Jumbo pekin ducklings are set to hatch in a few days. $8 each or 15 for $100.
Excellent meat and egg ducks. We range ours without issue, and they actually do really well with foraging. Hatches now will be ready for early summer butcher.
Near Milesburg, PA.
Will also soon have muscovy ducklings...
Sorry guys, keep going with this thread while I work on the new page. :) It's been slow going with the homestead and a bunch of other craziness going on here, but I promise, I'm working on it! :)
$20 per egg. Flock has 1 white gander and 1 splash gander over 1 saddleback goose, 1 buff splash goose and 3 white geese. They are laying now. Not presale.

That is the current swapper's swap page, with their offerings. :)
Is anybody else here on facebook?
I am hoping to have the new thread up sometime in January. Holiday rush has finally slowed, so once I get everything else caught up around here, I'll devote a block of time to sit down and get the new thread up and running. :)
In all honesty, it might have been changed already. I'm going to have to make a new swap page, because without being able to edit the first post, it's impossible to keep track of all of the rules. I'll be pouring through to see if there were any rule changes already decided on and work on a new...
The gift cards I've claimed, they just sent the codes to me electronically. As for tracking, it's free through the USPS. If you're shipping priority, it's automatically added. If you need to ship First Class, use paypal.com/shipnow and print through them, because then tracking is free through them.
Would goats or sheep be a better option? I milk the Shetland sheep without issue. Small (about up to my knee), eat your lawn (untreated, of course), hay and mineral and are pretty easy keepers. Plus you get wool :)
I "moved" this from the swap thread...
I honestly think that we need to raise the value of the swap. $10 is great, but when you think about if someone claims something across the country, that's $7 to ship your item to them, so you end up losing out in the end. It really isn't worth it at that...
Winter used to be when we'd all go crazy collecting up preseason shipments. I remember having to have a list written down and having it hidden, lest someone find it and think I was apeshoot crazy... ;)
Let's move it to the chat thread, I'll repost my "proposal" there and anybody can say how...
I've tried adding in a link for the rules to be on an edited page. They edited the original post, then edited it back out and I can't get the link put back in. So... the rules aren't exactly editable like this. The change in BYC rules really put a damper on swapping. They closed several swap...
They'll be like stewed carrots. You have to pressure can them. You can dehydrate them though. Then you can sprinkle them in with whatever you're cooking. Or you can do honeyed carrots. :)
I finally started chopping out tomato plants. I'm so sick of them. I'm to the point where I'd rather buy store stuff than deal with them. Next year, ALL volunteers will be weeded out and composted. I want to grow those big paste tomatoes that you just toss in a pot, cook and blend. I'm over...
I'd pop them into the incubator myself, but I just ripped out the brooder pens that a "friend's" goats totally destroyed. I've got way too much on my plate right now to fix them up for babies! :(
