I just enjoy sharing the eggs. I give some to our youth pastor every week, 3 pregnant ladies who need healthy eggs, 1 or 2 who have had health issues. What could be more satisfying? We enjoy a life that most of the world can only dream of. Time to be content and grateful for what we have.

What is gapeworm?

He throws his head back & walks backwards periodically. yes it is 1 of your beautiful ducks.

I need duck help but not sure how to get it. Think my duck has something caught in his throat. I think the wood shavings may be broken down too much & mixing with his food. Will take them out & put in hay. But how do I help him now?

Well, I'm going to try to not worry, but when you have little 5 yr olds all waiting for the eggs to hatch, you don't want to disappoint them. I did investigate last year why some of the fully formed chicks did not hatch.. Can't say there was a lot of "water" inside, the membrane seemed "tough-...

I'm having a terrible time maintaining a constant humidity (acc. to my thermometer/hygrometer)!! Temp is great but I can have the humidity at 55 at 4 PM when I leave school. When I get back in at 8 AM, the humidity has gone down to the teens. The school turns down the heat overnight. Is that the...

Thanks for responding featherz & (north of glens falls person)! My computer is "funny" again so I am quickly writing while it is working. If possible I can meet you both on Mon. at some point. If you can text me about a time at 518 391-9087 that would be great! Still would like a few white eggs...

Wondering if anyone within 2 hours of Saratoga NY would have some fertile eggs I could buy to use for 2 classroom hatchings.-2 doz or so. Can be mixed. Need some with light colored shells so we can candle easily. Had trouble with my computer so just getting on. Need fresh eggs by April 21 or so...

I live in Ballston Spa but need some fertile eggs for classroom hatching in Troy. Would I be able to stop by tomorrow to pickup whatever you have? Karen

I always do this! Forget to mention who I am talking about! Age has really crept up on me! Referring to "featherz" picture.

I've always loved your chick picture. What breed is that chick you have as your "trademark" (Not sure what else to call it!) K.............

Your pictures are outstanding! Love the fog one! K............

Thanks for all the advice about my "peeping Tom" rooster. I didn't really want to clip him as I like him to some defense mechanism. I like the advice about the deer netting over the top of the fenced in area. Sounds do-able. So pharmchickrnmom wins the prize!!! What do you all use in your fenced...

Have a question. I have a rooster that figures out how to fly over the 10' high fence every night. He doesn't get along well with the other rooster in the coop so I don't blame him for wanting to leave. Too much of a pain to cover the top just to keep him in. Problem is he has taken to sleeping...

Thanks for all the advice and info about the "killers".I appreciated your straight forward responses and think that my husband is finally taking my concerns seriously. It's very frustrating to put all the time and effort into raising them, only to have something get them because of sloppy...

Well something visited us again last night. Didn't get out in time. One hen missing it's head. Does that mean it is definitely a fox? Never seem to see it come or go. I have a few birds who manage to not stay in at night. The fence is very high but I was worried anyway. My husband (whose family...

Referring to my silkie!

Well I think mine's a girl but whatever it's beautiful and my husband's favorite. We had something sneak by about 5 nights ago and lost 1 or 2 of the flock. The fence was down and The rest scattered far and wide. Managed to round almost all of them up and moved them to another coop area which in...

I loved the pictures of all the silkies posted a few days back. I only have one beautiful white silkie from all the eggs hatched back in mid march. I'm not sure what it is. All the other chicks are obviously hens or roos. Should he be crowing by now if he is a roo?. I really am not sure how you...
