We found a hole that was dug out the other day. But we'll make sure to add more protein to their food though. Squirrels? Really?! That's funny.
I got 6 eggs the other day, which is double the amount! We'll see how they do on more protein and hopefully no more weasels!
I have 11 Khaki and 6 WH ducks that are a year old now. They started molting back in March so I wasn't surprised when the egg production went down. Before I was getting about 14 eggs a day. A few weeks ago I found out that I was having a weasel stealing eggs. We sealed up their house better and...
We are starting to raise turkeys this year. Does anyone have a all-time favorite book on turkeys? What heritage breed is the best for raising? If you have anything to add to these questions please feel free to post them! I'm trying to get a feel for what we should expect and what we'll need...
O.k. I got a question for all you turkey experts. :-P I have a friend of mine that is looking at raising heritage turkeys this year. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to get them and what types are better then others? Any thoughts will be helpful!!
I thought it was called a clutch, thanks.
That helps a lot!!!!
I'm looking at getting 11 khaki Campbell ducks, 3 Khaki Campbell drakes, 2 Welsh Harlequin drakes, and 5 Welsh Harlequin ducks. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to not interbreed but still grow my flock without buying any...
O.k. I'm sure this is a total newbie question but I need to know before I go any farther in raising ducks and geese. Can you breed a brother and sister from the same litter? Or is that a big no no?
Any thoughts? I was wondering if you can or can't do that with geese as well?
Does any body have...

Embdens are the most popular meat geese. They are a good choice. Mutt geese are my favorite for meat. Since you are just eating them it does not matter what they look like. They are cheaper to buy that way.
I feed ours chicken feed, but there are some who think that is not good...
Those are so cute! I'm glad to hear the mama is doing so well. I love the pictures!! Sounds like she has a great disposition even after the hard life she lived. We have one dog that was abused as a puppy and another that wasn't handled enough in puppy-hood. But it is amazing to see how much...
O.k. so here is a newbie looking for info on Sebastopol geese and meet geese. I am getting some ducks for the first time this year.
The ducks will be for eggs and bug control, but I would like to get a pair of Sebastopol geese to raise and sell their off-spring. Any suggestions on feed...
Hello Everyone,
I have a question for those of you in the Gig Harbor, Tacoma, Silverdale area.
Where do you get your duck feed? Do you get waterfowl feed or a combination of feeds?
I'm looking at getting a few Khaki Campbell and Welsh Harlequin ducks within this month and I want to get all my...
I've been looking around for people or places that sell Khaki campbells and/or Welsh Harlequins. The only snag seems to be is finding a place that sells them sexed and (of course) at a reasonable price.
Cackle has both but only Khakis are sexed. Has anyone bought these breeds from them before...
