Getting the flock out of here - a diary of a crazy chicken man

[Tomtommom]

Shouldn't be hard to find someone willing to trade a male for a female, right?

great theory but there is a problem. no pekins, local breeds are runners and scovies

my "competition" in the business has some metzer farm lines so i am trying to buy one.

i am having a biosecurity nightmare

Quote: I aint a duck person, but I know a lot of male ducks have the curly tail feather, but some like the muscovy don't have it.

Well I'll be ducked

After 7 months out lone pair of Pekins are more than decorations.

WE HAVE 8 EGGS SO FAR

One of the Muscovies is brrody and sitting on 15 eggs. I am going to do a game of musical duck eggs.

Pekins will go under scovy

Scovy under broody hens and incubator. I am trying to avoid the incubator as 20 duck eggs will take the place of 96 chicken eggs and i need every inch of space

i can get 100% hatches of scovy eggs up under a broody hen

i just have to mist them every other day with H2o

Scary when the trailer drives YOU....

the trouble was it was still hitched to the back of my truck at the time

ever pulled a horse trailer? I wasnt driving but my a friend of mine pulled the horse trailer with a passenger car. The horse trailer loaded out weighed the car.... Horses move around looking at stuff....

i towed an MG Midget from LA to Baltimore using a Dstsun 280Z

It pulled it just fine but handled like a boat.
