    Crumbled vs pellet

    Quote: I was just wondering this myself today. I have always fed crumbles and they waste sooo much! What is not just scattered around turns to powder in the feeder. I have noticed the same thing with my younger ones still on starter. It seems like such a waste! I am working on making some kind...

    Can someone tell me what she is please?

    Quote: I just seen the pic. Your ducks are gorgeous!! She does look just like them! I am now the proud owner of a Khaki Campbell! I have it figured that she is around 18-20 weeks old and so is my male Pekin. When do ducks start laying?

    Can someone tell me what she is please?

    WOW really? Okay, I never have claimed to know a thing about ducks! LOL... My husband wants more ducks and I was thinking about Snowy Mallards. I think they are beautiful, but have not been able to find any nearby.

    What time do yours stop laying?

    Yes, that is my RIR roo! He used to be pretty quiet until I got my EE roo and now he crows ALL DAY LONG! I think he is VERY jealous!

    Can someone tell me what she is please?

    We bought these 2 ducks from our local farm supply store last spring. Can anyone tell me what the brown one is? I was thinking a Pekin/Rouen cross.

    What time do yours stop laying?

    Your girls are beautiful!! I let mine free range from about 7am to dark on about 11 acres. Though they never go that far,they all go back to the coop to lay during the day. They are usually all done laying by noon or so.

    Meat eating RIR

    Quote: As far as disease goes, I dont actually catch mice/rats and feed them too my chickens. They free range all day so there is no telling what they are finding out there to eat!! We live way out in the sticks with farmers fields all around us so there are LOTS of bugs, mice, rats, snakes...

    Meat eating RIR

    I went out to collect eggs the other afternoon and 5 of my hens were playing keep away with a HUGE rat that was still alive enough to be squeeling at the top of its little lungs! I feel sorry for my cat if he ever gets too close to the chickens! They also LOVE mice and snakes!

    Quote: My Barred Rocks are very faithful layers of lighter brown eggs. Out of 5 hens, I get 4-5 eggs a day. They are not nearly as large as my RIRs and EEs though. I have also been thinking of Marans and Welsummers, but at the moment I have sooo many chicks! I did hatch out 2 black sex links...

    I just got my first 8 guineas a few weeks ago! 4 of them are now 3 weeks old and the other 4 are 1 week old today. They are so funny to watch and very frightened of everything!!
