    Cream Legbar- Are these legit?

    I want to work with cream legbars. I have the older girls I’ve attached photos of. And my younger crew featuring 3 roosters too. I posted them to a Cream Legbar fb group & am being told that most are not Legbars at all. Yet all were sold as Legbars. Granted I get it, hatcheries screw up. But I...

    American Bresse (White)

    We got into the Bresse breed last year. Ended up with only 4 hens & kept 1 of the roosters that seemed best. Fast forward to this year. The rooster has become an aggressive jerk; for no reason. Husband is the only one who can get him. I can enter the pen but I need a stick. Today he attacked...

    Crested Ducks- No Eggs…confused

    We have a breeding trio (m, 2 f). they were laying until fall. They have not started back. Yet all my others have started back. Even my call ducks. I noticed it seemed like they started their molt late. (Like Jan/Feb.) Are they notorious for being late? I’m confused as to why they’re not...

    Indian Runner Ducks

    We raise IDR. In fact they’re the one duck we have stuck with since the beginning. Lol But I was wondering if there was a SOP for them? A fb group to post & chat with breeding about?? Also coloring genetics & sizes.

    Need Feeding Help

So we have started feeding TM NatureCrest Chick starter (18%) and free feed oyster. But since they make such...

    Embden Geese- Need some help/advice, please!

    We got 2 Embden Geese last year. From what I can tell we got a male & female due to coloring & research on that. They're names are Twiggy (m) & Piney (f). When they were younger they wanted to be with us, even jumped out of the fencing to come find me across the yard when they were like 2-3wks...

    Looking into Poultry nutrition- Fertrell Questions

    Backstory: We are starting to breed more, focusing on Bresse & Leghorn atm. (Maybe toward SOP one day.) While we keep our egg flock on TM NatureCrest for the no soy/corn/gmo recipe. I have wondered if that’s enough for them. At 16.5% protein that’s weak. 18% for chick starter isn’t the...
