I ordered
and Runner ducks as well as Dewlap Toulouse. All arrived on the expected date and were healthy birds. I'm selling some now because I have too many, but they are great birds!
Sexed pair of Exhibition Dewlap Toulouse geese from Holderread Waterfowl. Just over a year old. Also three show quality Saxony drakes from holderead as well, 25 each. I just have too many waterfowl. In central New Jersey. More pictures available.
Ours were all healthy beautiful birds and hove done very well. They have excellent customer service though during the busy season will give you short answers...
I have a buckeye hen that came with a group of chicks of different breeds. She is totally different personality. Always under my feet, climbing on me when I sit down, following me everywhere. I did nothign to tame her intentionally, is this normal with the breed? She is a charming little bird....
This is Liz Lacey, our beloved buff Cochin in Brooklyn. We have her as well as two ameraucanas, Irma and Gretchen. Gretchen is a little shy and flighty but has calmed down a lot, and Irma is wily and pushy and at times not the nicest chicken. Liz Lacey is sweet, comical, good natured...

Is your Suede an orpington? Are...
Thanks guys. I hope they do keep growing as I'm hoping to get full size eggs! As far as whether or not they are true Araucanas, from what I've read it seems unlikely, but that's what they were labled. I bought them at Farm and Fleet, a midwest chain. The female Araucanas are all a plain buff...
Hi All,
I have 10 chickens, 5 Araucanas and 5 Polish. All are about 7 weeks old. I'm just wondering how big they should be as I recently visited a farm and saw full size chickens that were much, much larger than mine are. I have no idea what the growth stages of chicks are though, so maybe...

Thanks for the advice GallowayFarms, I will check on corncob pieces. How often would I change that?
I plan on building a portable pen that i can put the chickens...
Thanks for all your advice! I have a few questions about your suggestions though.
The area is covered, but when it storms, which it has been doing a lot lately, rain would definitely get into the run. It's also very humid here (I'm in Iowa near the Mississippi) in the summer in general.
