    Are Emus Right For Me?

    I find them more timid and less friendly but not really aggressive... That is not really an issue with emus unless its a dad with a chick in which case prepare to be terrifyingly attacked for no reason as long as he can see you. This is the reason why emus should not be in welded wire fence if...

    Are Emus Right For Me?

    you should not keep them in the same area as goats, goats are evil and will eat their feathers til they are practically naked. You should make sure any chicks and goslings cannot access the emus or vice versa because emus will toss them in the air for fun and kill them. On a side note emus can...

    Urgent: Need 1000 Muscovy Ducklings

    So he has a confirmed buyer for 1k 10 week muscovies? The meat shops down here prefer the full size slow grown adults and in terms of meal quality {not profit} they are right to do so. IMHO he should start with a smaller more reasonable number like 1-3 hundred or try several different types of...

    Urgent: Need 1000 Muscovy Ducklings

    I would wait a month and just place the order for some of the french strain online if you arent gonna bother trapping them. Which you should since they are invasive and it will save thousands of dollars while doing nothing but good. To clarify only get french if the goal is meat. Get any other...

    Urgent: Need 1000 Muscovy Ducklings

    What the actual hec do you need 1000 ducks in the middle of winter for? That would probably require a special order 1 month in advance. Also 1 week old is past prime shipping time so you would be looking at a pickup if day olds are not an option. You need to give a location for us to help you...

    i'm hoping to get restarted with quail, but i have 2 problems to solve before i do.

    I assume you are aiming for just a few buttons? You can feed them chick starter. I used to give mine turkey starter (unmedicated). I dont think there is any need to buy expensive game bird feed for anything but maybe chicks and even then it not an absolute necessity. In my experience if it...

    Duck imprint

    I once raised a chicken in a large glass cage less than 2 yards from my bed and although i only played with it as a baby it still thought it was human once it was full sized and put out to pasture. If there were ever a bird i would be okay with treating as a dog it would be raised this way...

    Are there any Amish that sell white and colored pigeons ?

    I don't think the Amish people have non USPS contact info. That said find your nearest Amish guy preferably with any pigeons at all and ask them, as I assume they have better networking with each other than we do with them.

    emu compatible egg turner?

    I read that emu eggs need to be incubated sideways and turned 360 but the emu egg sized turning trays are only in the standard configuration and dont do 360. Because of this most places say to hand turn but i know this is something where will lack consistency. So i was wondering if a gas station...

    Thoughts on Chinese cabinet style alternative incubators with roller type turner from Aliexpress to be used with large emu and possibly ostrich eggs.

    Does anyone have experience with or advice on to give regarding any of these incubator types. Any other comments or thoughts would be appreciated also. I dont need something huge just big enough to fit a fair amount of ratite eggs in, I wont be doing mass hatches of smaller birds, no more than...
