I'm one of those "anti-antibiotic" people-- so I just won't use the medicated feed.

My kiddo has entered a modeling competition thing and one of the components is online votes. Could I ask that, if willing, y'all help me out and vote? You can vote once per day per IP... just click the link, then click the pink "vote for me" button in the upper left of the page. I really...

A long overdue update: Well-- he is a she. Thats the start. And she is a Muscovy. Beautiful brown one at that. She flies now, but has no interest in leaving the property. We have her a little pen set up with food and water, but she spends most of her days on the roof of our house (poop all...

Lol-- ok. All I know are chickens and I know they usually start flying out of our mini box at 3-4 weeks.

DH was asking me about what to do with him earlier and I already told him that if his wing is seriously not right and he cannot fly, that he's gotta stay with us, we can't just turn him loose.

I'm pretty sure he got separated. It really wouldn't surprise me to learn that he was a hatchling this week, he's that small and fluffy.

From the pictures I see on this forum, it looks to be maybe a Mandarin? I can't get the pics to upload. Can't be more than a week or so old, he is just tiny.

To be honest, it looks a lot like the ducks at the duck pond at the college 6 miles up the road. His underbelly is yellow. On top he is brown with yellow spots. I haven't actually SEEN the bird to verify his wing condition-- I'm in Phoenix on business and my DH is the one trying to deal...

Let me start off by saying, we know NOTHING about ducks. I'm a chicken person. Well, either a baby got left behind, or someone assumed since we had chickens that we could deal with a duck, because somebody abandoned a duckling on our property. We brought him in and had a devil of a time...

My best friends husband is in a local radio contest. Its JackFM's "March Baldness". He has made it to the "Follicle Four" and needs help to get past a tough competitor. I need anyone who is willing to go to the website and vote in Bracket 1 for Alex from Allen...

I've raised meaties for a while, but with our move to our new home, I'm also going to start with layers too. How much feed would a flock of say, 75 layers go through in a week? Any guesstimates?

Campbell is where we are moving to, so that would be FABULOUS!!

I live about 60 miles Northeast of Dallas and I am trying to find a processor in the area (just relocated, don't have birds yet but will soon). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Problem with google is that in this area I end up with tons of results for the large processing plants...
