    New layer... Frequency?

    Hey all! So my sweet ancona laid her first egg yesterday! We didn't get one today, how often should we expect to get eggs from her? One of our ducks is laying daily so we're a little spoiled.

    What breed is this lovely lady?

    I picked up this duck and picked her out of a huge group of about 50. There were runners, muscovy, khaki Campbell's, and gold 300's in their flock. She guessed it was a cross of a 300 and a khaki. What do you guys think? https://imgur.com/a/PLRlxvI

    Recommend me your favorite chicks!

    I'm getting chickens soon, and would like some friendly good laying breeds to raise. I'm currently looking at EEs, SLW, Faverolles and Welsummers! I would prefer non-broody breeds (So no Orps!) Any tips will also be appreciated!

    Take or leave the eggs? Advice and Opinions needed!

    I have a bit of a dilemma and I could use your advice. I've had Cayuga and Pekin in the past, both great layers but not brooding so it was easy to just scoop the eggs. Now I have two Muscovy. We were unsure of either sex but assumed the bigger to be male and the smaller female. Well, the bigger...

    Is it ok to give 22% starter crumbles to older laying hens?

    I am hearing conflicting opinion over this, so would love to know what anyone thinks. I just bought a 50lb sack of Modesto Organic Chick Starter for my 3 chicks. It's 22% protein and the instructions on the sack say to feed up to 9 weeks. When I told the feed store lady that I would never use...
