It is perfectly legal for me to have whatever kind of poultry/animals I want with my zoning. We also have perimeter fencing around our entire property. Our birds range freely within our fencing, we have ducks, geese, guineas, and chickens.

A lady down the road from me saw a Boer doeling standing next to the highway. She brought it home, and left me a note to call her about a goat. I don't have a place to quarantine a goat, so I brought her hay, minerals, feed, and some probios. She is willing to hold onto it until we find the...
I put 11 Muscovy eggs in my incubator on November 28th. 1 died sometime after the 7th day, one more died sometime after the 25th day. I candled them at 25 days only because I thought I possibly had some Khaki Campbell eggs too, but I didn't. My temp has been VERY consistent, but my humidity has...
I am thinking of getting a couple of goats. Which breed is friendlier. I was thinking of getting wethers. I did want milk goats and was leaning towards Nigis, but I think I need to start out with pets first. DH is worried about more time commitment than I already have with our other pets and my...
Someone on the duck section suggested posting this here. I went out to take care of everyone and I noticed one of my ducks sitting down with her head pointed straight down with her bill on the ground. I went towards her and she waddled away, then she tucked her neck into her body with just her...

My daughter and I picked up our new geese today. They two breeding pairs of almost full blood Pilgrims. Of course it had to be rainy and yucky outside, everything is all mud today, although the ducks love having the big puddles in their pen. We named the geese Jack and Jill, and Pebbles and Bam...
I have searched the forum and haven't found any posts that answer my questions. My 4 Khaki Campbells are 10 months old. They have been in a 10x20 dog kennel (covered with netting) with a good sized pool and an attached coop since they were 3 weeks old before that they were in the house. I have...
I am wondering if anyone would see a benefit to one or the other. I have found a person locally that would have Pilgrim/Toulouse mix goslings available in probably just over a month. He said they just started laying. I could even get a couple of pairs of adults from him right now, although I was...
I have a hen that had some feathers missing on her back. It was nothing bad, but her skin was exposed. My rooster mounted her, and cut her skin with his spur. There is about a 2 inch by 3 inch part of her skin has peeled away and bunched up exposing her muscles. It looks like she was skinned...
I have 10 guinea keets available. They are about 3 weeks old now. I have 5-6 colors available within the 10. I am in South Carolina, just south of Charlotte, NC.
I have 5 chicks that hatched on 9-11-08 available. The mothers are either buff orpington, silver laced wyandotte, or black australorps, and the dads are barred rock cross. Two are mostly white with black. One looks barred rock, one looks buff, and the last one is mostly black with some white. I...
I have a hen that has been broody for a couple of months. We finally left some eggs under her for her to hatch on August 23rd so they would be due on Saturday. Well, I went out tonight to feed and water everyone and noticed a baby sticking out. We carefully checked underneath her and there were...
Is there anything that is recommended to not be fed to a pig? I can't seem to find a do not feed list anywhere. We just got 3 babies on Sunday. Pork, Beans, and Bacon, named by my 7 year old.
I have 3 female and 1 male (at least that is what I ordered) Khaki Campbell ducklings that are now 5 weeks old. They moved outside on Saturday. They have a 10x20 grass lined run complete with pool and a spacious coop. I have indoor and outdoor feeders and waterers. The problem is, one of them...
I have 4 khaki campbells ducklings that are 3 weeks old as of yesterday. One of them has this fascination with plucking the new feathers coming in on the other 3 and then eating them. It is plucking the whole quill part and all and since they are first coming in, there is some blood and loud...
I got my new babies today from Ideal. 4 Khaki Campbells and 6 Dutch Bantams.

My husband already showed them off at the post office when he picked them up and at my daughter's afterschool program when he picked...
I just went to close up my guineas for the night and one was making a funny almost sneezing noise after she jumped up on the perch. She didn't really resist being picked up and didn't fight when I put her in the dog crate, she just layed down. She seems to be breathing hard and you can almost...
