No nipple waterers here. I have been thinking about ordering some for my (many) ducklings to use at night. In the day time, I let them outside with plenty of bowls for bathing, but they are soaking everything in their brooder box at night. It is always a filthy mess. Hah. I guess that means...
Hi everyone,
I have loads of birds to sell. I live about 20 minutes east of Indianapolis.
Here's the list:
Ducklings (Welsh X Khaki) - 7.00ea or all 6 for 35.00.
Guinea Keets (Pearl) - 7.00ea or 4 for 20.00.
3.5 mo. Old Cockerels (free, if you take them all!)
Bantam Dark Cornish...
Hi guys. Does anyone here have (or planning to have) any goose eggs for sale/trade?
I would like about 2-3. Any variety. I can pay cash, or trade the following chicks (assuming this week's hatch goes well!): silkies, mille and mottled bantam cochins, appenzellers, blue/black bantam polish...
Hi guys!
It's spring and I've got the chick-buzz going. My incubators are whirring away, but there are a few things I am looking for:
I would like a 2-4 turkey poults. I prefer any heritage variety, trying to stay away from anything double-breasted.
I am looking for a couple goslings -...
Hi Fellow Hoosiers!
I am currently incubating eggs for the very first time. I am very excited. If all goes well, I would like to keep incubating eggs all spring and summer. I hope to sell chicks and augment my flock. Do any of you have any eggs to sell? I prefer if you're in the Indianapolis...
I am possibly going to the Knox swap meet on Sunday. Is anyone else going? Got anything to trade? I would love to know what you have!
I am looking for many different types of birds. Including young laying hens (breed doesn't matter), true ameraucanas, sultans, silkies, buckeyes and polish.
Hi everyone,
I am considering selling my LF phoenix quad. They are from a hatchery, though I've been told that the hens are of nice quality. The rooster's tail points up like a leghorn's does. Unfortunately. He's still beautifully marked and very tame.
The rooster is a golden duckwing. There...

I don't know. But I'd be interested in hearing what's available around us! I don't feed organic, but I feel like my feed bill is painful. My flock of 35 +15 juveniles eats 10lbs per day.
Hi guys,
I am wondering if any of you have Welsh Harlequin ducks, ducklings, or hatching eggs?
I am also looking for some Polish hens, true Ameraucanas, a couple Silkie hens, and Buckeyes.
I am in the Indianapolis area, and will also be attending the swap at Knox in October.
Feel free to PM me with photos. I am offering a PRIMO free-ranging home, 33 hens, a beautiful coop, a stream to wade in! I just need to map how far you are from Winamac, Indiana. I'm a nervous driver so I probably won't go too far!
I still haven't been able to locate some nice hens to augment my flock's egg production. I am probably going to be making a trip up north to Winamac, Indiana (from Indianapolis) and wondered if any Hoosiers along my route might have some hens for sale. We'll be making the trip this weekend. We...

do you feel like the hoop coop is fairly safe for them...? any worries about raccoons/opposums/w/e?
I like the idea of a movable coop/tractor. Whether or not they need grass in the run, I just feel like they'd be happier and would be less likely to get bored and start picking on each...

Yeah, as far as work effort goes, they're pretty easy. I have a hoop coop so I don't even bother with wood shavings and I NEVER have to clean the coop. 5 gallon feeder needs filled once a week and water 1-2 times weekly. Poof, I'm done! I do let my chickens free-range, so every day I...

Well, no. Sometimes it just takes a little time to get the husband to realize that getting chickens was HIS idea the whole time.
LOL exactly! I started last night... We have a large dog run that came with the house that just gets moved around the yard. We have pieces to a shed we never...
I just got permission from my husband to buy a few more laying hens. So, do any of you have some hens or older pullets available? I'm looking for (healthy!) laying stock. I am only interested in standards though I am not picky about breed. I can offer no more than 10.00 per bird. I live 30...
