    Food Scraps?

    My hens ate essentially the first stage for most of my compost (minus coffee grounds and moldy whatnot). What they don't eat mixes into the leaf litter and attracts wee critters which they do eat. I also teach and have started bringing home the waste from student lunches - lots of fruit...

    where can I get coturnix quail hens?

    Oh, I should mention that I live in Los Angeles and would be really greatful if anyone knows where I can buy adult female coturnix quail. I was so greatful for the help finding my first quail and now really want more. Much thanks!!!!

    where can I get coturnix quail hens?

    I need more quail but unfortunately Pet Source 1901 says that they don't have them anymore :( (one person I talked to said they will be hatching more the other said they hadn't carried them in over 6 months). So, do you know any other places where I can get them??? The ones I got there before...

    Muscovy - Boy or Girl???

    Much thanks! Of course now she has decided to go broody and spends all day in her nest of leaves wagging her tail at my hens and making squeaking noises. I keep stealing the eggs but that has not dissuaded her. We have no interest in ducklings, nor do we have a drake around to make it happen so...

    Muscovy - Boy or Girl???

    Soup is definitely a girl and check out the size of her first egg!!!!!! Oh and did I mention that she has grown into the sweetest of all of our ducks! Thank you all for your help determining that she is a she!!!!

    Muscovy - Boy or Girl???

    She has also turned into the sweetest of our three ducks, follows me around (she is the only one of our birds that can fly out of the run and so is completely free range when she gets bored of the flock) and loves to just sit in my lap and hang out.

    Muscovy - Boy or Girl???

    Soup has definitely grown into a lovely "She" - thank you all again for putting my mind at ease! I will have to find a pic to upload - I think she is gorgeous black irridescent green/purple feathers on her body with a mottled white head.

    Chickens Galore in Norco, Ca

    I just got two chicks from Chickens Galore (a little Copper Maran and a Light Brahma). I was passing through Norco after visiting family and wanted to check it out. I was there late so didnt have a chance to go to the back where their hens and breeders are, so I can't vouch for that side of the...

    Muscovy - Boy or Girl???

    Here is a pic I got of Soup this morning if it is helpful (I realize none of my other pics really showed the feet). I do love the feather patterns - If she is a mix what would she likely be mixed with? Thank you to everyone for sharing your knowledge - I am new to ducks and am so excited to...

    Muscovy - Boy or Girl???

    Hurray - you are the first to tell me that the females also hiss - that is a relief! Its not the angle of the pic - the tail really is that long, does that mean S/he is a mix? Your chocolate galls are beautiful!!! I didn't know muscovies came in so many colors.

    Muscovy - Boy or Girl???

    Great! Glad to hear that the ducks are pushy cause this little one sure has a big attitude. Much thanks for your response.

    Muscovy - Boy or Girl???

    Hello Jdywntr! Thank you for your response! It was a rescue, so we have no idea if it is pure muscovy or a mix. Fingers crossed that she is a she, and that she lays tasty eggs. We are worried that a male would be hard on our hens and much smaller ducks, thus we named Her/him "Soup" just in case...

    How do ducks fair in the winter???

    We have VERY mild winters here (Coastal Southern California- rarely drops below upper 30s) but I am still happy to find how much happier the ducks are about our winter weather than our chickens... Ducks love rain, chickens hate it. My wimpy chickens hole up in the coop at the slightest...
