    Can anyone tell me what size leg bands fit mandarin ducks? And if these wing bands will fit them and still let them fly? http://a248.e.akamai.net/origin-cdn.volusion.com/cqop7.se3q3/v/vspfiles/photos/304-1398-2.gif?1385549921

    The 12 month plan

    Facilities? Nope. The idea of having one month old chicks, are just from the ones that hatched at the beginning of summer. Most of the chickens I've had don't lay through the winter, so I won't be getting eggs from them to eat through winter. Well this was just an idea. A teenager can really...

    The 12 month plan

I have not googled this or tried to find it nor have I ever heard of this. My apologies if any one has already come up with this. Well here we go...

    sebright thread

    Hi all! I'm interested in getting some sebrights. I have a few questions. How small are they? Do they lay everyday? Are they broody? How many breeds are there? If I keep them with dual purpose large fowl, will the large fowl kill them? Are they predator resistant? Are they good for free...

    Egyptian Fayoumis Thread!

    I was thinking of getting some of these in the spring. My question is where did you get them? Because I'm looking into a Meyer hatchery magazine and they looks like bantams and yours look like the size of my mixed breed dual purpose.

    I don't know where you would buy some full grown ones, but if you'd like I can get ahold of some green eggs for you and hatch them.

    I'm not sure where sweet lips is, I am in Lauderdale County. They are just mixed breeds from brown eggs. It was my first time incubating and just found the cheapest, closest eggs I could get.

    Cream Legbars

    Before I invest into some expensive chicks. I have some questions? Are they good at Free Range? Are the roosters aggressive, will they protect the hens? How's their egg production? What do female chicks and male chicks look like? Is it better to order chicks from greenfire, or eggs from eBay...

    What predators can roosters actually kill/fend off?

    I have ducks, why do ducks not have that protective and defensive personality like geese or roosters? Ducks just runaway and hope they're the fastest. Geese only defend themselves and their young. But I've heard about mean roosters all my life, so much that I think they fight for sport.
