Drive out and get them

Not much other than sell locally. I think what I'll do is start building breeding coops, And find a good breeding stock of birds that I want to breed, And once i've got everything ready i'll try and become NPIP certified. I think the government only tests the birds you plan on breeding, Not my laying flock.. and they don't test waterfowl.

@oldhenlikesdogs have you ever ordered hatching eggs from MyPetChicken?

Yes I have. I got some more coming later this month. I got a wonderful pair of chocolate Orpingtons last year, as well as an olive egger, cuckoo bluebar, and some buff Orpingtons.

This year I have some Millie fleur d'uccle, bantam calico Cochin, bantam olive eggers, and some frizzled Easter eggers hatching eggs coming. Just trying to decide if I should try my incubator or mess around with my bantams for hatching. I will probably decide the week they come which is April 23.

Shannon I'm sorry about your duckling dying. I would wait to cull Clover. Those feet may straighten out. It's adorable.

I haven't a clue what to do with Casanova. I generally let nature do it's things, and almost everything heals up. But if it's still hanging out it could get more damage.

We ended up with about a foot of snow. It's gonna stay cooler for a bit so I guess I won't be gardening anytime soon.

So happy to hear that the duckling is doing better.
I’m currently looking for hatching eggs

Order from Meyer's. Excellent results.




So glad you didn't cull Lucky, Shannon. He can always go to a pet home. He is absolutely ADORABLE!
