I stopped in there once and decided that I was not going to buy any chicks from them. When I went into the trailer to look at them, I was appalled. There were chickens in short little cages that were too tall for the cage. Not to mention they were panting since they were basically fully...

Sorry, guess I should have mentioned where I am. I live in Gray, Maine.

It's been a very long time since I've been on here. I ended up having to give away all my chcikens and ducks last year Now I would like to get some more chickens and maybe ducks. Where should I order the chicks from? I don't really want to wait until June to get some, through Paris Farmers...

I also need to re-do my water warmers. For those who use buckets or containers with chicken water nipples on them, I would suggest fish tank heaters. I have one of the C. E. Schmidt jackets and I love mine, I have the purple one. Figure that's what the washer is for, and purple is my favorite...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! Good luck digging out as well. Not sure how much snow we have here in Gray, I'll measure it when I go out to shovel. Sure looks pretty but my chickens do not like this "poisonous white stuff".

I'm with you guys, my chickens are molting as well. We are only getting a couple of eggs a day out of 15 hens. Some are bantams and some are larger. Every now and then I go out and it looks like a pillow exploded in the coop, poor babies. At least it's now and not in the dead of winter. I've...

I'm in Gray, by Windham.

Where does everyone buy their straw from and how much do you usually pay? I'm trying to figure out what we are going to do for the winter.

Ash--I'm really sorry to hear about your polish hen, the kids must be heartbroken. We love ours and I can't imagine if something happened to them, Darcy would be beside herself. She loves picking them up and talking to them, and they make cutest sounds back. I will pm you and we can talk...

I need to send you pictures of the chickens and ducks you sold us. Love them all! You wouldn't happen to sell me a few of your Cochin eggs would you?? I'd like my little one to have some friends. I think we may have ended up with one of each on the polish. Again, I need to send you pictures...

Hello and Welcome to BYC!! What kind of chickens do you have?

My daughter and her polish. I think we may have gotten lucky and ended up with one rooster and one hen.

So we got our ducks today. My kids and I built them a new home in two days. Cost us about $15 for screws, hinges, and a latch. Our next coop to build will be for our sweet little Sultans. They will go in a coop in the garden.

We have about 30 chickens and will be adding ducks soon. My question is where can I get bulk feed? I usually do FF for them so I'd like a good variety of feed. I'm tired of buying 50 pounds bags. I in the Gray-New Gloucester area. Also, can ducks and chickens eat the same food? I don't usually...

I also had to pull the video up a different way and was very sad when I saw it. I understand that sometimes one or two little ones get pasty butt and if you have them outside that maybe there is one or two flies. But that was sad! I was slightly concerns that this was on Animal Planet. It did...

How friendly are the Swedish ducks???

To be honest you probably don't need to insulate. As long as there are no drafts and ventilation you should be fine. I have one coop that is insulated, with plywood covering it, and one that is not. They both stayed the same temps during the winter.

I just want to mention that I have a couple ads on Craigslist for some of my chickens. 1 white silkie rooster, 3 OE/EE hens and a mutt roo, and a sweet little one that is from an EE mom with a mutt dad. Also 3 black sizzle chicks. We are making room for our new Sultans and ducks. I also have...

I I'm thinking that is like some if the Anconas.

Pets mostly. What do duck eggs taste like? Maybe even for breeding and selling as well, but if I breed and sell I want nice ducks.
