8 straight run duckings available, hatched 8.16.23

5 month Blue Andalusian, gentle and inquisitive. Looking for new home, we thought he was a hen, we love him, but can’t keep him due to local ordinances.

I am looking for a dozen the week of 4.2 or 4.9, will you have any available?

I am interested in eggs arriving the week of 4.2, or 4.9, either group would work.

Thank you so much for your response! Do you have both the 1502 and the 1500? Are you pleased with them?

I was wondering if anyone has experience with either of these incubators, and could offer any recommendations or advice. More specifically, I am wondering if the three racks in the sportsmen incubator can be leveled out to hatch a fully loaded incubator, or if the only way use it is to do...

Is it possible your chick got out? Because in that case it would be easy for a hawk to get it. or a lot of other things. Otherwise, I doubt it was a hawk, it just doesn't seem like their hunting method. They like to drop quickly out of the air on unsuspecting prey. I am not going to say...

My turkey Louise is acting lethargic. She is hunched up in the corner of her pen, feathers ruffled. I just noticed diarrhea, but no blood. She was walking fine this morning. But for the past several days I have felt something was not quite right. Any advice???

maybe find out what chemical/chemicals are used to dye them and do a search about the harmful effects if any, of that/those chemicals... maybe you could do a literature search of some databases, perhaps your local library has access to some scientific literature databases...

I don't know about dog poop... But, my chickens free-range down in the barnyard where they scratch through poop... They are attracted to the poo piles, I don't think they are actually eating the poo, I think they are eating little bugs that live in and around the poo... I don't know about...

I am located in Southeastern Wisconsin
