    Need poultry advice!

    First year raising birds and I’ve got some concerns. Right now I have 3 roosters and 4 hens (I know, not the best ratio but I didn't get to pick), and I recently added 3 ducklings. I’m not sure yet if the ducks are drakes or hens. They’re all still young chicks and ducklings and currently in...

    New Member: New Adventure

    Friends are hatching our chicks, so we don’t know exactly how many we’ll be getting. We built our coop and closed run to hold 12 large chickens, but I don’t want more than 1 rooster, so the quantity we start out with may be less than capacity. The breeds are mixed. An orpington roo has his...

    Incubating Online Class

    I am thinking about starting an online class for incubating eggs. My idea is to prove a list of required items. And the base of the class using a nurture right 360. As I think it’s a great intro machine and not to costly. Then I will have online zoom meeting or something similar that goes over...

    6 Week Old Barred Rock Pullet?

    Hello Friends! We purchased what we thought were 7 pullets (all different breeds). I’m fairly certain that 6 are pullets but not sure about the Barred Rock.

    Any Homesteaders here?

    I’m really interested in homesteading and would love to hear your experiences about it. What animals do you keep? How many of each? How much does it cost? What plants do you grow? Just anything like that. Id like to get a general idea of what I can expect or to prepare for. Thank you!
