Quote: Ducks are a hot commodity. Its not surprising to me that they sold quickly. Now that you have sold that many, the word is surely out and you will have a hard time keeping up. Im still interested in those eggs for Spring, so keep raising those ducks. As a side note my olive eggers...

Quote: You could make a raised bed with a liner, fill it with crushed granite, and make an aquaponics system with the koi. Here is my raised bed. It was almost dark when the picture was taken so sorry about the quality. Here is a cheap greenhouse I got at Lowes for 50% off today. It...

Quote: The muscovies are pretty big so a half dozen would be plenty to start with. Im jealous that you have so many ducks to eat. If you were closer I would buy some meat from you. I miss eating duck gumbo. It is rare that you find duck for sale in the grocery store. I used to hunt them...

Quote: To me that's still high BUT since I've never processed a duck before I don't know how much harder it is to do than chickens!! I'm just guessing that if you skin it, it can't be that much harder can it?? ETA: With 50 birds you'd really think they would give you a discount!! You're...

Quote: I wanted to get some call ducks. I like the looks of those and they supposedly have a nice disposition. I also like to eat ducks. I hear muscovys taste good so I might like some of those, but Im concerned about the disposition of the muscovies. I would only want from 10 to a dozen...

Quote: I wish you lived near Sulphur. I have some extra white silkie roosters that I need to get rid of. They are very beautiful chickens and very docile. I will need to take them to the sale barn in Dequincy soon because they fight amongst one another.

Hi everyone. Im interested in raising some ducks. This project will kick into gear for Spring and I was wondering if anyone had any in the SouthWest Louisiana area that might be willing to part with some hatching eggs come Spring. I could trade some silkie eggs or sebright eggs. I am also...

Quote: Pete, when I have time I attach the bag to our lawnmower and give each of my coops a bag of fresh cut grass. They go crazy over the grass!! It saves on feed on those days when I can give them grass. It's a real treat for them. Ive been crushing acorns for my chickens. They love them...

You just gave me a great idea for my chicken tractor.

Hi everyone, I just wanted to touch base. I've been without a computer for several weeks and just got back online. On the chicken front, my hussies (hens) are really laying well now and I have my happy hobbit (silkie) tractor out on the pasture doing its job. My next project will be...

Hatch update: The final tally for my hatch is 14. Half are brown leghorns and half are OEGBs. I helped a few out of the shell knowing that I wasn't supposed to do it. They seem to be doing ok. Several pipped but didn't hatch. Humidity is definitely the culprit. I will not be hatching...

Well the news is not good. I got home from work and only 12 out of 50 hatched. None of the penedesenca eggs hatched. The old adage is true not to count your chickens before they hatch. I will check again in the morning. The humidity in the house may be too low. Im not sure what the problem...

The hatch has started. I took a quick glimpse in the hatch tray and I have some brown leghorns hatching and some OEGB's hatching but it was only a quick glimpse so there could be more. There is cheeping coming like crazy from the incubator and its driving me crazy. They really weren't due to...
