Just curious what other people do?
Personally, to my way of thinking rabbit feed should be fairly appropriate for geese. I won’t have the space for pasture for at least another year now. So my flock is kept in a yard all year long. And I’m limited on the feeds I can get in this area, so I do...
A family member asked if I wanted this rooster. The person who had it, and knew what it was passed away. He large, and is super mellow. I plan to keep him with my BLR Wyandotte’s.
Where do you genetic wise ones get your information from?
I have picked up a little just by looking through threads. But having a book in hand is so useful at times.
I was wondering what the results would be from crossing a sexlinked breed like pilgrim or cotton patch, with a none sexlinked type like brown Chinese?
I ask these because I’m about to get some cotton patch, and I already have some African x Chinese. The Cotton Patch are too closely related to...
I’m new to bloodlines rabbits. I raised registered goats before, so I get the concept. There was someone local who was selling out because they had to move. And we bought 8 beautiful pedigreed mini rex, for a sweet deal. We had planned to raise meat rabbits like standard rex, or silver fox. But...
I got a shipment of chicks on the 11th. And at this point all the other chicks look like they are a week older then all the Wyandotte chicks, if not more. Even the other smaller chicks have more feathers.
I’m curious if this is a breed trait? They are all active, healthy, and I have multiple...
Is anyone else on YouTube?
To be honest, I am hoping to grow my channel Jocelyn Building The Daniels - it’s our family’s homestead vlog, and we plan to build a house debt free. But I’m also watch a fair bit too. So feel free to drop your channels :D for real. I don’t watch tv, I watch...
Before I go spending money I thought I’d ask around... what sort of waterer are good for a flock of 30+ layers that are being kept/moved in electric netting? I’m probably going to have to carry water most of the time.
I saw those buckets with the little spouts (I guess you would call them) I...
Are they still very rare and hard to come by? Is there anyone within a days drive of north east Oklahoma selling them?
I want to raise geese for all the reasons, meat, eggs, to sell, weeding, and so on. I had a mixed flock when I was a teen, and I’ve always missed them. But I’d love to...
Saw a video where a man said he had juvenile turkeys in his garden without damaging the crops. It was a farm tour, and he didn’t have any at that time. He was talking about how effective they were at managing Beatles.
Was that just his experience? Or does it seem likely?
So how long to Cornish crosses need extra heat? And at that point are they still too small for electric poultry netting?
Im getting them the 2nd week of February. I’m in NE Oklahoma.
I haven’t been here in a long, long time. At least 9 years I bet. But I’m back now, refreshing my memory as I wait in anticipation of my first order of chicks! And my very first purchase of meat birds! So excited :ya I’ve missed these emojis by the way. I’ve got 15 broilers, 20 pullets, and 11...
I missed a heat, and now have a litter of mid sized (25-40lb) pups due any day now. I've got the parents, and had/was around the grandparents. The parents are a catahoula/heeler/rat terrier/? And German shepherd/mini Aussie/rat terrier. I can give you detail and more pictures. They are very...
I'm just a few weeks out from my daughters first birthday party. We are having a weenie roast.
We have a lot of dogs, but 3 of them have to stay penned up for their safety. One is my 6yo shepherd mix who minds very well. The other two not so much. My black mouth/heeler cross, and a...
I'm really thinking about getting Turkey's next year. But I really don't know much about them.
My reasons for wanting them are pretty basic I guess. I'd like to have some for meat, and I'd like to raise and sell them, from hatching eggs to grown birds.
I'd love to be about to house them with my...
3-4 weeks ago we had a litter of puppy witch we will be giving away {hint hint to any locals } but one of the little girls was not doing as well as the others and had a red swolen looking bottom. My mother gave her a bit of wormer {going by lbs} She had been pooping, but seemed to be having a...
I'm getting merried next nov to the man of my dreams. A rugged woodsman/animal lover...he is very natural with most animals. But while watching a nature show he said he has always wanted a macaw. I have thought about what it would be like to have one for as long as I can rememver. So it is now...
We trying are focusing on rare heritage live stock on our small homestead. And I think geese will be the next thing we add, I'm trying to deside what breed I should go with, and where to get them from?
I am open to American Buffs, but I like the color combos of the sex linked breeds much...
I'm looking for Golden Sebright egg or live birds in the noth east oklahoma area. Or if someone could point me twards a hatchery, I'll have to work with them to get what I want anyways so hatchery stock will work.
