Ivan is alive and well. We found another duckling with a leg issue as a companion. Her leg healed, but they are thick as thieves. Ivan doesn't get around as much as the other duck, but he will hop around a small area. He swims wonderfully! I will try to post a pic.
ETS: Ivan never did walk on...
It wasn't that long ago that I found myself with an abundance of Delaware hens with no rooster. (Rest in Peace, Florence)
I tried to locate a Delaware cockerel locally, to no avail. So in lieu of a cockerel, I bought hatching eggs from a breeder in NC. Now I have an abundance of cockerels...
22 Welsummer, 21 Delaware, 20 Dominique, 7 Easter egger, 3 polish, 3 black copper marans, 2 cuckoo marans, 2 olive egger, 2 cochin, 1 jersey giant, 6 barnyard mixes
89+??
I'll edit it later once everyone is caught up with the correct tally. I am certain that by the time I post this, there will...
He absolutely was a rooster! He grew into a beautiful porcelain d'uccle rooster. Sadly, one of our rescue mastiffs snapped one day and Mr. Frizz met his demise. That dog never bothered the chickens before, so we were surprised that he attacked him. The dog now lives at another foster home...
Hi Karl!
I know you will get so many different answers as to what breed is best. I have many breeds, but the best layers I have are my Delawares. They are excellent layers of large to extra large eggs and they have a very friendly disposition. I love my Easter egger's eggs because the shell...
I thought I was replying to a post....but alas, no. Please disregard unless you have a Delaware rooster that needs a new home. :))
Happy weekend, Okies!
I just searched in a hurry for a Delaware rooster...(I should have read on in case you've found him a home.)
Have you found him a home yet? I lost my rooster and his ladies are lonely.
I will try that. She is anything but tame, especially setting. She puffs up and hisses, but stays put. I managed to spray some Underwood horse medicine on it, as that's the only thing I had that sprays. Thank you!
So if it's an open hole, how will it heal? The skin is gone and I see no meat...
It's day 26 on a nest for one of my guinea hens. Her back was raw a few days ago and now it appears to be a large hole the size of a silver dollar. It's black in color. What can I try to put on her? She nested outside of the guinea house. I am not sure if something got ahold of her or if she has...
Thank you! I am so glad that you had no problems!
I am not one to be spoon fed. I like to know as much as I can on both sides. One of my sons found some birds that are hard to find on efowl.com. Naturally, I wanted to check around before he spent his money. I am letting him make the decision...
So? How were the chicks? I have read a lot of comments about efowl.com, but very little follow up.
The worst I have read is "they steal other's pictures" and they quote different shipping dates.
I would like to hear more about the chicks that are ordered. What I have read, from people that...
