That is certainly clear enough to see what is going on! Thanks!

I, once again have had all my smaller poultry picked off. I finally found the one thing a coon can't resist and will go into a trap for. Three raccoons down, two to go. Marshmallows are the magic lure. I am not getting any more chickens or small ducks until I get some electric netting fence...

Weighing in on the soap making. I make it with a hand held immersion blender, short bursts, gentle stir in between. It is a fascinating process to take lye and oil and wait for all the molecules to find each other, bond, and make something new. Find a good book or online site, follow...

Did you really have any doubt? You do beautiful work.

Only the chicken math was left oit of this. http://tv.naturalnews.com/v.asp?v=EADC17C55558EC771C29B1DCA1C1EC92

To the bleach question: I use vinegar for a cleaner. Once you get to the clean part of the process after plucking, keep everything super clean, clean between birds, not just your surfaces, but also your knife. Just as soon as you're done gutting, and ave gotten the lungs out get the chicken...

Sweet rewards to come for your work!

SCG, It has been my experience that the drakes will kill the banty and the duckling will probably get stomped. I would either put one pair or the other in confinement, or off the drakes.

IN my dreams it is not going to be wet and cold at Windsor tomorrow. See ya all there. I'll be the one with 20 layers of clothes on.

Oh, so sorry Ash, that sucks. I have predator problems here too.

For those of you going to the show this weekend, I'll be sitting on my arse (sigh) with 50/50 raffle tickets, and getting kids to run around selling them. Please stop by and say Hi! Julie

This is a copy and paste from Als Quackery: Just a heads up, there are some poultry diseases spreading in NH and their swaps have been shut down. Here is a link to their page http://chickenswapsofnh.com/ I also have contact info if anyone wants to know more details. I am simply advising people...

HI JustPJ, I would try Annabessacook. http://www.annabessacookvet.com/ They are in Monmouth. Most all large animal vets I have had have treated any type of livestock when they are here. You can get really good help and advice here on this forum, there are experienced people that are always...

Yesterday I sold my young male gander att he swap, my yard is so quiet today with just the pair again After buying two Americana pullets and three water gadgets from Hoppi I was only one dollar short of what i went to the swap with, a first for me, LOL. When adding to one flock I have found it...

Oh, that must have been fun to watch, Call ducks?

I tried a few when I first set up the incubator, placing them one the mesh and hand turning them, I candled at a week and did not see anything so I blew them out and gave them to Hoppy to craft with. If my goose keeps laying I am going to try the same method you are talking about. I know a...

The Central Maine Bird Fanciers meeting today. I did well, I sat on my hands so one of them would not go up when they auctioned of two different pairs of bantams.I just have no where to put them right now. I have not even figured out where I am going to put the chickens that are hatching right...

....stopping to get cash on my way to the meeting, LOL.

I love being able to hop on here and get advice, thanks to those willing to give it! Out of the 6 eggs I left in the incubator, two hatched yesterday afternoon. How long should i leave the remaining eggs to give them a chance?
