Anyone Know of someone in the Missoula Area that sells hatching eggs? I am planning on hatching meat chickens for the first time this year and would prefer to purchase locally if possible. Also, looking for hatching ducks...lost 6 of my 7 gals to a raccoon family a few months ago. Otherwise, any...

I actually just put in a small plastic tub and brought it out there for about an hour at a time twice a day...I didn't want them to be able to jump right in and take a bath in it ;) Also, it was starting to freeze over after about an hour anyway...that was a nasty weather week! But yes! Good...

The Homesteader's Herbal Companion: The Ultimate Guide to Growing, Preserving, and Using Herbs by Amy Fewell https://www.amazon.com/dp/1493034154/?tag=backy-20 there was a good chapter or two just on herbs for poultry and livestock!

Just thought I would share this great idea for these extra cold and windy nights we have been having in NW Montana. A warm infused water t warm up thier insides. I just made it and gave it to my ducks and they loved it (I added fresh Lemon Balm and Catnip also!)

Hi! If there is a Murdochs near you, they have Chick days (I think starting in April) ...otherwise check craigslist or maybe on here...there is a farm near Hamilton I am planning on getting mine from this year. Also, you can mail order them, but it can be stressful. I mail order my ducks so i...

Hey North West Montanans...I have a duck with a bum leg I am looking to rehome. I feel awful even saying that. She is the sweetest thing. She slipped on ice over a month ago and has been in the house even since then. From what I am finding online, pretty much all bird rehab people around here...

I have 2 Cayuga's, 1 Khaki, and 1 Blue Swedish. Definitely getting afew more Blue Swedish this year! They are big and hearty for Montana winters, and I feel like she acts like the big sister, very protective of the others. Best part, she lays the biggest yolks! We have ours fenced off so the...

I have Ducks which I ordered through Metzer Farms (Only because ducks are a bit harder to come by) But if you have a Murdochs in Bozeman (I am over near Missoula) then they will have a huge selection of chicks in afew months, and if I remember correctly, some of the breeds were sexed. Last year...

Ughhh, yes, my garden was not very successful either...thanks for the response! Still giving it a week or so before I get real concerned

Hey all! Is anyone else still waiting for their Ducks (or Chickens) to start laying? I'm over near Missoula and am worried my ducks have delayed their laying because of how horrible the smoke was in my area for a month or so in July and August. They barely got any sun because the smoke was so...

Thanks! I had noticed this One! Just was seeing if anyone knew of places even closer. But this was probably my the option I was gonna choose! Thank you!!!!!

Hey guys...post for all you NW Mo tana peeps...looking for one or two ducklings to add to my 8 week old group of 4. Having a really hard time finding anything though and dont want to start with ducklings again at this point... Here is what is happening...we had one break a leg when she was 3...

Hey guys! Found this website with a great list of herbs and their benefits. The lady refers to them to give to both her chickens AND ducks! Most herbs are sooooo easy to grow yourself too! The second website attached is a tutorial about the herb satchels she makes to put in the...

Ughhhhh just be careful with it. We moved out to a spot on the Blackfoot last summer and there is Burdock EVERYWHERE! Its fine on the hill to the river, but the roots are sooooo thick that its impossible to get rid of and so we just have to walk around and cut it at the ground level at the...

So i love Pink Grizzly nursery in Missoula...thats where i bought my Russian sage last year (plus its a beautiful plant!) but I got it mid season. they have a huge selection of everything plant wise and are super helpful if you have any questions about planting... I bought my Lemon Balm...

Hey! I just got my very first ducklings this morning! I agree with you...its pretty hard to find info on ducks (or any waterfowl for that matter) compared to the plethora that is out there for chickens, but what I have come up with treats wise is that they will benefit from the same things. I'm...

Hey everyone! Looking for a local farm to get some ducklings from this summer. I'm outside of the Missoula area. It will be our first time with chickens or ducks, and I'm pretty excited. I did find a place in Hamilton that has chicks, but ducklings seem harder to find. I might just start with...

Hi everyone! I am new to the site and just have afew questions pertaining to finding chickens (and ducks) in Montana. I'm located in Missoula, and this is the first summer of my boyfriend and I having our own yard and we have been waiting to raise chickens for awhile now! We are looking at...
