My guess would be on the drowned ducklings that they were on the momma's back and then jumped into ice cream bucket. I would try a 5 gallon bucket for the momma, its a long reach but if its full she'll be able to reach it. As far as wing clipping, I have found if I don't clip wings they roost on...

Did you get them from McMurray? I got some from them at the end of April, and they aren't "large" like catalog says they are. Mine are black as well. I spoke to a man at the county fair who has raised several of McMurray's medeterian breeds and said the Anacona layed more and larger eggs on less...

I haven't had much incubator experience but since no one had responded I thought I would at least give my opinion. I would think as soon as they are moving around you could put them under a heat lamp in a brooder type enclosure. I wouldn't really think opening the incubator for a very short...

I live in Clinton TN. I see no one has posted here recently, but I wanted to make my presents known anyway. I'm looking for some hatching eggs right now if anyone has any locally I would really appreciate a responce!

I've got a total of broody 4 hens right now and 2 are just sitting on golf balls. Im not really intersted in crossbred birds, gaming breeds or cochins but just about anything else would be ok. Duck, guinea, phesant, peacock or even quail eggs would be ok too. Im not really interested in...

if you have a rooster and the chicks would be pure give them to someone with 3 broody hens and not a lot of desire for more of the same kind of chickens;)

I think Back to the Future has a scene where Marty stashes the Delorian in a barn with chickens
