    does anybody keep laying hens in Greece,NY? (suburb of Rochester,NY)

    Amanda, I don't know if you're still around or not. I was hoping you were on here. I sent you a private message with my email. I saw the news article posted today and thought this would be the perfect time to try and change the laws in our town. I too live in Greece NY and was considering...

    I'm Momma!

    So I found 8 mallard eggs on the side of a highway and I took them and put them in the incubator. 1 was a dud, 4 just never hatched, 2 started hatching and didn't make it, and the last one I helped by opening the shell for him since he was exhausted and the others didn't make it. Well, since...

    Is the egg still good?

    The silkie mix at the bottom was sold to me as a hen, so I've been assuming it was a hen. It's name is "Pants" because it looks like he/she's wearing pants. It doesn't crow. The one at the top was also sold as a hen, he/she hasn't crowed either (well my bf CLAIMS he heard him crow but I...

    Duck enclosures?

    That's what I was saying! That would be crazy if they did that. I'm hoping it's not true! I'll have to go have a talk with my neighbors about them. I'm sure they're fine with it (hey look, free eggs). My one neighbor is awesome and friendly. My other neighbor seems nice, she's about 90...

    Duck enclosures?

    So I just "saved" four ducks. The school that my step mom works for does an experiment where they hatch ducks and then watch them grow a little. They then either get to keep the ducks or return them to the farm. Supposedly once they get back to the farm, the babies are drowned. (that's what i...
