I lost my khaki Campbell Drake the other day, if anyone has an extra please let me know. It was my fault. I had a duck who had a bad leg, and she was so miserable when I had her caged I figured there was no harm in leaving her out. I am guessing that something came and he tried to protect her.

For two people who never ate many eggs, my hubby and I now eat eggs 4 or 5 days a week. And the other days we have French toast or some other egg consuming dish. And I scour Allrecipes.com for recipes that include eggs, the more the merrier. I don't bake any where near enough to use my duck...

I try to keep the babies at least two weeks so mom can teach them about life. These babies are a week old, and I have another set that are two months old. The buyer is anxious for them to be ready to go!

Good morning, Quick picture of one of my bantam cochin and her week old babies, out in this cold! It never ceases to amaze me the difference between raising them in a brooder vice a broody... I have to say, I am proud of my cats. We have seven barn cats and they walk by the chickens all the...

How are the babies doing? You could try scrambled eggs? Or yogurt? I always had good luck with the nutri drench.

I hatched 33 chicks and 5 ducklings this year in the coop. The first ones I tried to separate and the momma was giving me issues, so after that I just let them go. The only issue I had was it set a pattern, first one, then two then five broodies. (I started sharing eggs so I wouldn't have a...

I have some adorable cochin/silkie mix roosters that need homes. I have them listed at just $5. Three will be large fowl, and the red is a bantam. They are four months old. I live in Oxford (Granville County). Janelle

Wow, this thread has gone quiet! How am I supposed to live vicariously if no one is posting? My spring babies are growing out nicely, so far only two are crowing and will need new homes, but I am sure there are more that are just staying quiet. I do have some week olds running around, to...

They are definitely barnyard mix. I have a bantam cochin and a silkie rooster. A majority of my hens are bantam cochin, two large fowl cochin plus one silkie and a couple of sizzles. But they are adorable. My hens were brooded in the house, so having these 30 babies brooded and raised free...

I have chicks too! I went on vacation in April and my farm sitter wasn't brave enough to take eggs away from broody hens, so I have 30 little feather foots on the ground, from 3 - 6 weeks old. They are all so adorable, I am going to hate finding them new homes, but I don't want to build...

Sorry ya'all are stealing germs from the wee ones! Try to relax and get better. Thank you for the advice on LGD, I kinda thought a "herd" dog was the wrong way to go. I will just try to help her fid homes for them instead! And I will find my own LGD. We had decent weather yesterday, we...

Good morning all. First, I have to say I liked your story CSB and Moss Farm that looks great! I am hoping for an opinion or three. I have chickens and ducks and will so have fainting goats (and two horses, two yorkies, four cats and my DD pitt), and I have been losing birds to hawks. I...

Good morning! I love this cooler weather, the chickens are happy, the ducks are happy and the horses are happy! DH and I are able to work on putting a pasture in without worrying about heat stroke. Just had a fun moment. I heard the horses making noise and I looked out and I had one too...

Good morning all! On the subject of screws. I like deck screws. They seem to go in well, and I don't have to worry about them rusting. I usually get the tan ones, we try to keep 2", 2 1/2" and 3" on hand, cuz you never know when you will need to use one. They are a little more expensive...

Well, that depends, I don't think it was a cochin or silkie egg, because it was a little too big, I think. And they are at five months. If it was the Wyandotte, I don't know, the person I got Queenie from didn't know when she was hatched. But it may be a silkie egg, why you ask? Well...

Okay, I know this is silly, but I am proud.. I GOT MY FIRST EGG TODAY! It is a fairly decent size, so I am going with my LF Wyandotte, vice my silkie. My DH called it my thousand dollar egg...probably what I have invested so far in coop and birds and food...So tomorrow I will get a five...

Good morning North Carolina. Another hot day today, and then some cooler, wetter weather is coming our way! Welcome back Ally! It is great that you were able to move back into your same home. Hope everyone has a great day! JW

CSB--I can't believe you are bringing Christmas up already! And Cricket, Double A does take roos and sends them to freezer camp. I was lucky yesterday and found someone who didn't have any chickens (they were here for my ducks), but thought my extra silkie roos were adorable. So she took them...

They have found a new home...

@Country Chickens --I already have a 3 rooster to 1 hen ratio in my silkies and I am looking for new homes for two of my roosters, but if you ever decide to just sell a paint hen or two, please let me know as they are currently the only thing on my "want list". JW
