Looks like I am moving into a camper. We have 8 hens and 7 ducks (only 1 drake) I would rather keep then kill. What is the cheapest way to go for shelter for them? I have some cattle panels and a small amount of 2"x4" fence and metal nesting boxes. Money is a huge issue. They are about a...

I have been dealing with 2 slightly protruding disks for over a year. Before this happened i could throw a 50 pound bag over each shoulder and walk off with them. Now i can barely move anything with the help of a wheelbarrow. I did something to irritate my back the other day. Right now I...

My daughter is watching a 4.5 yr old. He goes to school full time. He is fed breakfast and lunch at school. When here he asks for the following food: Chicken nuggets, chicken fries, mac and cheese, french fries, pizza, or peanut butter on white bread and corn (donuts cakes and brownies and candy...

We are not use to and were not ready for this cold. One of our roosters sounds a bit wheezy as he breathes. His buddy and their 5 hens are in the far reaches of the property in the coldest leanto. I am pretty sure he has pneumonia. Everyone else seems fine. I have some penicillin on hand. This...

I have a client who is willing to buy chicks 200 at a time for us to raise for him. I would love to price hatching eggs. Anyone here that produces enough eggs that we can start around 100 a week? ETA. Not until spring!!!

I have a shoeing client who would like to have us raise 200 quail. (more later). He will be buying the chicks. I have no idea how much feed it will take to raise them so no idea what to charge him. I would be even happier if my birds would lay enough eggs that I could hatch but I do not even...

Hatching has gone very well. My daughter informed me that their are 37 chicks less then a week old plus an as yet uncounted number of older chicks. Will not ship at this time. We have quail also. One nice group of 4 week olds.

Our sweet old mare has been fighting EPM for a number of years. Last Sunday we had to have the veterinarian come and put her down. Thanks to the winter weather the rendering truck just left. Unluckily the neighbor who is still mad we will not sell our 2 acres to, called the TV station and said...

We do not have a working oven. We do have a large roaster we can use as an oven. We are going to processes a few birds sometime today and I am open to suggestions on cooking them. I do not have any bacon at this point but could get some. Our fist batch tasted good but were a bit tough. I plan on...

Rather then buying still another small incubator I would love to find a cabinet incubator. We have a big 15.3 calm sweet gelding we could trade for one. Zip is 62972

substitute postal carrier. Is there any chance for 10 day old frozen egg to hatch? Do I even bother finding room in the bator?

It seems I had eggs delivered Saturday. Too bad I did nt know about it!!!!!! Saturday, Monday and today the substitute mail carried place all our mail for those 3 days in my truck. My eggs froze!! No note, no car honk, nothing....

Am I the only one that has a problem with this? Anytime I ride with other people in the winter I melt. Why do people dress for being outside then crank the heat up so high in the vehicle it is hotter then the inside of the house? I end up sweating then when I do escape outside I freeze because I...

Early this morning I heard a noise and looked over to be surprised at seeing a Chukar running around my neighbor's pasture. I think my daughter must have lost one a week or two ago and did not tell me. Any suggestion on getting it back. I think enjoying it out there is about all I will be able...

No one is interested in my Buttons Are their pictures that bad?

These little quail are just too cute and fun to not share. 10+ eggs. If you want some shipped before the first let me know.

Where can I get a hand pump and how do you install one? We do have a well on the other side of our creek and our water bill is around 100 a month. I would like to water the horses from the well. No electricity unless we run about 200+ feet of cord.

Space restraints is forcing the sale of some of our birds. We have up to 15 of these nice birds for sale. I will not ship, sorry.

I might have put a stop to the Buttons laying. Moved them all into a cat crate and set up a bigger cage for them. It was a close call a few times on who was faster, person, cat or dog when on managed to get loose. They are all in now and being really quiet.... I like the clean plexiglass on the...

I staggered out this morning to turn the lights on and had quail everywhere! The 24 Bob's were out along with 2 of the 6 speckled. Not sure to blame the goat or more then likely my kid. One of the "doors" was opened. I think the Speckled quail just became too excited and opened thier top of the...
