I'm thinking about getting a breeding pair of Peafowl "Peacocks" in Northern Indiana, and could use any helpful feedback! I probably won't get them until mid summer since I need to ready my barn for them like insulating, building perches, a nesting box and making the attached coop higher. I also...

French Toulouse Geese in North Judson, Indiana I have 4 French Toulouse geese (2 male, 2 female) and will sell a mating pair for $50 or all 4 for $80. Price is negotiable and might trade for Call ducks. Good layers and most every egg was fertile this year. In fact, they're still mating. Metzer...

I have 2 male & 2 female French Toulouse I need to rehome due to my health. They turn 1 year old tomorrow, great layers, most all eggs fertile and still breeding. Metzer stock and good healthy birds. No, they aren't overly friendly especially to strangers but will tolerate the person that tends...

My hens are dying off one by one. The first one was a week ago and now the second one won't live to see the sun rise. Help! Symptoms: Quit laying. Listless and weak. Quit eating. Can't seem to quack. Head shaking. Not all out flinging it around, just quick flicks. HOT! I picked her up to move...

I just got 4 French Toulouse goslings last week that are SO adorable (and smart it seems)! I just have a few questions. They're tagged so I know the genders right now, but will I be able to tell them apart when they get older? How can you tell a goose and gander apart once they're grown? Size...

At what point to chicks (or Saxony ducklings in my case) start moving around in the egg? The ones my hens are sitting on should hatch around the 20th-21st if all is well, but there's no movement inside and they don't look very big yet. The veins are all nice and red, would those change if the...

I have 2 broody hens (Saxony ducks) that sit on the nest most of the time so I'm letting them do their thing and only gathering the new eggs when I see them go out to stretch their legs. Today there was one egg that had been pushed out and it was ice cold. How long can a developing egg survive...

Hi everyone, North central Indiana here with 5 gorgeous Saxony ducks (2 D 3 H), 3 dogs and some fish. I'm looking to add a couple geese to my flock and really love The French Toulouse but can't seem to find any without paying $60 in shipping! I don't like shipping animals to begin with, so if...

I'd LOVE to add a couple Toulouse geese to my little flock but don't want to pay the shipping charges! Is there anyone in Indiana, Illinois or lower Michigan that will have goslings or eggs for sale this spring? I'm in north central Indiana and will make the drive to save a few bucks. Eggs can...

I have 3 Saxony hens and 2 drakes. (1 year olds) Up until today they have all left the house and pen to bathe, forage etc., but yesterday morning the eggs were warm when I went to collect so I left them. This morning one hen stayed on the nest while the others went out and never left while I was...

Yesterday I noticed one of my 5 week old drakes not walking right and lagging behind the others. It seemed his feet were more outward than under him. Today he didn't even try to keep up on their way back to the barn and I carried him. His feathers look a little ruffled, he's not snuggled up with...

Yesterday one of my 3 week old Saxonys fell onto his back and 4 of the others attacked him. Today a baby Sparrow (dead and no feathers) was in their pen and they shredded it. Were they attacking it or trying to eat it? I of course had to tape this, it was like tug o war and a basketball game...

I finally got my little Saxony Ducklings from Holderread. After not sending them the right shipping amount and having to cut another check, they finally arrived today. :) I had to order ten when I really only wanted 3 or 4, they shipped me 2 extra (very nice of them), one died in transit so now...

I've never raised any type of birds and my 10 Saxony ducklings will be shipped on the 25th of this month. I need to build a pen! I was surfing for an answer to whether or not a duck pen (run) MUST have a top on it, and found a giant YES followed by pictures of no top on the pens. hmmm My ducks...

Hi, I'd love to get some Saxony ducklings or hatching eggs but seem to be having a problem finding them. (Or maybe I'm being impatient. lol) Is anyone have any to sell? I'd prefer ducklings but will hatch them if I have to. Thanks! Gayle Ambrosini North Judson, IN Feel free to email me...

I'm located in Midwest Indiana and am looking for some Saxony ducklings or hatching eggs for my mini farm. Preferably ducklings but if I can't get them I'll hatch my own. Nope, never done it before. Will I try it? Yep. lol With all the research I've done I'm confident I can make it work. ;-)...
