Thank you! I love having a variety. The Runners are crazy little things. Not the smartest, but very cute. I originally got the ducks for entertainment. Then I started selling their eggs. I got used to having them available for people, and now have none. I feed them layer pellets from the feed...

I have 10 females and 2 (maybe 3) males. This is my third winter with them. I used to get about 9 eggs per day, it didn't matter what the season. Toward the end of summer the amount of eggs started to drop off. I thought maybe it was seasonal/molting/etc. Well, it has been about 2 or 3 months...

I just stumbled upon this thread. I ordered a pair of Tufted Romans from Ideal this past spring. While I'm certain I got TR's, I am not convinced that I got a true "pair." I have two...but I think they're both male. Is there any way to tell the difference other than if one lays an egg? I've...

I finally got some pictures off my phone. As of the time I left for work this morning we had 14 babies. 10 are in the brooder (kiddie pool in the guest bedroom!) and 4 are still drying in the bator. We still have 15 eggs that have yet to hatch. Some have pipped, so we'll see what we end up...

I love the pictures of the chickens with the keets! Right now I have a banty hen outside with 5 keets. We also have the bator going with keets hatching as I sit here. I've got a sad story about the eggs in the bator, though. We had 2 guinea hens sitting on a nest. It was about 10:30 pm last...
