Hi there fellow duck owners :) My name is Michelle and I live in Ontario, Canada. My family and I are new to the feathered pet world as of this year and though we are LOVING it, I am having some anxiety about surviving the winter! We have 19 chickens, and 2 ducks; 1 pekin, Napoleon (though we...
Wowsers! That is horrible. Thank you VERY much for letting us know about them. I personally do NOT want to support people like that. Isn't the reason so many of us do this is to feel good about the way our food sources (eggs and or chicken as meat) are cared for while they are alive...
AS a representative of all the amazing people in Ontario, to all of the amazing people in Quebec, our hearts bleed for your loss, and your shock and disappointment for having something so horrible happen so close to where you live. This is a terrible thing that just shouldn't happen, and where...
WElcome Nicky! I am in Barrie :) We should compare coop notes one day, seems hard to find people who live in this area to get site specific advice from. I am getting my first batch of chicks (ever!) in just over 3 weeks!!
TSC will have Barred plymouth rocks too. If you don't find whot you want at the local fur and feather show, if you are willing to go over your drive of 1 hr ( If you are like me when you get your mind set on something, your initial boundries of how far you are willing to travel sometimes get...
That is AWSOME! WE are actually going to have two ducks (one Pekin, one Rouen) as park of our little flock. I am VERY excited about both, but even moreso about the ducks :) You'll have to let me know how the Cayugas are for you!
Sorry to hear about your new neighbours :(. As for the laws, sorry to be redundant here, but I am in a similar predicament, and the understand I have on my property is it is likely not a problem, seeing as we are rural, but at the end of the day, the key is not to get any complaints, then...
I don't know if this will be of any use, but we have two local feed stores in my area and they both carry Masterfeeds line that has organic starter, grower and layer. I have no idea if Masterfeeds delivers to homes or not, but I thought I'd throw it out there!
I might be interested in getting a couple of your EEs from you. I will be heading Belleville way sometime mid to end of week of April 22. Are you interested in selling any at that time?
Bummer! Well, I will post something about them after I get the chicks, and at least let you know if they are a good farm to source from perhaps at a later date. Good luck with everything, if I see anything else in my travels I will let you know!
