It is official ...the white chanticler roosters got the boot from the duck house and either need a new home or they will be sold for meat on craigslist. Any takers? Also have a nice Americana roo.

Quote: I have 5 white chantecler Roos that are slated for butcher in the spring...just to cold to deal with before then. If somebody wanted them I would sell, but until then they are contributing warmth to my duck house.

No, I'm full up. I have 4 Muscovies, 4 Welsh Harlequins, 3 geese, and about 24 chickens. I'm wishing that I could pare the flock down some more, but we have customers that pay well for fresh eggs. It just about covers their feed. We drove through Chickaloon this summer. It looked like the...

I was on craigslist the other day and saw chickens out in Chickaloon for sale. They looked like Bonnie's flock. Bonnie, are you selling out?

Welcome Danielle!! I have Muscovy ducks and they did well over the winter. We have an insulated but not heated coop for them. If I lived where you do, I think I would put in some type of heater for when it drops below -15 or -20. You can tell by their behavior usually how they are doing. Try...

Paula, They have solid ends with two holes in the top end. They are not like the metal barrels with rims and solid lid. These barrels come from a car wash and contained car washing soap and possibly wax. If you go on SS and find the thread about a cheap bee hive idea, that is what the barrels...

Thanks! That will save valuable garden space. I might be able to get some more plastic barrels. Are you interested in any?

I guess you are right. I don't do Facebook so I am out of the loop. Do you just plant directly on the ground and cover with layers of straw and manure added on top?

I'm SO glad you got the bator stuff figured out. How many RIR eggs you got in there? I don't think anyone is intentionally ignoring you. Conversation on this thread seems to be a bit disjointed in the last months. I for one have been SSSSOOOO busy with working my head off at my folks ranch...

Paula, How long do you think it was at that temp and which thermometer were you using? The fan is working right? Sorry I missed your post. You know you can call if you need anything, right? Somewhere along the line, usually in the last part of the second week, the embryos begin to generate...

Ak Tomboy, are you moving to Eagle River? Did any of you happen to pop over and read the links Paula posted? I didn't see any comments, so I just wondered. She really really has terrific news!!

My son's duck has a frostbitten foot. Anyone have any thoughts? https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=457265

That does sound like fun. Paula, I saved potatoes I bought at farmer's market last year--blues and peanuts. I also have some reds and yukon golds from the grocery store. I have planted grocery store potatoes many times and had marvelous harvests.

Doing okay. One of the muscovies started laying and I had to fix up a dark nest box. She loves it. I am looking forward to the new ducks and geese coming in a couple of months. I ordered chickens from Sandhill (Dels, white chanteclers and some assorted heavies to fill out the order) and I am...

AIH in Anchorage is on Old Sewared north of International drive.

Thanks for the advice Paula and Donna. I think that is what I will do. I got my confirmation letter from Sandhill Preservation. They said they are pretty tightly booked for the Delawares and White Chanteclers for the times I had asked for, so we will see. I also ordered some Welsh...

I invited a couple of red chanticlers to dinner the other day. One went to the refridgerator and the other to the crockpot. I have been feeding them the barley and salmon meal from Budget feed, which they all like. However I'm not happy with the meat. It smells strongly of fish and eating fishy...

Quote: Ummm...turns out they weren't doubles. She has only been laying a couple of weeks. I wish I had five more of her.

No kidding!!!

They are double yolkers. She has been laying one about every 3 days.
