Good to know, I've had WTG from McMurray for a xouplenyears. The first two were the lighter variety withehite in the tail and laid large gre eggs. I bough two more this spring, they also came with the white in the tail and then about 3 weeks later I bought several more but these came in the...
The instructions are a bit hard to follow if you are trying to build a replica of this coop because of the storytelling. Nothing wrong with it, it's just not easy if you're interested in clear outlined instruction. I couldn't get through the whole article. Sorry
Are you still looking? I have some that are 5-6 weeks old but I'm waiting until they get a little older to identify my 2 roos in the flock before selling any hens. I don't manually sex my birds as it risks injury. I could probably sell you 2-3 hens. Central NJ
Hard one, probably barred rock, bielefelder, or New Hampshire, leaning towards bielefelders. I love my colorful eggs but for sustainability I'd have to say these 3.
Thanks, they have been penned next to one another for aboute a month and alternate free ranging where they can closer/across the fence. I love the idea of mixing all the girls first and easing the boys in with them, Thank you!
Hi all, I have adult pekins and Appleyards(2 drakes and 3 ducks) and 15 adolescents/young adults (17weeks old, 9 girls and 6 boys ). The younger ones are displaying lots of mating behavior, including the ladies some of whom squat down for the boys without always even being asked. I have the 2...

OMGoodness! I hadn't even thought about the fact that I'll likely have more gander goslings, but the 2nd generation will largely be for consumption/sale so a little less of a problem but I definitely don't need or want 40 geese ( 3 of the ones I have already were sent by accident). Now that I...
Sorry for the long post but we are newbies and really need advice. We have 3 male and 7 females in our Embden and Toulouse free range flock, all under 1yr old. We have 1 very broody Embden goose that stays on her nest, and at least two others, 1 Toulouse and 1 other Embden, that sit often on 3...
I have 3 male and 7 females in our Embden and Touluse flock. Organic grain when pasture is not enough but otherwise they jusy get grass. We have 1 very broody embden goose that stays on her nest, and at least two others, 1 Toulouse and 1 other Embden, that sit often on 3 of the 4 nests in their...
