My MW turkey poults get into everything, lol. I bought them at a few days old and raised them with chicks that were hatched by my boss and his fam. I started out with 5 MWs and lost 2 the first night. The place I ordered them from wouldn't stand behind them, either. I bought 3 Royal Palms that...

Well if you need more hatching eggs, just let me know. I usually have a few (chicken or duck) available. Hopefully turkeys next spring, too - if I survive them. The little velociraptors are fearless and, now that they have figured out I sometimes have treats, they are vicious!

Wish I could do BSF up here - it's just too cold during the winter and the summers are too short. I kept a tiny colony going for about 2 years by setting up a system outside for the summer and in my basement during the winter but it finally fizzled out. Great little composters and my red...

If you wanted ducklings Raz, I could have set you up with them. I have ducklings like crazy here! Muscovies, Rouens, Runners, and Runner/Rouen crosses . . . . Anybody need young ducks? I have 20 in varying ages up to 2 months old. And 2 mamas that I found sitting on hidden nests . . .

Does anyone need any empty feed bags for crafting? I have dozens and dozens. Mostly 40 lb. bags (couple of 50 pounders in there, too, but I have a hard time moving bags that heavy any more so I have to buy the 40 pounders) - duck feed, layer crumbles, chick starter. Plus a few Purina, Nutrena...

So sorry PK! Our furbabies are precious.

I haven't been on here in so long I totally forgot about Chickenstock. I had it in my head that it was happening last weekend for some reason . . . I hope everyone is having a blast. It's a gorgeous day for it. Ah well. I am so far behind in yardwork alone (and housework too - apparently the...

Holly ~ what type of fencing are you using for the pastured area?

What, your not coming over to build it?!? Lol. As soon as it's done (or at least started), come on over. How are those paint chalk projects going?

Minimal skill - I guess I qualify, lol!

Thanks to Birdman, I think I am going to be putting together a hoop coop or 2 now. I want one for the Midget Whites I have on order (if the order actually comes through) and another for a grow out spot for chicks that have outgrown the brooder. And maybe one more for a greenhouse, lol. We'll...

True BM . . . I will probably hold off for a bit regardless. I trade eggs for local raw honey now anyway. And by waiting I may find that they modify, tweak, improve, etc. the design.

I was looking at their site again last week and saw the backorders. I was curious as to whether or not the price would drop a bit considering their fundraiser goal was $70,000 but they raised several million instead!!!! Some of those were orders in addition to donations.

Dport - keeping ducks and chickens together can be like oil and water. Some breeds do better together than others. My Muscovy hens, my Runner ducks, and my Rouens all seem to do quite well with the chickens. My main coop is 12 x 16 with a large run built around it (plus lots of free range time...

Dport - are you looking for a specific breed (s)? I may have some. I have several teachers in the area hatching eggs in the classrooms that will be returning chicks to me after the hatch and some social time before the end of the school year. I may also have a few ducks. I have an Indian Runner...

Hey Holly! I've been wondering the same thing . . . since I have ducks and chickens (and waterfowl were mentioned in one of the articles, I think. Or maybe someone on here mentioned it . . .). I was planning on getting a few heritage turkeys this year, too. I'm extending fermenting their feed (I...

Hey Guys! I usually just follow the posts here once in awhile and stay quiet. I have a few FBC Marans in my flock and decided to pick up a couple more from someone who purchased eggs online and hatched them. These birds are a favorite of mine not just for the dark eggs, but also for the friendly...

Almost forgot - here are some newbies to my flock. Splash Marans (sex unknown yet), 2 Blue Copper Marans Pullets, and a Blue Copper cockerel French Black Copper Marans cockerel. His 2 sibs wouldn't stay still long enough for a picture. All 3 have good coppering and decent leg feathering.

I know - I feel the same way Taprock. I have ducks and chickens so I'm trying hard not to freak out at every little sneeze! My ducks are diligent about chasing away intruder wild ducks but since they still aren't sure how this is passed . . . Yikes!

Lauraks - I've been researching barley fodder as well. I want to be set up to do that for chickens, ducks, and 2 horses this next winter. I already sprout BOSS for the poultry now. I haven't been able to find a local source for barley locally - nearest I located is about an hour and a half...
