    I think i have a disease running through my flock??

    UPDATE: Well, got home from work again and found one dead guinea, a dead gamecock chick and a very lethargic gamecock hen and the other chick was also very lethargic. I ended up dispatching them. Then i go into the laying hen pen, and of the 9 hens in there, 7 are either on their bellies unable...

    I think i have a disease running through my flock??

    Came home form work today and went to do the usual feeding routine of the animals. I get to the hen coop and there is a hen down, i thought "uh oh" the introduction of our older hen into this pen didnt go so well, as this hen was beat up. Then i noticed another hen in the corner of the shelter...

    Not happy with USPS right now.

    Thanks for everyones thoughts. I did everything on my end right, i used horizon boxes, called to confirm that the birds could be shipped, and i got to the P.O as soon as it opened so the birds could get out on the first truck to the main hub then to the airport. I am not saying everyone in the...

    Can wild ducks be tamed? I think they are mallards.

    Saving dogs, Its illegal to catch wild ducks for the purpose of eating or keeping in captivity, unless you are a licensed hunter and hunt them with a shotgun which is the only legal means to kill them, in season of course!! You really dont want to mess with wild ducks illegally, since you not...

    A pair of Ring Teal for sale!

    Quote: A Federal permit is not required to keep Ring Teal as they are not native to the USA, they are native to Argentina. However, you may want to check with your state fish and game division to see if you need special permits for them, i know most states do not require a permit for them...

    A pair of Ring Teal for sale!

    Thank you very much Birch Run Farm and Green Family Farms!! Ring teal are very neat little birds, and quite docile for "wild type" fowl. The neat thing about them is they dont moult either, they keep their plumage year round, just losing a few feathers at a time and replacing them as they go...

    Anybody Keep Wood Ducks Here?

    I have 5 pairs of wood ducks (and other species as well!) and have been raising them for 3 years now, they are a great duck to look at, but dont get your hopes up in taming them down, they are wild. They breed quite readily in captivity, but to increase the odds of nesting success provide 2-3...

    A pair of Ring Teal for sale!

    I have a pair of Ring teal for sale. These birds are 3 years old and are prime breeding age. They are fairly docile birds, they wont eat out of your hand, but love to have meal worms tossed to them which they eat very willingly!! They are small ducks so they dont need a large enclosure, just...
