thank you all! we are talking about making a 'mini tractor' that I can move around and getting 3-5 laying hens (NO roosters) and then we will get keets again. We have a pond that was here when we moved in and am hoping i can convince hubs to fix the liner and enclose it so that I can have my...
I had four guinea keets and LOVED them. Unfortunately, my fault, I forgot to lock them up one night and lost them. I am so sad. I had 2 standard dark colored ones and 2 lavender. They were great - but hadn't learned to fly - so they would follow the goats into a 3 sided fenced area and...

Hello from Orange Grove (1 hour North of Corpus).
I moved from North Idaho to South Texas in October of last year. I didn't bring any of my birds with me :-( but we had purchased 5 guinea keets a while back cause the ticks are HORRID! Unfortunately, dummy me forgot to put them up last week...

Hello all -
I used to be on BYC - but have been gone for about a year. In October 2011 we received an amazing job offer and jumped on it. At the time we were living in North Idaho and had a nice size flock of layin chickens along with about 20 muscovey ducks (and of course my goats, cows...
i have tried everything to get the humidity higher. I just candled - there are at least 2 that I saw movement on - but I recounted - and day 33 would be tomorrow - so I will wait till then ... think I counted the day that I put them "in" as day 1 .....
Yes, I do - it has been around 50 with one plug only half way in and the other all the way in.
I am going to recount days - just to make sure, then I am going to make sure and candle again
I am supposed to lock down my bator today on my muscovey eggs and I am totally nervous. I have the reservoirs full of water - but I am worried my humidity might go low without filling .... is this not an issue?
I started with 12 eggs - I am down to 6 - but I think I only have 2 or 3 live :-(...
my scovies also are laying awesome! They are just turning a year old next month and they are on their 2nd and 3rd brood already for the year. I think if I would have pulled the hatchlings from May - she would be laying again already! I average 12 - 18 eggs per clutch
I don't see where the original poster said anything about turning loose or rehoming at the end of the summer - but wanting to get a good start on them over the summer ....
I personally do not feed my ducks numerous times a day. they, along with my chickens get to free range during the day and...
This boy was hatched here at the farm on May 19th. As he has been loosing his baby feathers - he has become quite unique to me and I am thinking he is a barred blue - but not sure what the exact coloring would be. Any ideas? His mom is white with minimal black and I am assuming his dad is my...
OMGosh - LOL! I am definitely over exaggerating on how fast the algea grows - but between my mastiff who thinks the pools are her personal bathtub to lay in, ducks cleaning themselves, and goats pooping in it periodically - oh and then we are on a well that likes to bring up bits of this and...
