He was bugging me to get quail eggs. Okay, so I get him a dozen jumbo coturnix eggs. He didn’t tell me that he ordered 60 eggs. Some jumbo wild and jumbo white. Still not that scary . Today the eggs arrived..They put 30 extra eggs in . 90 eggs in addition to the 12.. I wasn’t planning on that...

Bought a dozen midget white turkey eggs at a swap meet last month...or so I thought. Started to hatch today,lost one that was midget white just after hatch. So I am currently left with this little guy. Pretty obviously not a MW or bourbon red which are also in the incubator.

Got my new 32 egg HHD incubator today. Set it up ...and since I am a sucker I already bought eggs at a swap meet yesterday. Also had some from my own girls. 12 midget white eggs and 11 bourbon red ( one had a crack) . Hope my girls and Roger are fertile, as they are just a year old and it’s...

Ideal reshipped me five pullet chicks that died during the first shipment. I thought they might add five or so males... Boy was I wrong. THey added no less than 10!!! extras. All light and buff Brahmas roos. THey were even nice enough to wrie down what pullets they shipped. I got Ideal 236, a...

I am seeing some Wyandotte - silver laced maybe?, two easter eggers and they black one with the white spot on the head, could they be barred rock? THey are all supposed to be female- it was the Ideal surprise special. THe really light one I am pretty sure is a Wyandotte.

I ordered a pullet surprise from Ideal, a dozen of them. They were shipped yesterday and should be here tomorrow(unless the mail lady didn't call and she has them in the car). So with 12 ordered how many extras could I expect? I have a small /medium brooder set up with momma naked neck waiting...

Hi I got a two week old Embden gosling(out of 10) that overnight developed issues walking . It just sits there and if it tries to walk I falls over and just flails around. Could this be a Niacin issue? They are outside during the day in a 8x8 hoop coop and at night they go in the shed in a...

I online ordered on sunday and called them on Mondays for ASAP delivery. They should be shipped today. My bank shows the money will be taken out tomorrow(shows that since Monday). THe lady said they would ship, but I have not gotten a invoice with a ship date or a call. Of course they are out...

So this little chick is driving me nuts . They are about 5-6 weeks now and I still have no clue what this one is. I don't think its (SHE???) a OEGB, the comb seems to be wrong. I don't think its single comb, looks lore like a pea comb to me. THis chick is clean legged, has no puffy cheeks...

I want to use my 3x4 coop as a brooder for my three week old chickens, broilers and ducks. Can I use a heat lamp the is securely mounted in it? I could do 2-3 60 watt bulbs or 1-2 125 Watt bulbs. I could screw the brooder lamps into the 2x4s. One of my lamps already has a guard or make a...

[/IMG] Had to share the pic of the tiny little ducking we picked up from tsc last week. It stood out in the bin so of course it came with us. The kids claimed it into pet status right away. It has a bit of a odd stance and slightly curled outer toes. So sometimes it falls over the feet while...

That's the view out the backdoor,so you can see the ground level layout from top. I want to build a 8x12 coop shed(red blotch) with a 40x55 run in where the yellow line shows. Mostly wooded. Yay or nay? Hubby thinks its not good because of the tree , because a hawk could sit on it. I think...

Well after months of waiting and stressing out , my husbands percentage finally came in. The Army gave him 70% disability and the VA found him to be 100% disabled . Now we just have to wait for his retirement papers and then we can haul our self out of here. He got 70 % for PTSD and bipolar ...

So as many of you know our Army life will come to and end soon. Just waiting on the percentage and then we will hightail it as soon as possible. After spending what seems forever looking for something out in the country for a decent price that we can pay off fast, we finally found something...

So we are just about done living the Army life. Ordered all my poultry and livestock. Now I am thinking, boy that a LOT of sheds and coops to build- maybe some can share their digs. We are getting broilers, some bantams( got that coop) about a done LF layers, a trio of Swedish ducks(need their...

Got to rant a bit. My husband George(44) is a US Soldier since 1996 , been deployed to the Balkans and almost deployed to Afghanland in 2010. During the pre deploy check ups they found he had Type 2 diabetes and they didn't let him go even though he wanted to go. And from there his health went...

What is the broodiest duck breed that I can get from the regular hatcheries? I can add to a order I got with Meyer or McMurray or make a new one preferable with Cackle. We will already get some Swedish and some pekins(jumbos too), but neither seem to be a particular broody breed. I ordered...
