    I love to watch the Hoodies playing chase over sticks they drag into the pool Here is my Mandarin Hen turning like a Drake. A first for me in 6 yrs of raising them. I guess that's what I get for trading out blood lines. She was fine, laid and hatched a clutch last spring

    no joke my bantams roo's start breeding at about 2 1/2 months and the hens start laying at 3 months. they go broody 2 to 4 times a year. I write everything down on my calendar so I know when they hatch. I don't know if living on the Gulf of Mexico has anything to do with it or not. We didn't...

    I wouldn't feed layena at all except during breeding season. From what I have read to much calcium will shut down the kidneys especially on the drakes that don't need extra calcium. You would be better off feeding Purina Flock Raiser and putting out bowls of oyster shell for the hens. That's my...

    Crossed Fingers for the Baikals and the Magellans this year. Both my Chiloes are nesting. One brooding and one laying now but had to block the one laying out of the nursery to put the Ringed Teal and ducklings. She can fly over the gate to get to her box or pick a new box. The other hen is...

    first hatch today, well out of the nest. 8 Ringed Teal ducklings. Wasn't expecting them until Wednesday. Guess momma fooled me as to when she started setting. How long for Bahama Pintail?? Today is 28 days and they are new ducks for me. I have read 24 to 34 days of what I have researched on them

    Araucana thread anyone?

    need to get that guys ad for Araucana booted off Craigs List. He replied back that he wasn't using my pic and to mind my own business. He is in violation of copywrite laws by stealing the pic and is most likely false advertising in his listing since he is not posting pics of his own Araucana...
