Is it too late to say I'm coming? We went to the last one and sold everything I brought in about two hours! What a turn out! My hubby and I met alot of very nice people. If it's not to late, I'll bring: Bourbon Red Turkeys (2) Royal Palm Turkeys (2) Mixed (see above) turkey (1) Call ducks...

Thanks for the info! I will try to be there!

I went to one at the feed store in Powhatan a while back, but there had been a mix up and there was also one at the Tractor Supply: Wasn't really anybody there! I was just wondering how many do you think will be there? Do they get alot of foot traffic? I'm from Louisa and it's a pretty...

Just did some research on the net and found a book preview titled: Egg Incubation Its Effects on Embryonic Development in Birds and Reptiles. I must say, the parts I could read convinced me to continue turning my eggs! There seems to have been alot of real research into this so it's not just...

What a fasinating topic...I will try not turning some of my eggs this summer. If it works well, then imagine all the money saved in turners! (not to mention all the extra plug in sockets I need right now!LOL) I am curious about the first few days though, would like to see some more info on...

I thought it might be genetics, will try her eggs again soon now that she can breed with my other males. Do you know of any duck genetics that could do this? I know about the short legged japs having this problem, just wondering if there are things like that with ducks. I'm about 4 miles west...

I've been raising a few call ducks for a couple of years now, but I've recently ran into a sad problem. Last fall I bought the cutest pair of magpie call ducks at a sale. The female is extremely small, much smaller than my other ducks. I couldn't wait for spring, so I put them in a breeding...

Beautiful birds, BamaChicken! Just noticed your web site. Have you had it long? The three I hatched from your eggs are turning out beautiful, too...Can't wait to post adult pics! Your really improving my poor flock! Keep us posted on your up coming shows, and lots of pics, please!!!

My pair of egyptian geese layed all winter, and I was also wondering if they will continue to lay. I got them at 4 weeks old in May last year and they started to lay in September. I hatched two eggs in November just to see if I could, and have just moved the big babies out a few weeks ago...

Sly, come right early, you can help butcher!

What great silkies!!! Hope mine from you come out half that good!! Can't wait. Are Jody's buffs the same age? They look younger. My sister has a couple of hatches from Jody...She just has to share!lol

OMG! I'm so sorry! Any egg is sad to lose, but bought ones are tougher to take...I cooked some of my very first eggs...I feel your pain. How far along were they? Maybe the weren't that high that long? Keep us posted...

Well, I'm no expert, but I have three little giants and have gotten some great hatches the last couple of years. Just got my first hova bator and got it up and running last week. The biggest difference between the two are the adjustment nobs. The little giant only needs the slightest touch to...

I'll try the grapes, I grow a few and will buy some, thanks! I will have to give them a roost outside, my male dances for the female 24/7! She even jumped pens and is now next door with my d'uccles! What kind of cover would you recommend? Their ground is packed and I can't get anything to...

Thanks for the info, guys. I'm sorry to say I have a kill pen going already this year, but I will try to cook them again! I didn't let the little guys age at all in the fridge last time I tried to cook them and no one could swallow a bite! Wish me luck!
