Every few days I make a pan of "sweet cornbread" for my girls, with a can of corn in it.. They come a running!! They also get a leaf of good alfalfa or coastal hay, they love both.. They also get their layena crumbles.. Their scratch doesn't have hardly any dry corn, but various bird seeds...

All in all, may I ask.. How much do you think it cost.??? I WANT ONE!! I will have to hire out to gt mine..

I originally had 2 Aracuanas, then I aquired a Brahma rooster, and a Orpington rooster to go with my flock of purebred hens. But all of a sudden, four other roosters have turned up and from where I don't know.. Can I segregate them into another pen by themselves? Each needs it's own pen, or...

Poor Babies..

and will attack people.. Is this true?? I like the fact that I hear they are 'good brooders' and parents. I don't think they are that ugly.. Would a female get along with Pekins? Where do you get them as young ducks? Thanks All..

baby chicks given the chance.. Why does she do this?? Makes me very ANGRY!

Yep. Ever since she's started laying eggs.. WOW, THANKS! for the information.. This is GREAT!

She lays an egg, it looks like its been rolled in fine sand..What gives? Any ideas??

These are my Pekin Ducks, Bella and Edward. He is about 5-months-old, notice the curled tail feathers.. I'm not sure of her age, maybe a year.. Someone brought her to us. She had been abandoned at a park with some geese, and was going crazy.. They brought her to us and she settled right...

My girls lay so many beautiful edible eggs. But, I can't even give them away, NO ONE wants them! And we eat and cook with as many as we can.. Have resorted to scrambling and hard-boiling, and feeding them back to the girls.. What's wrong with people? These are organic, fresh...

About 10 weeks or so is good.. They are so funny.. Mine always sound like they have laryngitis.. ... Hee Hee. HAPPY EASTER..

Honey.. I have no idea what you are talking about. I live in humid wet Texas, Roach country, and I have raised chickens and ducks forever, and I DO NOT have a roach problem! They wouldn't live long enough if I did. Chickens eat ANYTHING that moves too long.. Enjoy your chickens, they even...

Let me pick your brain, and I'm sure I'll get varied answers.. I have 16 hens of various breeds, americanas, bantys, barred-rocks, etc., 1 banty rooster, and 1 white-leghorn rooster (I think that's what he is). I want 1 more rooster. Hamlet, my leghorn, is about 6-mos-old, and a good...
