    What breed is the quietest roo?

    I'm interested in this as well. I have ducks and goats and am adding chickens. Want a roo for reproduction but have the same noise concerns. Has anyone tried a "crow collar?" I was planning on trying it, but wanted some input from someone who's actually used one. Thanks!

    Good small dogs for protecting flock

    I had ducks when we adopted Max 3 years ago. He was about a year old and we don't know any of his history except that he is a rat terrier mix. For the first few months, he wanted to chase/kill them. They were fenced and he couldn't reach them but would stand at the fence "on point" trembling...

    Found a post by Oxepat that opens my eyes to the egg shipping dilemma! Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to share it here. :(

    cooked hatching egg!

    I know... I'm sure she didn't put live hatching eggs on the box for that very reason. And she used a printed FRAGILE" label from the post office! It wasn't her fault.

    cooked hatching egg!

    No one around here has Welsh Harlequins. I've raised several breeds and WH is the one I want for my small homestead This seller was the closest individual I've found. I can still order eggs for my broody hen, even though my daughter won't get to enjoy them.

    cooked hatching egg!

    I ordered some hatching eggs from a reputable seller (I've ordered from her before). It took Priority Mail 6 days to get the box to my house. 3 of the eggs were cracked and 4 were a sloshy mess. The yolk of one of the four was about 1/3 semi-solid! There are still 9 whole eggs. Aside from the...

    Good small dogs for protecting flock

    Just to clarify, he doesn't have to guard a flock on open range and he isn't in the pen with the livestock at all times. The "moat" pen system works great for us. Deer won't jump the pair of 4' fences with barking "piranha" inside and he takes care of any smaller predators very well. We live in...

    Good small dogs for protecting flock

    We have a tall rat terrier (we think, he was a throw-away) that we trained (with a training collar on light setting) to ignore the ducks we had when he arrived. He goes in the duck pen often and has killed rats, snakes, and possums (even tangled with a coon once) but never even looks at the...

    Review by '' on item 'Welsh Harlequin'

    The hens are prolific layers of white standard large size eggs, which make these delicious eggs easy to incorporate into any recipe. They are also excellent brooders and mothers when the need arises. The ducklings are very robust and you can sex them during the first 3 days with fairly good...
