How much are they eggs and the chicks? Are you in san diego or do you ship?

I recently picked up a large bulk order of meat bird starter feed. This is high protein feed at 23% protein and is great for starting chicks, or raising meat birds or large poultry like turkeys and ducks. You bring a container to haul it and I'll sell by weight, $.28 per pound (comes to $14...

So if i was to trim the beak, the process would need to be repeated on a regular basis? How would trimming be accomplished? Could a sharp knife do it or do you need a specific tool?

I butcher/process poultry for local families, hens that stop laying, roosters that were supposed to be hens, meat birds and so on, but yesterday someone brought me a young rhode island red hen with a beak problem. Both its upper and lower beak are deformed which is hindering what it can eat so...

Black stars are a cross between a barred rock hen and a rhode island red rooster. They are amazing layers with good dispositions and are one of the all around best brown egg layers you can have. I currently have 20 for sale that are 10 weeks old (generally start laying between 16-20). I am...

I have newly hatched Pekin ducks for sale. $10 for straight run newly hatched

I did, but the temp did rise to 102 for an unknown length of time, which I believe is high enough to kill developing birds, right?

Yes, but I'm wondering if I didn't do it thoroughly. There were also some times the temp got up to 102 degrees, but I wasn't sure for how long. I'm wondering if the darkened eggs are more likely from temp or bacteria...

I recently started raising duck eggs and have been getting worse and worse results. First batch had 100% hatch, then I had 90% but after several more batches I have now had two that had a zero hatch rate. I've been noticing that most of the eggs that don't have have darker areas on/in the...

I have found some similar threats but none that seem to quite answer my question. I have a selection of barred rocks and white rocks that have been laying smaller eggs that have very light colored shells. Sometime their shells almost seem white. When they are darker they almost seem to have a...

Email me at [email protected] and ill be happy to address you both with specifics.

Well i had someone call me today and pick up the 30 i had that were unclaimed. Would you be interested in getting some next month? If this is time sensitive i could sell you the ten i was going to raise for myself from this batch.

I'll upload some pics. You've never heard of the color of the bill as a sign of sex? of the 10 birds I raised, every other one with a darker color bill is a male and every one with a lighter is a female, this is the only duck that isn't consistent.

Well I have the ability to get and feed spent grain in large quantity and have made it around 70% of my chickens feed for the past couple months and have had high egg production and no weight loss. I know there can be problems if you let the feed sour, but I'm wondering if anyone has actually...

I don't doubt that there might be some blood in the lungs, and some birds don't go down as easy as others, but something tells me no matter how you kill birds that will be true. I just don't think drowning is a real possibility when you do something that drains almost all of the blood from an...

So I thought barred was a dominant gene, but white is dominant above every color you're saying?

Is that because you have heard it is bad to have it be a majority of their intake or you are just worried to see how they will do if you make it a bigger part of what they take in?

Crossing a white rooster with a barred hen should give sex linked chicks. Barred males and non-barred females, but what will the females look like? Anyone ever experienced this? I'm wondering if the females will be all white which would make them almost impossible to distinguish between the...

drowning? I don't buy it, my birds are dead in around 10-15 seconds and are calm until just before they die. If blood did get in their lungs it wouldn't FILL them with blood, and even then it would take much longer to die from suffocation than complete blood loss. Suffocation causes you to...

What are peoples experiences with feeding their birds spent grains? It seems like a lot of people are unfamiliar with it still.
