Help we are looking for ideas: we want to build a fence for our cow and possibly the goats too. But we want the LGDs to be able to enter the field and leave to be able to protect the animals inside the pasture as well as in the front area of our property. We also have a large chicken coop in the...

Anyone in the North Central Florida area (Ocala, Dunnellon, Gainesville, etc) area interested in trading some hatching eggs? I would be interested in my same breeds. Or in new breeds that are LF. If new breds anything but silkies, or naked necks. I have Legbars, LF and Bantam Dark Cornish...

These are our coops. They have automatic water system that keeps fresh water to the birds. I'm so lucky to have a handy husband who will build my chickens these lovely homes.

Is there anything I can do to help my momma duck? She's a Pekin that hatched four ducklings yesterday. Well last night, I believe our Great Pyr puppy, who's never harmed a bird before, took the ducklings from the nest. We found them scattered around the yard this morning. Two were alive and I...

Another thought; does chicken breed make a difference in temps needed? This is a different breed than my last hatch in this incubator, that was on the same settings, that went really well last time. Or could a particular batch of eggs have poor results? If the eggs were less fresh at time of...

Incubation/hatching trouble shooting question... I'm having a hatch right now, and about half (4 so far) the chicks are coming out(without assistance of any kind) with their yolk sacks from partially to completely un absorbed. I'm thinking its a incubator temperature issue. Thermometer has read...

We are in Dunnellon (near Ocala) and we have both Bantam Millie Fluer and mottled cochin hatching eggs available. I also have a ton set in the incubator, and will hopefully have quite a few chicks available. Let me know if we are close enough. We also frequently travel on weekends to the Citra...

We are in Dunellon, and I have two brown leghorn hens that I'd be willing to part with. They are just less than a year old and laying well. Let me know if you'd be interested in these two girls. I just need to make some room for more colored egg layers. :-)

Way to go. You have a lot to be be proud of with your beautiful chickens! :D

Yes you do have to watch for them to try an inadvertently drown themselves. :-) Then I used the warm air on the A/c to do the blow drying. My little bowling ball loved that part too!

Are we having the swap in Dunnellon at Tractor Supply this Saturday? I'm torn between the swap and going to the show in Lake City. But I have some cockerels I need to part with. And I'm considering bringing a pair of nice Bantam Dark Cornish.

Thanks, I will follow up on these leads. I appreciate the efforts to help me find what I'm looking for, even if it is a last minute long shot.

Also a second request: Would anyone who has the homing pigeons in and around the Ocala area be willing to release them on Friday from my Grandmas house just off of St Rd 200 in Ocala in the early afternoon? We are having a reception after her memorial service and it would be neat to see them fly...

Does anyone have any silver penciled rocks (LF) nearby? From 18 shipped eggs, from two different folks, I ended up with four Roos and a single pullet. I'd like some more pullets or even just local eggs to hatch some more. My other option is having more eggs shipped, or bite the bullet and buy...

ISO: Crested Cream Legbars and Tolbunt polish in the Ocala/Gainesville area. Would like hatching eggs, chicks, or pullets. Will also be attending the APA show in Inverness on Oct. 25th. Thanks.

Hope to see some of you folks out at the Dunnellon swap at Tractor Supply tomorrow morning! I'm bringing a Tolbunt Polish frizzle hen that is awesome, but just doesn't fit in with my Marans. The roo was being too aggressive, and the looked like a friar for a while :P. But I separated her for a...

I have a question I hope some one can answer for me. We just upgraded to a digital incubator that automatically regulates temperature and has an egg turner. Before I was using the old "Little Giant". That was way too stressful to keep regulated. I'm so excited for this new incubator. But my...

My duck "Lucky" needs to get a feathered friend instead of our Great Pyranese, Bumble!

ISO a couple of female Peking ducks. My male needs some feathered friends. Right now he is attached to our Great Pyranees! He follows the dog all over the yard. Last night we were laughing as the duck was doing his best to cuddle up with the dog on the porch. We will be visiting the show in...
