Oh wow thanks for putting all the time into that 😲!! I’ll check those out!

Oh interesting! I just clicked your link and I should mention - I am in Canada. So I can’t join that group because it’s US specific. But that’s a good idea and I’ll check to see if I can find a Canadian version. Thanks!!

Yeah that makes sense, I mean I also get a huge variation of temperament with my roosters so it makes sense that it would be the same with drakes!! Also sorry about your fawn and white male :( it’s always such a hard decision when the peace of other members of the flock is at stake. I’ve had to...

Okay yeah that’s what I was thinking too. I wanted to have at least 3 females but that’s good to know that you’d say at least 4. This guy is only willing to sell me 2 females if I also take two males which would leave me with 3 females for only 2 males. So sounds like I’ll have to turn him down :/

Hm interesting!! I might look into that if I can’t find any adults! Thanks :)

Ah yes that’s basically what I figured. I don’t want to leave my duck alone for that long so I’ll continue my search for some adults for her. I was aware of the ratios for male/female, I actually was talking to one guy who has runner ducks for sale but he will only sell me them 1:1 male/female...

Hey guys! So last spring I bought 4 welsh harlequin ducklings, we recently lost all but one female to a predator attack :( My one female has been hanging out with the chickens but I can tell she is lonely and I really want to get her some new duck friends asap. I’ve been searching kijiji and...

Also, I don’t really know how to properly use the quote feature on this forum lol. But I really relate to what you said there about it really driving you to make sure they have a great life. I felt quite an obligation to make sure I was being the best chicken keeper I could be and that I...

Oh thanks that’s all super helpful information! I’m curious about trying a brine, I’ve read that it also makes the meat a bit juicier and more tasty so that will be on my list of things to try. Also yeah, I agree with you about the one bad day and an otherwise great life. When I look at my...

Thank you so much! Congratulations and condolences feels very appropriate to this event for me. And those are all really helpful points about the moral/emotional side of things. I’ve thought of basically the same stuff myself, because I’ve really thought this decision through for a while, but it...

Hey guys, I’m super new to all of this - was actually vegan for most of my life lol so as you can imagine this is all a big shift for me 😂 Anyway I had a few questions, a) I’m having a hard time emotionally about having to kill my roosters and was wondering if anyone had any tips/advice on...

I just looked it up, so I guess I am quite a lot more west than south haha. I’m closer to calabogie and renfrew! I’m in a very small town called Griffith!

Hey, not sure if this is all that helpful cause I’m not sure of the quality of their birds, but I have 5 Liege’s that I raised from eggs that I bought from DC heritage poultry in Quebec. I’ve read some very mixed reviews on them but they are the only place I’ve found in Canada to get a lot of...

Hey! Just found this thread! I’m about 1.5hrs SW from Ottawa 👋 I’m currently trying to find some good quality welsummers with dark, speckled eggs. If anyone knows any breeders/has any that they sell eggs/chicks/pullets from let me know!! 😄

Oh good luck! Can’t wait to see them 🤩

Thank you!! I’m so excited to watch them grow into a bunch of cool birds! Baby silkies must be SO cute and fluffy haha 🥰

9 total hatched, 1 still in the incubator but no signs of life so I think this may be it :) great hatch, 9/10 that went into lockdown, 9/14 total (3 infertile, 1 quit around day 7) no one needed any assistance and all chicks seem super healthy!! I’m so happy! 🥰🥰 Pics: 1: orloff 2: mosaic 3...

Here’s some pics! 6 hatched now, waiting on 4 :) In these pics: Blue laced Wyandotte 2 Icelandic Wheaten/blue wheaten ameraucana Speckled Sussex Mosaic

4 hatched (including the one icelandic I was worried about!!) 5 more pipped! 🥳🥳

Okay thank you for your opinion I really appreciate it!! I am a pretty big over-thinker sometimes so can be hard to discern when my intuition is actually right haha 😂 I’ll keep an eye on her tonight
