Hi I am in Arkansas near MO stateline and am looking for somewhere in either state to buy Nigerian Dwarf goats. I want babies and I am open to either does or wethers. Thanks.
Ok so first I wanted chickens LOL, so we hatched chicks in February and are keeping all the hens. Now I really want 2 ducks too. Problem is this. When I called our city to ask if it is okay for chickens they said there is no ordinance against them but if they are loud such as roosters and...
Here are a few of the chicks that hatched. We lost one a couple hours ago It seemed fine and then when checked on them an hour later it had just died. It was one of the lavender americaunas so I am soo disappointed.
Yay my eggs went in lockdown today. I am so excited. I think I will go crazy for the next 3 days. I keep walking by the incubator and looking to see if they are moving yet or peeping. Yessss I know it is early lol. Patience is not one of my virtues.
I am so excited. I just set 10 golden comets, 12 silkies, and 6 possible lavender ameraucana easter eggers. I set more than I want to keep as I have no idea how many roosters I will end up or what my hatch rate will be considering it's my first hatch. I do have someone who wants my extras...
Post office just called saying I have several packages there so I am thinking all the eggs I ordered are there. Hubby is on his way to pick them up. Incubator has been holding steady at 99.5-100 so I am thinking tonight after the eggs rest for a bit I will be setting my first hatch!!
Ok so they aren't in the best of shape and we are going to have to weatherproof them by putting up plywood and also a few other alterations. I had put an ad in our local newspaper wanting to buy a chicken coop and a guy called today and said he has 2 that he used for quails that I can have for...
Well I decided a cpl weeks ago I want chickens. Only 4 or 5 egg layers. I then scoured the internet for info, found this forum. And now what have I done? I have silkie eggs coming from Magikchick, Possible lavender ameraucana eggs from chickenstalker, and I bought some golden comet eggs off...
Ok so I have eggs on the way. Will receive them some time next week and later in the week will put them in the incubator. I am a first time chicken owner LOL so can anyone let me know the basics of what I need? I will be using a 55 gallon rubbermaid bin as a brooder and I know to get a heat...
We have an old barn in back yard,just used for a bit of storage but it has holes all in it. Hubby is going to partition off the part from the door on the right over to make a chicken coop. He is planning on putting plywood over the sides inside because of all the big cracks. He then is going...
Hello all! I live in Northern Arkansas, moved out here from near Memphis, TN a year and a half ago and love the country life. Hubby and I have been buying our eggs from a guy we met at bingo for the past year and in the past week I have decided I want to have my own chickens and eggs. Not a...
