Hello all you big bird lovers :) One of the most asked questions we receive is about fencing for ostriches. So I thought I'd write a brief overview of my experience with various types of fence. 1) Barbed Wire: This is a HUGE "no no". Read the bit about field fence. Ostriches rub against...

A Short Overview Greetings BYC Community :) A lot of you guys know us because of our Blue/Black Cross Ostriches. We took the year off to reorganize our breeding operations. And while we were at it, we went ahead and got involved with Blue Tilapia. So before we get to pricing, I want to...

Ok so here's the story. In May, my wife was diagnosed with this medical condition called "Farmer's Lung". Here's a link so that you can read about it: http://www.lung.org/lung-disease/hypersensitivity-pneumonitis/ In short if she is exposed to this mold/fungus that occurs naturally in bird...

*****All Sold***** Good Morning! We have decided to sell our pheasant breeding stock so that we have the time to concentrate on our ever expanding ostrich operation. This stock was originally acquired from three different farms across the US to ensure no mixed lines. We are open to all...

It's Ostrich season again! Our males are booming, our hens are fluttering, and eggs are in the incubators! We specialize in blue-black crosses. The end result is roosters which average 6.5 - 7 feet, hens which lay 70+ eggs per season, and dispositions that can be considered mild when...

Ok, I've got 5 unrelated pairs of Midget White Turkeys. This is their first laying season so I've been way patient. The first three rounds of eggs were pretty good. I got an 80% hatch rate out of them. The poults went out of here at 25.00 each faster than I could take the local ads down...

Ok guys, we all have the challenge associated with large eggs whether they are Emu or Ostrich. For new units we ostrich guys have limited choices: 9 eggs in a 700.00 GQF Sportsman, 8k USD to Natureform for a 50 egg capacity, deal direct with China a la Alibaba (not recommended), CraigsList...

Does anyone here have any experience with both Natureform and Hatchrite incubators? We have 2 NOM-45's for incubation and 2 Sportsmans for Hatching and the set up seems to work well. We incubate our ostrich eggs on their sides in trays we created specifically for ostrich. The dollies in our...

So yesterday was one of those Saturdays EVERY backyard and commercial farmer/rancher hates... Intermittent thunderstorms... all day... YUCK. Nothing gets done outside. It turns into an inside job day all day long and I hate those days. One of the reasons I really hate those days is because we...

Hello All, GRRRRRR bad day today. One of my prized Mearns Quail females passed last night. She was getting up there in age, but we were hoping for 1 or 2 more years from her. And it's TOTALLY messed up my breeding plans for this year. Sucks. She was a very very sweet and productive hen...

About 2 years ago, my wife and I decided to make the jump from our house in the city to a farm in rural Alabama. We acquired a small flock of ostriches (11) with the place. The first morning I was up at the crack of dawn, heading for the feed shed. I pulled out my piece of paper with the...
