I live in KCMO and have raised chickens for 5 years; added 4 ducks this year. I've got Road Island Reds, Barred Rock, an Americana, and White Leghorn. Ducks are Rouen. My Organic feed guy (troque farms) isn't restocking for the winter so does anyone have a source in this area?

My first to mult this year. Check out those legs!

Mine enjoy jumping for grapes off my vine...:( They also really enjoy cherry tomatoes and cabbage. They'll eat the broccoli leaves if I let them. This year we had an uprising of cicadas; they went crazy trying to eat them. At one point I went out in the evening and collected probably 50 of...

I don't have a glass back door, so don't have them looking at me but sometimes I'll find an egg on the porch. They always meet me on the porch when it's feed time though. I do fermented food so it takes a minute to get out, they even though I never feed them up there... I've considered...

Nice. Haven't had that happen yet. Have gotten a few doubles though.

2 ee 1 copper maran All about 15 weeks I have 15 total, remainder are laying age, but only getting a few eggs a day; 5 max. Maybe it's just too hot.

I've got a buff bantam that does this too. I've been offered eggs but haven't tried it. I just broke her but if it doesn't take I may take up the offer.

I've gotten about 4 from 8 birds in the last year and a half. Think it depends on the bird, but I hear it's more common in young birds.

2 from 15 birds. They differ in age so not all laying age yet. Normally get 4 or 5. Might be the close to 100* weather.

I'm in KC MO northland. Thanks donrae.

Age wise I was thinking it was a maran (we got several batches at different ages) but the wife was sure it was an EE. Living in a city has it's drawbacks. I don't mind roos. We mistakenly got 3 before and they made a nice broth.

I was fairly sure... Anyone need an ee roo? :D Thanks core.

Thanks for looking!
