I'm new here to the site and was hoping to get some advice. My husband built this amazing avariey for me for Valentine's and my son Bought me a pair of button quails. They are absolutely darling, we've named them Pitter and Patter. But I'm having difficulty sexing the cream colored one. I've...
I have two three month old supposedly Pilgrim geese,(but they diffidently do not look like them), probably a mixed breed, but that's besides the point because we absolutely love them but anyhow I always let them out in the morning and noticed the one will start squawking and run in circles with...
Sydney: I just acquired 2 pilgrim goslings due to the fact the they are a rare breed, quiet, and supposedly extremely docile. They are 5 weeks old now and absolutely adorable, each with their very own distinctive personalities.They stick to us like velcro. We love them. Also, I am thinking...
I have 2 pilgrim goslings 5 weeks old and 2 Muscovies, drake and Hen. (1 year old) I was thinking about adding 2 either Red Star or Buff Orphington to the Condominium. But wasn't sure how they would be as roomies. Has anyone ever roomed geese and Chickens together? Will it work? Thank you for...
Fabulous: Book marked your coop for ideas when we can get outside an are able to start ours we still have snow on the ground. I was just curious , wondering if you get snow and really cold weather. Here in upstate NY it's pretty chilly. Great Job !!! Justine
Wendy: We have an Alpaca (Birhtday Cake surprise) who is adorable. You are really going to love them. They are so sweet. I would suggest putting them (alpacas/goats) in different pens for about a week, so they can get use to each other first unless the Alpacas are coming from a home where they...
I need your expertise, Any ideas to house button quails. First time hatching and I want to keep several but not sure what's the easiest way to keep them? Does any one use plastic containers? Thanks in advance.
:)Looking to hatch button quail eggs. Never done this before ( a little scarey) Wanted to see if anyone who raises buttons has any pictures on how they keep these little cuties. Something Simple. Oh and by the way, If you sell button Quail eggs let me know. I'm looking to buy. Thanks
we have an alpaca that serves several purpose for our family.protecting our goats, & the manure is great. Alpacas/lallmas have deer like manure and they go to the bathroom in the same spot. It makes for easy clean up and composting. We only paid 200 for him and he is beautiful. They aren't as...
I'm so new to becoming a member, not sure if my last post went through, sorry for the repeat. Living in Western NY it gets mighty cold, today we started out at 10 degrees. Burr. Our family has raised meat birds before but never egg layers. We've heard horrific stories about how toes have gotten...
Ready for some sunshine and HEAT!!! Our family has raised meat birds before but never egg laying hens. How do they fair with all this bitter cold weather and the crazy amounts of snow? If you have any ideas as far as a good hearty egg laying chicken love to hear from ya. How do you keep them...
If you're looking for someone to test eggs, our family would love to help you. We live about as far as you can get from you, (Western NY)
and it's still mighty cold here. So if that's somrthing you want to try as far as distance and how long it'll take to get here, etc, e-mail me and let me...
Welcome to BYC, you're going to love it here. The people are so wonderful and extremely helpful. The school house sounds like a great idea just to keep the birds out of the rain, but as far as an actual coop for sleeping/housing, I would be nervous about critters. Even if you screened it up you...
Every one has been so very helpful here. Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you I'm still trying to figure out how to get around the site.Thank you for all your great advice in regards to Pittter & Patter. I called the pet store where I had originally purchased them to see if they could sex...
Have you ever thought about a llama? We have one that protects our goats.They are easy to care for and love the fact that their manure can go right on top of soil with out burning plants. They also go in the excat same spot so it makes it easy for clean up. The lamma sleeps right alongside the...
Thank you for your help, I 'll post a couple of more pics. of front views of their cute little faces in an hour or so. Maybe a front view will help in determining the bibs. I personally can't see bibs present. Is it then possible that a hen imitates a male crowing sound?
