    Culling as sex selection

    Supermom

    She only sat and hatched five of these ducklings herself. Four came from a friend's incubator, but since the hatch times overlapped I thought I would see if she would accept them. She's amazingly content with them. Her hatch rate was 100 percent and the friend I shared eggs with to incubate...

    Duck Fashion

    My drake's fall wardrobe is likely complete now. It will be tough for him to beat how he dressed yesterday.

    Intro

    Hi, I'm Jon and returning to chickens after not having any for thirty years. Was not a fan of after school chores and spending spring break cleaning a coop. But now have 9 birds in mobile coops, instead of 2000 back on the family farm. Have a silkie that's been setting for a week and bantam...
