    Male Duck Issue!

    Last season I acquired two female goslings, 2 buff ducks and 3 straight run Cayugas. Of course, all three Cayugas are male. I have just had a dozen straight run ducklings thrown in my lap recently (now 3-4 weeks old) and expect to have further issues with an excess of males. I know that I need...

    Operation Dry Hatch

    Hello everyone! I have hatched chicks successfully with the dry incubation method. In a funny turn of events, I now am going to try to hatch some BR turkey poults. Does anyone recommend using the dry incubation method with them as well? Any thoughts are appreciated! :)

    Russian Orloffs

    Well, yesterday I had my first heat stroke issue. One of my Spangled from Ideal had a bad case of heat stroke and I couldn't bring her out of it.

    LF Cornish Breeder Anywhere?

    I am in Northeast Connecticut, but would be willing to drive a few hours and/or have birds or hatching eggs shipped. I am finding out that they are VERY hard to find!

    LF Cornish Breeder Anywhere?

    I was wondering if there were any breeders of straight large fowl Cornish on here? I am not looking for a cross, just quality Cornish. I do not have a color preference! Thanks in advance!

    Sustainable Meat Birds

    I am not new to chickens, but I am very new to meat birds. I am looking to start a sustainable flock. I am not interested in hybrids simply because I would like to not have to purchase birds each year, and would like to raise my own instead. I am mainly looking for a Dual Purpose breed, with a...
