    Muscovies and foie gras- an experiment

    Yes! I have them penned and ill take a photo do you can see. I had a little issue getting them to eat the corn, so i had to soak and grind it! Then added some home rendered lard.

    The woman we got our muscovies from started with two and a year later had 58!! We have four females and will keep two drakes. How many are the most that have hatched from one hen in a clutch in your experience? What is average? How much do you sell your ducklings for? (If you do?)

    How long for supplemental light to work

    Lazy gardener, I agree with you! A timer would be better (and less work for me!!). Hopefully we can find it soon! I also agree that i shouldnt have to defend myself. i am surprised to see the the "no supplemental light" chicken keepers continue to hop on threads like mine, clearly in favor of...

    How long for supplemental light to work

    No, im not really that organized and cant find my timer, so i just turned on and off as i remembered. We just moved and i cant find all my stuff. Anyway, they aren't ALL laying, only two, so this is just the beginning. Im guessing that the ones in molt will have to finish and may yet be...

    How long for supplemental light to work

    I have black australorps, which aren't supposed to break for winter, but alas they are, in their first year!! Some are even molting. I have given them a break for over a month and now am adding light. I don't remember how long it takes to get them going again. Anyone know?

    Do you lock up your chickens at night if they are surrounded by an electric poultry fence?

    So, i have a coop with an electric poultry fence around it. Its getting hot at night and they dont all seem to want to go in. Do you lock up your chicken at night if they are protected by an electric fence? Or do you let them roost on top or outside? We do have predators, but we also have a dog...

    Quail ill please look and comment

    So, the quail is totally normal besides this swelling. No discharge, eating and drinking as before. Maybe breathing through their mouths a bit. We have them separated and no other signs of outbreak in the remaining quail. How long would we need to wait to see if the others will be sick...
