, but trapped and relocated the...

    We are moving to my husband's hometown in Para, Brazil. He will leave tentatively next month and our son and I in December. Let me do an inventory tonight of what I have exactly and I will get back to the board. Some I will give away, some I will take to auction. We will also soon have our...

    I also have a truck, enclosed trailer, some tools, and a house full of furniture to get rid of if anyone is looking for anything specific!

    People close to Raleigh-we are moving and have some chickens to get rid of. Many of them are young hens who should be laying soon (backyard mixes and others). I'm not interested in getting money for most of them, just a good home. I also have 5 runner ducks-2 pair and 1 extra drake. You must...

    Bumblefoot-have any people local to me handled this themselves? I have a young leghorn hen that I noticed limping. Upon closer inspection, she has a large bulging "blister" between two toes (On top) and on her "heel" (in back)...This is the only thing I can think of....Does it sound like...

    OK, before reading these responses, I went to Tractor Supply and found "Poultry and Garden Dust" in the chicken section. It describes dusting the birds and the coop and using it for vegetable gardens, but it isn't called "Sevin". I also saw DE, but didn't buy any. We're going to trap everyone...

    So whether I use DE or Sevin, I dust the actual birds, right? Would it be ok for chicks, too?
