    Anybody Have a Good All-Flock Recipe for a Feed Mill?

    Hi all! We've been getting feed at our local mill, but our birds aren't really thriving on it like they were on their fancy expensive stuff (Scratch & Peck). The mill is willing to blend a custom feed for us - does anyone happen to have a full recipe with ingredient amounts/ratios? We have...

    Day Old Chick with Legs Straight Back & Neck Arched Backwards

    Over the weekend, 5 Langshan chicks hatched from a place called Spectrum Poultry. The last 3 came out with issues and are in my hospital brooder - one has wry neck, one didn’t fully absorb its yolk and is generally weak, and this third one I had to help because it was shrink wrapped. The other...

    ISO Show Quality Bourbon Red, Narragansett, Or Standard Bronze Turkey Hatching Eggs (Or Live Birds in NE Wisconsin)

    Hi all! I'm hoping to find show quality Bourbon Red, Narragansett, or Standard Bronze turkeys. Why those breeds? Because I think they're pretty and might be able to camouflage better than some of the others! I live about a half hour south of Green Bay and would be happy to drive up to an hour...

    ISO - Show Quality Autosexing Welsummer & Cream or Opal Legbar Hatching Eggs or Chicks

    Hi all! I'm hoping to start a new OE project and am looking for dark speckled egg-laying Welsummers and Legbars that have more blue than green tone. I hear the Rees line might have stronger blue? I read that somewhere but can't remember where haha. I know that most Welsummers have lost their...

    Hi all! I'm hoping to expand my flock in the spring and thought I'd try here instead of the big hatcheries :) I live in Wisconsin near Green Bay and would prefer to pick up babies after the heartache of a bad shipment last year. Looking for: Ancona ducklings - 1 chocolate drake & 5 unrelated...

    Keeping Separate Breeding Groups

    Random dumb question of the day: how do those of you who keep & hatch multiple breeds keep them separate for breeding season and about how long do you do that? We have Pilgrims now and realllllly want Romans and/or Sebastopols. Since all these breeds are so rare, we’re thinking maybe we’ll...

    ISO Female Classic or Tufted Roman Goslings

    I had a Classic Roman and a couple Pilgrims on order through a hatchery but panicked and canceled after a bad bad bad experience with USPS sending chicks a day late, along with multiple late/squished shipments of bugs. I found local Pilgrims and picked up an adorable pair of baby girls, but I...

    Entertainment for Goslings

    Whoops, I posted my ISO in the wrong forum but it won't let me delete, so I'm repurposing to ask a question haha - what does everyone use to entertain bored goslings? They hatched this week and it's too cold to let them outside for too long, and the one won't stop picking at the other's back fuzz.

    ISO Female Chicks in NE Wisconsin

    Hi all! I knew as I was ordering mail-order chicks that it was a bad idea since deliveries have been so messed up lately, but I took a chance because I only wanted 6 guaranteed females of certain breeds. They showed up yesterday, a day late and chilled, and I think only two will make it, if I’m...
