    My three female mixed breed ducks need a new home. They are simply too noisy for my neighborhood. They are approximately three years old. All of them were broody this summer but we didn't let any of their eggs hatch. If you have more space than I do and are interested in giving Edna, Louise and...

    Beyond deviled eggs~

    I need to make something (not too complicated) to take to an outdoor brunch/lunch tomorrow. I can certainly make deviled eggs but would love to branch out if anyone has a favorite recipe for an event like this. It will be the kind of thing where you sit in your camp chair balancing your plate on...

    Duck eggs in chickens' nest box

    Two mornings in a row we have found a duck egg in one of the nest boxes in our coop. I have seen our khaki campbell duck standing on top of the feed can so I know she can get up high enough. She had been laying in a corner of the coop on the floor so this is a new thing. Is this unusual?

    I have peepers peeping!!

    Just had to share!! There are only a few but in a few days the whole chorus will be singing. They seem to be late this spring. The robins are back and the crocus are blooming. Spring may really be coming. Okay, it's COLD, but we're getting there!

    I love my ducks too!

    I just picked up three Blue Swedish cross hens last Sunday. They are in my garden shed in a huge dog pen in isolation. I have four other ducks, a pair of Khaki Campbells and a pair of Blue Swedish. So when everyone is integrated I will have 2 drakes to 5 hens, an improvement over the 1/1 ratio I...

    My new additions* formerly ducks wanted in Eastern CT

    Hi everyone, we'd like to add two more female khaki campbells to our small backyard flock. We currently have two pairs of ducks and need more females! We also have blue swedish and would consider females of that breed as well. Young adults would be our preference. Thanks!

    : ( waiting for the vet to call

    He saw our Aussie Monday afternoon. Jack has slowed down over the last month and suddenly last week started having a really tough time getting around. The vet found a mass on his liver and long story short, Jack is having a tough time breathing this afternoon. He had seemed like he was...

    goat and sheep together-planning for the future

    I've searched and can't find a quick answer in the many pages that come up. My question is, can one goat and one sheep keep each other company? Or does it depend on individuals. I'd love to have one Nigerian Dwarf doe to possibly milk one day and a Shetland Sheep. We really don't have room for...

    OSV is a recreated 1830s village in Massachussetts. We're members and go every few months, more often in the warm weather! We went today since we are all on vacation from school. Here are a few pictures of some of the animals at the Village. I can't believe they've had their first lambs born...

    Could this be a duck egg?

    Two mornings in a row I have found an egg on the floor of my coop. I only have one chicken who lays a white egg, and it is a very white egg. Both mornings there has been a very white egg in one of the nest boxes. The egg I'm trying to ID is just different somehow. The shell feels smoother and...

    The store where I buy feed is getting chicks this spring

    They didn't sell any last year, the year I was looking to buy chicks for the first time. I just went to buy dog food today and there was the sign "Have you ordered your chicks yet?" My husband was waiting in the car. He took the news well when I told him I ordered 6 chicks with someone else last...
