As far as integrating, there are many different ways to do so, but will give you my successful experiences. Raise up those babies indoors until you can't take it anymore, and put them out in a separate pen, and where the free ranging hens can see them. When they get adjusted to the outdoors...

LOL to you Bucka, and good luck with Uncle's. Had a list a mile long from responses, hopefully people are still looking. If you are willing to sell them as meat birds, you would have a lot more luck. Just discovered one of my chicks is not a chick but a cockerel, he was disguising himself...

Bucka, did very well with Uncle Henry's online, you can post for free. Sold ALL my ducklings, chicks and guinea keets from there.

You are right, I was wrong about the night guards. I had a big point credit with Amazon, so did only pay about $25 for four. There are sites that sometimes have great sales for as much as half off the standard $20, will keep my eyes open and post here if I run across one. They appear to wok...

Thanks LG, it was for the best, she had brutalized one of my hens as well, almost stripped her bare of feathers. Can't have it, and can' be constantly disciplining and refuse to tie a dog up. She will be better off with a field hunter, and everyone will be happy. We cried when the breeder...

I will double check on where I got the night guards, it may not have been Amazon, ordered a mess of stuff, so will have to check. Just know they were super cheap, got 4 for like $25 dollars, will let y'all know....

Well now, a lot to talk about here! Ash, what were you rooked into doing another hatch for? I had great success with the duck hatches, only lost 3 eggs midway out of about 75 or so, so very successful, but I am DONE for the year. All healthy and in good family homes, so thrilled! Let's see...

Yes! The Robbins is lovely stuff. The have on the bag where the wood comes from, Royal that is, could be anywhere from Canada to Virginia.

Have the same issue, and have reported it to www.royalwoodshavings.com, as we all should. Robbins Lumber is putting out some beautiful stuff, get your store to compete for price.

Noticed it as well, the black compressed bags, yes? And quite a lot of black chunks, a few handfuls. Just picked up a bag from Wentworths in Brooks, clear bag, processed by Robbins Lumber. Looks absolutely pristine. So request whoever you deal with to get that in for you.

Thank you so much, will check with our store. Always thought the pig farmers just came and scooped it all up, so will def check.

I have two RIR roos if you are still looking. Hatched 4/21 and nicely feathered, hand raised and friendly. From Meyer's Hatchery, Marek's vacc. & certified clean flocks.

Sorry so late in replying. Do you have to call ahead for that discarded produce, or do they just put it out back somewhere?

A friend of ours told me yesterday that there was a big hatchery fire midwest somewhere. Apparently he was in Aubuchon in Belfast, they were expecting guinea keets, and had a sign up saying they would not be coming due to the fire. He thought it was McMurray, but I have not been able to find...

Awwww, love the baby goats, they are just like rambunctious children. Always sorry we never got into it .years ago, would be too much for us now. As far as hardy chicken breeds in Maine, do agree that those with large combs and wattles tend to have problems with frostbite. If you don't mind...

I got a message from your friend and responded, so thank you and Ash too for remembering me. Jill

Hi Ash, it's me, the one with the duck in the roasting pan. Ducklucky from Monroe. Your friend did send me a message, but unfortunately, I don't think it would be healthy to break up my little flock, they are pretty tight and afraid they would pine for their sisters just as much. But have a...

Yay, Ash, been a while since I've posted here, but still alive and well, well. There is Dixondale Farms out of Texas online, they have some wonderful varieties of storage onion plants, just ordered a mess of them, and free shipping. The more you order, the lower the price. Great deal, I...

Does the pine branch thing work for ducks too? Mine are soooo tired of being in their little barn, and the Pekins are starting to pick on the Buffs. Any suggestions for distractions? They refuse to set foot outside in the snow.

You are so lucky that your Pekin "went all the way." Just do not trust mine after the massacre of a few months back. Yeah, that's a problem, their big old flappers will mush those newborns. Might want to bring the remaining in and put them in the bator. Is she tending to the survivor and the...
