Sweet!!! Thank you for your response here, sharing your personal experience. I’m excited! 🤩 Supposing that the hen decides to stay sitting, that is. She hasn’t made her mind up yet. 🙄😆
Hence why her babies are made of golf balls for now. 😏
That’s true! I think that might cause issues, actually. If they were only raising ducklings, I think it would be fine. But mixed? Probably not. And as I’m thinking of it, ducklings grow so much faster than chicks or keets that they might actually trample their nest mates… glad you mentioned...
I have a Dominique hen who’s wanting to hatch out some eggs. I don’t need any more chickens right now (except for liege fighters), but I could definitely use some friendlier Guinea keets! Could she sit on them and hatch them? I’m aware the incubation time is a bit longer than it is for chickens...
I got these from a new friend, who had more roosters than she needed. I’ve been told they’re barnyard mixes. Any idea what they might be mixed with?
Especially the black one… He’s so very friendly and docile, I’m hoping he’s a good breed.
I posted in the “buy sell trade” section, but after no takers for a couple of weeks, was told to try posting my birds for sale on here. You can always try it and see. I think it’s a good idea, because people have to be decently close to be able to pick up live birds anyway.
I am moving to Dayton, and I won’t be able to bring my chickens with me. I must either sell them, or eat them. I’ve got 4 1/2 weeks (until October 14) to re-home most of them, before I’ll have to process them for meat. I’d really rather see them go to a good home since most of them are still so...
