My flock is not NPIP yet - but they are WI Tested Flock # WT-1315
I have Salmon Faverolles - both bantam & large fowl.
They are my favorite breed.

Autumn 123 - if you are using the deep litter method you should NOT be using DE! It dries out the moisture needed for the composting reaction.

I live in WI and the winters get extremely cold. I use the heated water base & a metal double-wall waterer. I've never had any trouble with that - other than having to clean it daily (yep - I have 2 that I switch out every other day).
My question is this - you know that space between the...
I hope it's not too late to get in here (and still get some advice)
I just found these guys ALL over everywhere so I moved the grain into a spare bedroom (because I thought it was because of the humid basement) now they are all over in there.
And they are crawling on me - I am really creeped...
I keep my rare bantams in my basement (each pair in a 30x36 kennel) - I had 2 dehumidifiers but they stopped "working" (they are running - but not pulling water out of the air anymore?) Anyway - I've noticed some white mold growing on the poops in the trays under each kennel (I clean them every...
I did the same thing with Blue Kote - warm water did wash most of it off the fleshy parts (feathers are still purple) - now I have one chick in ICU - the pasty butt caused inflamed tissue and she can't pass her poo properly - what do I do for that (if she makes it through the night (I force...
So... talking about the start up costs. I invested my inheritance into my "business" how much of the little stuff can I write off? Or does it ALL have to be added together & depreciated? One example - the plastic feed & water er's - individually they are $3 - totally they were $60 - is there...
My Rouens have been laying for some time now (I wish I had a green egg layer) anyway - I heard they tend to crush the eggs if allowed to hatch their own.
So I incubated - I now have 3 young ducks running around wow do they grow fast!
My question is this - when will I know the sex - they...
I have found a new source for greens (for the breeding "crew" in my indoor kennels) - https://lorimelde.myitworks.com/Shop/Product/475
It can be put into their feed or water (if water - stir once daily because it settles to the bottom).
Since you've decided that you would ship - I live in WI - 54656 (for shipping calculation). I am looking for 2 Mille Fluer D'uccle hens. Can you please let me know how much it would cost?
I would highly suggest Favorelles (I currently have Salmon) - but - since I'm a very small (just gettting started breeder) I already have "backorders" for them.
They are a beautiful docile bantom breed which are also listed on the (ALBC) American Livestock Breeds Conservancy - as a...
What ever happened to your chicken? What is ACV? I had two that were doing that same thing - first the sneezing - then the gasping - one became paralyzed in one leg and then got sour crop - I had to cull her. I tried Duramycin 10 for 10 days with them both (no improvement). The other is...
