Anyone know a good place to get, or happen to breed Muscovy ducks? I am looking specifically for black and blue muscovies. Not pied. Very minimal white. Also I do not want heavy caruncle genetics. I want to get them this year with my chicks I plan to get sometime spring/summer.

I am planning to build a 36'x36' pen for goats, and a second for sheep. How many animals could I keep in there with them staying happy and content. I have seen numbers anywhere from 15sqft to 50sqft. They will have a 12'x10' foot barn area, and then a 12'x16' covered area to relax under. I plan...

I am looking to trade my 4 bantam chicks for at least two silkie chicks. They appear to be three old english game, and one white cochin. I will also sell them for 2.50 each. They are 5 weeks old. I am located in Fort Worth Texas and I can drive within 30 minutes to meet you. =)
These guys are from tractor supply, and they told me they get their chicks from privett hatchery. The hatcheries site is not available at the moment so I have no idea what breeds they carry. These are all from the bantam bin.
