    Any Illini quailers out there? Let's chat! I'm new to quail still. I have contacts to talk with about chickens and I really enjoy the Illinois thread here on BYC that mainly focuses on chickens. It would be nice to have a place just to talk about quail though with my neighbors. If you keep...

    Hi! I’m Mrs B33...my husband and I just bought a place with a few acres. I’ve always wanted to be at least partially self-sustaining, so I plan to start in bees, goats and ducks. I’m hoping to find close, like-minded people to learn from, trade skills and products with, etc.

    Northern, IL or Southern, WI looking for matching duck

    Hello, My daughters found an egg on our property, outside of a nest and naturally wanted to hatch it. Well after 28 days, it ended up being what we think is a Mallard or American Black duck. After caring for it for about 3 weeks, it's really bonded with the girls. We tried to give it to a local...

    We have a very sweet 4 month old Plymouth barred rock roo that is free to good home. We love him but city ordinance doesn’t allow roosters and it wasn’t until a couple weeks ago we learned he wasn’t a hen. We’ve handled him daily since he was 2 weeks old. Please help us rehome him

    What happened here⁉️⁉️

    :drool ⁉️ I checked for eggs yesterday, none. I go out this morning and found five. What could have happened? I only have three hens! Can a hen lay more than one in less than (17) hours? I'm very confused⁉️⁉️⁉️

    Central Illinois/Indiana Breeders?

    I am wanting to get chickens (hopefully soon) and I would love to support local breeders over large scale chicken-mills that just mass produce chicks with no real care about the chicky babies. I am basically living on the state border of the two states (Clark County IL, 25 minutes from Terre...

    Anyone looking to give away or sell some of their ducks around IL or Kenosha Wi?

    I have a solo duck that I am looking to get some mates for. Very open to breeds. My duck is currently 7 weeks and looking for ducks around his age or around. Not looking for day old ducklings though since I am looking to put them immediately outside. Thanks in advance.

    Finally finished Coop- now I can post my introduction :)

    Hello! If I could have looked into my future 10 years ago into today I would be shocked. I was a city girl, raised in Chicago IL for most my life. After we transitioned to the far suburbs, we wanted something larger with no association rules so we moved to a 5 acre horse farm. Well we don't...
