Looking for some fertile duck eggs or, preferably, ducklings. Can be mixed-breed and I don't care what color they are. I would prefer someone in NC that can ship or that I can pick up from (if you are within reasonable distance). Thanks! =)
Happy Holidays!
I have 11 turken (Naked Neck) chicks that need new homes. They are super friendly (I've been handling them a lot) and will make good "pet" chickens. These are a large but docile breed, great layers or meat birds.
They are 1 - 3 days old, started on medicated crumble and are all doing well...
I have 10 Turken/Naked Neck chicks. They are started on medicated crumbles and are all doing well. Three are yellow, seven are black.
$5 each or take all of them for $40. PICK UP ONLY (though I am happy to meet you within a reasonable distance).
Do NOT hit "Buy it now". Please just PM...
I mistook this little guy for a guinea last night...but once I got it out of the incubator I realized that wasn't the case! It's super cute...but I have no idea what it is! It came from a round-ish white medium egg.
I have a big trip coming up next week, I will be away for 5 days (leaving Thursday morning, returning Monday evening) and my hatch/lockdown dates fall right in the middle of it. What do I do?
I have turkey eggs due for hatch on Thursday, and Lockdown for guinea and chicken eggs are set to start...
I have a two-week old semi-crippled peachick. The bird was hatched by a friend (a long-time breeder of very healthy, gorgeous peas and other fowl) who gave it to me because he just doesn't have the time to work with it. He didn't think the chick would survive, but it's quite healthy at 2 weeks...
Taking these with my phone's camera through the incubator window. I'll update the thread with new pics when I take them.
Porcelain d'Uccle, wandering and peeping like crazy. Soon to be joined by two other porcelains and some RIRs that are pipping. Yay, I did it!
#2 Rhode Island...
It was a nice surprise to get up this morning and see one of my eggs pipped...but now I'm a little unsure. The chick has pecked a large enough hole that I can see movement in the egg and if I talk to it (yes, I talk to my incubator...) it peeps like crazy, but it hasn't made any progress at all...
Venting because I'm so fustrated...I've lost a bunch of my flock, including my gorgeous little buff silkies (they were NICE ones, too!) and a beautiful porcelain roo that I was quite fond of - not to mention a bunch of my other birds. I KNOW it's a raccoon and a large opossum doing it but every...
Right now we have chickens and peafowl but I'm interested in maybe getting a few quail. I'm a new "registered" member, but I frequent this forum quite a bit and have for some time because it's such a great resource!
One thing I do want to know though, that I haven't seen any topics...
I've never owned peafowl but I'm really interested in getting one (or potentially a "few") in the near future but I have a lot of questions! Is it better to buy an egg (understand that I have raised Silkies...but never from eggs and I do not have an incubator) and hope that it hatches or buy a...
