    Colorado

    Out of curiosity, does anyone know of any place in Colorado that sells sexed ducklings or even older ducks? I'm not opposed to ordering from a hatchery to ship under normal circumstances, but I'd like to support local if I can and we need just a few more ladies. I'd like to avoid having to pay a...

    Okay. You Have Chickens. What Else?

    Outside animals we have just the 12 chickens and the 10 ducks, but we're currently looking for at least 5 more female ducks to add to the flock in the hope of getting a better ratio of drakes to hens. Inside animals is a lot. We have 3 senior guinea pigs, 9 tarantulas, 4 toads, a frog, a...

    Irresponsible cat neighbors?

    I haven't had a cat since before my son was born and he's allergic so I'm unlikely to get another unless he gets older and is game for doing the allergy shots. That said, my cats have always been indoor only cats, or had a catio if they were more outside inclined. But I know plenty of people who...

    Things you wish you could say

    My elementary school once had us tucked under the desks during a drill in case NORAD in Colorado Springs ever got bombed during a nuclear attack. I don't honestly remember what else we were supposed to do, I just remember 2 of my classmates asking the teacher how hiding under the desk would do...

    Oh wow! We're really close to each other then! Thank you for the offer, I'll let you know if we need to take you up on it! We've got our run mostly done now, just need to add a ceiling to keep out those pesky hawks!

    Chat room for non religious poultry keepers! :D

    I have never been humbled faster in my life than when I mispronounced Queztzalcoatlus to my 5 year old. I also got a very disgusted look for calling them dinosaurs during the same conversation. I know they're technically not dinosaurs, but people refer to them as it so its normally socially...

    Things you wish you could say

    I wish I could say that I have been on my best behavior and top tier mom mode today as it's technically a holiday, but chronic pain is messing with me, and I am tired and not as engaged as I would like to be. At least I can say that the kiddo hasn't seemed to notice anything and thinks today has...

    Chat room for non religious poultry keepers! :D

    I was raised a weird mixture of pagan on one side of the family and southern baptist on the other and nowadays I'm a whole lot of nothing religious to be honest. Agnostic maybe? Like, maybe there's something out there, but I sure haven't seen it and am not bothering to look anymore.

    Do you have (occasionally) chickens or other poultry in your house?

    Ours stay outside once they're old enough for now until we get our own place again and we can allow them to free-range more. We actually just had our one pekin in today so I could check him out in the light out of the wind and snow after I'd seen he had blood on his foot and tail. I wasn't...

    Things you wish you could say

    Ooph, do we even want to know what animals these are? First thing that comes to my mind is dogs but it could be something even worse...

    Unsure what these little guys/gals are

    Thank you! I'll take a look at hoover's colored egger pages and see if that helps narrow it down! Which one are you thinking looks like a cockerel? Pics 1 & 2 or picture 3? I ask because I've been suspecting that Poopbird (1 & 2) is a cockerel for a couple of weeks. This is not the best...

    Unsure what these little guys/gals are

    Got some better lighting pictures today of two of them. Please excuse any poop on the first two pictures, that one likes to sleep directly under their two siblings who sleep on the perch and sometimes they get a "shower." The third picture of the other one shows the coloration the other two...

    Louise's wing, one of our turkens

    I wish we could see all this pretty patterning a bit more on her wing! Unfortunately though, when she's settled and it's all tucked in you can't really see it.
