Hello,
I have a mixed flock with a number of breeds…I have two roosters, an Australorp and an Easter egger. Are there any cool crosses I can make? Are there any breeds that would create sex link chicks with these roosters? Thank you.
Hello,
Does anyone have recommendations on a breed for a rooster? I have a mixed flock and obviously any offspring will have the genetic characteristics of the roo as well. Any suggestions on an all around good breed for roos? Thank you.
Hello,
I am looking for ideas for a duck house. I free range my ducks. I want to be a duck house by a pond on my property. Can anyone post some pictures of a duck house? What do I need to think about in terms of designing a duck house? Although I free range my ducks, I would like to be able to...

I hatched some chicks including cream leg bar chicks. I’m curious how a cream leg bar rooster does in a flock? Does anyone have thoughts/experience? I only want one rooster.
Hello,
I have a broody duck. Can I place both duck eggs and chicken eggs under her? I assume that because a chicken is 21 days to hatch and a duck is ~ 28 days, I would need to remove the chickens and use a brooder while mama duck sits another week? I assume the chickens hatching won’t snap her...
Hello,
I am searching for anyone who lives in Western North Carolina (I am in Henderson County) that sells fertilized eggs! I have a broody hen 🙂. Thank you
Hello,
Are there any reputable companies that sell fertilized eggs? I understand the hatch rate is much lower if shipping but I have a broody bird and was thinking of putting eggs under her just to see. Thank you. 👍🏻
