    Ducks for fly control: Muscovy vs Khaki Campbell

    Are Muscovies really superior for fly control or would Khaki Campbells be nearly are effective. I would like to try a few ducks for fly control but if there is not too much difference in their fly controling abilities I'd prefer a breed that would given me more eggs. Thanks.

    making home-made feed

    Oh, but one more thing: If you go with whole grain feed you want to transition them slowly to give their gizzards time to get conditioned.

    making home-made feed

    Nope, you don't need to cook anything. They are able to eat all those hard raw grains and legumes; their gizzards "grind" them up----- just be sure they have access to plenty of grit.

    making home-made feed

    I'm definitely moving in the direction of homemade whole grain layer feed and Greener Pastures' recipe is the one I'm most likely to end up using. The only question I have is about the sodium content. I know chickens are not supposed to have much sodium in their diets but as far as I can see...

    If Ivermectin is used externally, is it OK to eat the eggs from the hens being treated? If not, how long is the waiting period?

    Looking for a breeder of true Ameraucana's in Oregon/SW Washington

    WOW, thanks for the quick replies! Yeah, I looked up Pips & Peeps and it would take 16 hours round trip, so probably not a possibility. Do you know where Tailfeathers is located?

    Want to buy: Dominique pullets this Spring (Oregon)

    This will be my first time keeping chickens. After much research I have decided I would really LOVE to buy 2-3 Dominique pullets this Spring. I live in Eugene, Oregon but would consider driving as far as SW Washington or northern California. Thanks.

    Which breeds are less likely to become internal layers?

    First, thanks for the welcome, Chickalator! Second, I just realized I used the terms internal layer and egg bound as if they are interchangeable. I now realize I don't even know if they are the same thing or not. I guess I need to be schooled up on that, too. Thanks again!
