    What type of fencing do you rural folk use?

    I'm not new to rural living, but I am new to neighbors who let their dogs roam. I have at least 3 neighbors where I currently live on several acres who let their large dogs roam free. Talking to them doesn't work and I'd rather not deal with the headache and drama of either shooting their dogs...

    Anyone know where to get chickens butchered near St. Charles/St. Louis MO?

    My husband is considering taking a job in Missouri, but we are concerned about finding a place to butcher our chickens out there. We have been raising all our own chickens for several years and don't want to give that up since food shortages seem to be in the US's future. We don't really have...

    Anyone know where to have chickens processed around Circleville or Chillicothe Ohio?

    So, I have been working on convincing my husband to let me raise chickens for years. We have ducks, but those are pets not food. Now that we live in the country the only thing keeping me back from getting chickens is knowing where to get them processed and how much it costs. I know we...

    Anyone know where you can buy female ancona or magpie ducklings?

    I am planning on adding a couple ducks to my flock and would love to add a magpie and ancona but I can't seem to find anywhere online to order sexed ducklings. I already have four females so I don't really want any frames for the obvious reason that I don't want twenty new birds in a year...

    Anyone ever ordered ducklings from Meyer Hatchery?

    I'm in Ohio and thought Meyer Hatchery was in Ohio, but I guess not. The ducklings I ordered are being shipped from California, so I'm actually feeling really nervous about them being in a truck for so long. Especially driving across california, arizona, and new mexico in summer weather...

    How do you put electric wire on a dog kennel?

    I'm a little nervous about predators going after my ducks when they are old enough to be outside. I know you can bury hardwire in the ground around the pen. Do you have it horizontal or vertical though? And how do you keep a determined smaller hunter out of the kennel day or night when there...

    Anyone else love the book Enslaved by Ducks?

    I love the book Enslaved by Ducks. It had me and my husband laughing ourselves silly. We could relate in so many ways to the experiences the author had. Anyone read it and know any other good books along the same lines as it?

    I'm new on here, so what's everyone's favorite things about raising ducks and/or chickens?

    I have been visiting this site for ages and decided that I'd finally just join. I'm getting my first batch of ducklings since moving out in the begining of July and am really looking forward to having ducks in my yard. The pest and weed control they give is going to be great. I grew up with...
