We have a lone goose, she survived a predator attack a year ago, her mate and her near hatching nest did not, she is tough, she lost a good share of her beak but is fine. Would love to get some hatching eggs to provide her some company!

We are restarting our flock, we like to have about 20-25 chickens, prefer colorful and do not usually keep a rooster, just a small flock for eggs and entertainment value! Other breeds I like, in case anyone has assorted breeds available: Buff Orpington, Welsummer, Marans, Silver Laced...

I think, in my research, either of these breeds would work for us! So, opinions on both are welcome, also info on best places to buy goslings or even hatching eggs! We are just looking at getting a few to play with right now!

My guess is 32!

We have all hens and looking for a drake desperately! How did we manage to get so lucky to have all hens? But, hard to get any babies out of all females! Thanks! Kim

I have 6 muscovies, pretty sure there are 4 ducks and 2 drakes. We have had fertile eggs, both in the bator and under the ducks. But, after attempting to hatch 3 clutches, all have failed. There are 2 ducks that nest together and fight over eggs, I think they end up getting in and out of the...

I have been following the forums for a couple hundred pages now and have several books, tons of recipes and took a soaping class. Just looking for suggestions specific to the 2 pounds of soap aspect of it. If someone has a tried and true 2 pounds recipe there is no sense trying to reinvent the...

Recipe Help! A friend and I are just starting to make soap, planning to sell and bring in some extra money. We are currently playing with recipes, looking for a recipe that will make a nice hard bar, good sudsing, not too harsh. And, we have molds that make 8 bars. So we are looking for...

We have some chicks right now that are an OEG banty rooster crossed with Buff Orp, Gold Star and SL Wyandotte standard sized hens. There are 5: 2 white, 2 black and 1 buff. They are looking VERY banty like to me and not really growing at all in size but are developing normally, just small...

Our auctions all seem to auction birds first, adult guineas seem to never be less than 12-15. We bought some couple week old ones for $7 each. This year I ahve set my prices to be $5 for newly hatched (farm store prices), $7 for a couple weeks old, $10 for bigger, fully feathered ready for the...

This can be answered by those who sell or those who buy! I am raising guineas, using an incubator, and getting quite a few and having good luck! My questions is: How much do you sell yours for or how much are you willing to pay for guineas? I have them broken into 4 categories- new babies...

We have had a rought Spring/Summer, cold, wet, suddenly hot, back to cold, more wet... It's been a bad year to raise chicks! Newest thing, loose, off colored stools and some sneezing/discharge. Some slowly go downhill, get dumpy and listless and die, some are just suddenly dead. Wondering...

I have noticed that many in my small flock have an orange-ish loose stool. The other day I also watched as a hen had a completely clear liquid blow out! Yuck! There is more sneezing than I would like as well. We had a damp, cold spring and then went straight to a few HOT days and now back to...

Where in South Dakota is she moving to? I am in South Dakota and could possibly help ease her transition... And, yes, I agree that soap would be a wonderful parting gift!

I was wondering what you all think of a new thread idea: soap recipes! All of the experts can post their favorite recipes and why they love them for all of us newbies! What do you all think?

I ended up getting 6, was pretty late when we got home and the auction was packed! So, I really don't even know a lot of detail about what I bought! I believe they are all black and white. $8-10 was the going price, I think a few may have gone slightly over $10 but that was the general range...

Generally guinea pigs crave companionship so much that they get along fine, especially if they have enough room. Putting two adults together of the same sex can be a disaster though! And, you have to be careful as many times they are wrongly sexed by pet stores, vets and breeders, they can be...

I find that mine tend to run around in groups of 3, 4 or 5. They seem to be the same groups most of the time with slight variances. But, yes, 1 male with service whatever females he can get around to, not a problem! I am sure there is a magic number for the ideal ratio though!

The answer is...depends. I have them and my hubby did not want them as grandpa had tehm when he was a kid and they roosted in the trees and were loud! We coop trained ours and I find they loudest at sundown but if coop trained they are heading in anyway. They squawk when something is just not...
