Anyone know a good place to get, or happen to breed Muscovy ducks? I am looking specifically for black and blue muscovies. Not pied. Very minimal white. Also I do not want heavy caruncle genetics. I want to get them this year with my chicks I plan to get sometime spring/summer.
Or if I could...
Does anyone know a good breeder to purchase some eggs, chicks, or adult birds from? I am trying to find a breeder and have had little luck aside from looking at cackle hatchery who seems to have decent birds.
I am looking to find some breeders of some buff brahma show stock. I am looking into starting my own flocks to show in a year or two and I am trying to get names of at least here breeders to select my stock from. Whether it be eggs, chicks, or adult birds. I have never shown before but I figure...
Do any of you breed silver Phoenix for show still? I am trying to get a list of breeders together so that I may purchase some eggs, chicks, or adult fowl in a year or two.
That was my big worry. I know there are coyotes out here. I hope that you can catch your bobcat soon so that your ducks can live in peace!
My husband and I are thinking about building our own barn instead, since it will be around 400 a month for the carport, we might as well just save up and...
Oh isn't that the truth! I keep throwing ideas around in my head. I see so many people with breeder coops and their birds actually are in open air coops that the pens are probably more like 4x8 so I need to look I tot hat. Perhaps I could get away with one carport if I do that instead. Who...
Well it looks like the property is slowly coming along. I have a plan set up of how I want everything built on the property and the pastures. Hopefully the house will be getting moved this month after we purchase our railroad ties and mow a path for the semi. I am still having a hard time...
Would crossing black La Fleche with Black minorca for diversity and breeding only the V combed birds back together be a good cross? I imagine I would need to do this over several generations of course to get back to a good bird. It seems la fleche are very difficult to find. Both birds have the...
Okay, so I am wanting some advice on breeding pens. I want to have 4 breeds that I want to work on, Dominique, Belgian Quail D'anver Bantam, Silver Phoenix, and Salmon Faverolle. I was thinking of building a 40'x 16' Building. It would have a 10'x16' Storage area/ Brooder & incubator area, and...
Well, I got the driveway started on my property, not much else haha! The guy delivering the gravel got stuck in the mud, so it was going to be way too wet for him to do the house area, so we just did our culvert very well. We now have the start to our 20' wide drive haha. It is going to make it...
Thanks haha! I hope everything goes well. It will be one step at a time. I am not sure if I want to finance a prefab building, or build it from scratch at the moment. :)
That is what I am afraid of. My husband and I unfortunately will not be able to adopt thanks to my father being a registered...
I wish I could have some! I have three quail instead haha. But I have big plans for my property.
There is a 36'x32' Layer chicken yard with a layer coop built out of a recycled camper. An area for a pool, then a 8'x16' pigeon aviary, a 12'x16' patio, and a 4'x16' pond next to it all in the...
Thank you both! I can't wait. I am so ready to be done with renting and bad neighbors who let their dog run everywhere and bite me and I can't do anything about it. At least out there I can fire a shot without care, or let me dogs do what they have been wanting to. So tired of this little ankle...
I haven't been on here to update in a while, but I have some good news and bad news. I will start with the bad so the good news can brighten it up haha. My doctors are 90% sure I have endomitriosis, and the pain is so bad at times all I can do is lay in the fetal position and try not to scream...
I would like to get the names of some decent lines of Dominiques and Silver Phoenix . I am trying to find two separate breeders of each breed I want to work with. I have two for my Quail D'anvers, Salmon Faverolles, and one Silver Phoenix, but I need two breeders of Dominiques, and one for the...
I am thinking about getting into pigeons in a few years, as far as their diet goes I have heard people ask for pigeon mix at the feed store, what honestly should be contained in their food? Are there any good diets on the market. I plan to build a 8' by 16' aviary, is this a large enough space...
