Cool. If I weren't still trying to scale back, I'd be tempted to start a group order for those in the Chicagoland area. I'm sure it would not be hard to find 4-6 people willing to make a $20ish order. (My next addition on the wish list would probably be a bantam orpington or modern game or silver duckwing OEG...... or a sebright or ......)
OK too much wishing.

https://www.cacklehatchery.com/whitechantecler.html#product_tabs_availabilitythis is what I would probably get...but there is very limited availability.... if I was going to get some.. or some kosher king meat birds
so i guess if some needed to fill the $100 , i could get a couple .... now if we could tell which is what when they came in

First off, woah there was a major update to the BYC site. It looks quite different on my phone now.

I came on this morning though to share a pleasant surprise. After the coldest night and heaviest snow so far this winter, I found a duck egg in the coop!
I haven't seen a duck egg since November I think. Now I am wondering if they are just laying then outside somewhere. The trend to lay outdoors, but usually right around the pond and I haven't seen any there.

The duck egg (I did have to wash it. It was previously covered in muck due to wet conditions and messy ducks.)

The duck egg along side some chicken eggs (yesterday's haul) for comparison

Yes it is way different on my phone

I don't like it

Hurray for the duck egg

@BReeder! Congrats on the duck egg. How's the baby?


It was COLD out there this morning! I've gotten used to the mild weather.

My turkeys survived the freezing rain and 2f..in trees all night.
I think they are nuts..or at least the 9 that wouldn't go in the coops


I am not sure which is worse
Mud season or this

I have a question about rehoming some button quail in Illinois. I'm not sure whether to officially list them on the site here or to double list them on places like craigslist or offer up? The rules in the buy trade sell forum say that I'd have to pick one or the other, but I couldn't list both places at once. I have a pair that I don't have space for anymore and it's kinda time-sensitive and I can't ship. I want them to go to a good home. Does anybody know anyone who would want two button quail? They seem to be normal/cinnamon coloring.

There are a few people in the IL thread that raise quail. @BReeder! has coturnix quail. He may be willing to take them if you're in the Chicago area. I've sold chicks via Craigslist and others have used Facebook groups. Then there's FFA & 4-H kids who may be willing to take them. Good Luck!

Thanks Faraday40! I'll try looking into the facebook groups and I'll ask BReeder if I can. I just want them going to a good home.
