Prairie Hen - Yeah I am so glad your boy his home. Merry Christmas!

Good luck - I am sending your little guy all my good thougts best wishes and prayers.

I am so happy for you and the dogs. What a happy ending - it'll give me something to smile about all weekend. Thank you for sharing.

One of my welsummer hens is very smart and escapes the enclosure nearly every day. Today I found her hidden nest. 14 eggs behind a shrub up against the house. Both of my roos are welsummers and that is the breed I wanted to hatch this year. Temps are ranging from 68 during the day to 18 at...

You have all made it so easy. I really need to order duck eggs because I need more than 4 ducks in my orchard. Thank you.

We are putting in an orchard over the next few months. It is going to be approx 70x100. Various fruit trees, grapes and a seperate berry patch in the end. I am thinking of allowing the ducks run of the orchard. I currently have 4 but am really wanting to hatch some ASAP. Will they destroy...

Quote: I think you will learn That all drakes do not have the drake feathers visible at some time during a molt. I don't know the molting pattern for swedish so can not say for sure. in other cases ducks and drakes will pull the drake feathers off a drake. Rule is that if it has drake feathers...

I am so confused and I think my ducks are more so. I have 4 ducks all about 9 months old. 2 white pekin drakes, 1 silver appleyard duck and one blue swedish mystery. Starting at about 4 months of age the 2 white pekins were mating the blue swedish and paid no attnetion to the silver...

Yeah!!! They are finally laying their beautiful terracotts eggs.

Thanks for the responses. No artificial light. I have seen my girls sitting in the nest box and combs and wattles are nice and ready. I can't wait for them to start.

Is it possible the girls are just waiting for spring and won't start laying until they are close to a year old. They are absolutely beautiful and charming Welsummers and I am so anxious for some of their beautiful eggs. Thanks for any thoughts.

I have a few suggestions for you on things that may bother the cat enough to keep it away. Cats hate the smell of vinegar. Put a dish of vinegar water on the incubator. Or put something on the incubator that doesn't cover the holes but breaks up the cats sleeping area - like a brick maybe...

I only keep mine locked in when the highs are below 20 degrees. Otherwise they have free choice to be in or out during the day. I do provide warm water at least 3 times per day when it is so cold. Also I feed some extra treats like warm oatmeal, corn and mashed potatos, etc on the really cold...

To me it looks like hull-less kernel free carmel corn. Around here thay sell it at the county fair and different events. It comes prepackaged. There are different companies that make it but the one that comes to mind is cosmos carmel corn. It always reminds me of cheets puffs but made with...

I bumped up the one I think you are looking for

just bumping it up for Katy

Me too. It's been as cold as 12 below here and several of my 1 1/2 year old hens are molting. My dad keeps telling me that they can't be molting this time of year but I am sure that is what is going on.

My coworkers husband brought home 14 chukars and we would like to some ideas for preparing them. Thanks - Deena

If anyone has made crutons in the dehydrator I would love to hear about it. I am having so much fun with dehydrating tomatoes and apples and would love to try something different.
