    NPIP certification with both chickens and muscovies - New Hampshire

    Hi all, hoping someone else has encountered this. I sent in a request to get my flock NPIP certified for future hatching egg sales. Easy peasy, someone coming out in a month to do blood tests, but I mentioned my muscovies and that brought things to a screeching stop. My muscovies free range...

    Northeastern Poultry Congress Pictures

    I spent today spectating at the Northeastern Poultry Congress. I really enjoyed the variety of birds that I got to see and snapped a bunch of pictures. I tried to get the ones that placed well, including some of the birds on Champion row. They weren't done placing when I had to leave, so I...

    My Barred Rock Girls

    Here are my four Barred Rock pullets, demonstrating why I don't have to buy a lot of layer crumbles for them. They've done wonders for the bug population, working under the trees to turn over all of the pine straw and leaves that hasn't been moved in years and eat all of the bugs they find...

    New Muscovy keeper - advice needed

    Hi, I'm new to BYC and I have my first Muscovies showing up this weekend. It's three ducks and a drake, all adults, from a local farm. We're getting things set up and want to check to make sure we're not heading for disaster. 1. We don't want them to take off as soon as they arrive, so...
