Jumbo pekin ducklings are set to hatch in a few days. $8 each or 15 for $100.
Excellent meat and egg ducks. We range ours without issue, and they actually do really well with foraging. Hatches now will be ready for early summer butcher.
Near Milesburg, PA.
Will also soon have muscovy ducklings...
$20 per egg. Flock has 1 white gander and 1 splash gander over 1 saddleback goose, 1 buff splash goose and 3 white geese. They are laying now. Not presale.
Located in Julian, PA (Centre County). $100 or possibly barter (grain or a good grass hay especially). She's a six month old cream English Angora doe. She is not show quality, doesn't have the body type, but she would make an excellent homestead and/or wooler doe. She plucks very easily...
~~Big ol' box of soap. This is a mix of random body/hand safe soaps that are random scents, no labels, unwrapped. May contain colorants, essential oils, fragrance oils and natural additives (I KNOW there is some soap with poppy seeds for mild exfoliation). These are mostly bars from the molds...
No, we're not swapping the actual children here! This is going to be like a monthly swap.... You sign up one time for each child. You can include grandchildren, neighbor kids, neices/nephews, etc, but please follow the rules and remember that YOU are responsible to get the package(s) shipped to...
What Ya Got Swap is for people that have items other than hatching eggs that would like to join into the fun of a swap, however hatching eggs are also welcome in this swap. Many BYC members make very nice items such as homemade soaps, jellies & jams, candies, chicken saddles, egg carton labels...
So, for an 8'x10' coop, 4' tall, George wants to have framing every 16". That adds $52 to final cost, plus more time. We don't have an excess of either, time nor money. Is it really necessary to frame a coop every 16"?! What would be recommended?
So, I'm debating on getting one, but it looks like their customer service sucks and they often hold funds for up to 90 days! Does anyone use it on a small scale and have any input? I'm debating if it wouldn't just be safer and easier to just use paypal's credit card services instead.
Some of these are obvious to me, but some I'm not so sure about. It's been a few years since I've had to sex quail, especially juvies! Each pic is a different quail, one pic per quail, six quail total.
Does anyone want to play "guess the sex"?! The first is an obvious roo, the rest, I'm not sure about. They are in order, two pictures per bird, seven birds total. First one is a top view of the comb, the second one is the profile view. Any help would be appreciated. There's one that looks more...
So, reading about sick birds being shipped, moving and increasing our breeding flock by quite a bit has me wanting to vaccinate everybody. Some of my birds are like family, and I want the best protection possible for everyone. Now, what kinds of things should I vaccinate for? I'm thinking fowl...
Ok, so someone ran over one of the wild squirrels here awhile back. It does fine, I put extra feed out for it and when it's trying to cross the driveway and can't get through the chickens, I typically eithershoo the birds away or scoop it up and take it to the tree its heading for. Here's the...
So, my flock was free-ranged and fed limited feed and have been laying for awhile. I just weighed them between 9-11lbs for the hennies and 12lbs for the roo. One of the hatcheries has adult specs on cornish cross, but they say hennies get to 6lbs and roos to 10lbs. Did I not limit feed enough? I...
Okay, so about two weeks ago, a hen got a foamy eye, which, I had assumed was something in the eye. She's better now, but last night my turkey tom was acting weird. We discovered cateracts on both eyes. He seemed otherwise healthy. Today his eye is foamy. The only thing I can find is coryza, but...
My flock free-ranges with supplemental feed of brewery grain and mash (mash especially for the winter, a 20% protein). All summer, everyone grew well and packed on the pounds. The pekins never really ate supplemental feed, only once in awhile, they'd come in to hog down feed. This morning, I...
