I'm looking for a peking duck in Western Wisconsin/Twin cities area. I had a pair but unfortunately one died :-( I'd like another one so the female can have some company. It doesn't matter if it's male or female. Let me know. Thanks!!!!
This is my first time raising turkeys. I have 5 birds that are 14 weeks old. For a while everything seemed ok, but now Iam having problems. 1 of my turkeys sounds like he's weezing and always has his mouth open. This can't be normal can it? What could it be? Any suggestions?
The other is...
Well, this is my fourth batch of chicks this year. I'm making pretty good progress in restocking my flock. Anyway, I had 9 chicks hatch this time around. One little guys had a tough time though. It took him a lot longer to hatch then the other chicks and he's quite little. I'm thinking this is...
Prepare for a stupid question. I have 5 new hens that I want to introduce to my flock, but am not sure how to go about it. This is my first time getting mature hens. I typically get chicks and raise them, but my friend just gave me some of her laying hens. I'm not really sure when or how to...
Well, I'm missing four hens and a rooster today. It's so disheartening. A neighbor's dog reduced my flock from 30+ to 15 this winter. Finally got that taken care of and haven't missed a bird since, until today that is. I went to feed them this evening and I'm missing 4 hens and a rooster. They...
This is my second hatch. Today is day 21 and 5 of my eggs have hatched. There are 5 other eggs that have pipped. The chicks are very active (although only a few hrs old), and knocking over some of the eggs that have pipped. I know I'm not supposed to open the bator, but this made me nervous with...
My neighbor was plowing his field yesterday and unfortunately killed a pheasant. She didn't want to abandon her nest. He felt so bad, he ran all the eggs over to my house because I've had success this spring with incubating chicken eggs. So I've read that the humidity and temp are the same for...
So I came home from work Friday to see my Speckled Sussex with a little chick. I knew she was sitting on eggs. I checked it out and sure enough, there were 10 eggs left in her nest. I candled them and put them in the incubator right away. This morning one had pipped and now this evening it's...
I'm looking to add to my flock. I live on a small hobby farm in Western Wisconsin and need some more laying hens. If anyone knows of chickens for sale in the area please let me know. I'd prefer rhode island reds, speckled sussex, or ameraucana, but if they lay that's fine with me. These birds...
