INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

Do you have a list of those states? The last list I saw only had about 4 or 5 states that required AI testing.
I was advised not to test for AI.
I likely won't be shipping till at least next summer till I work out all my new flock members.

 
Son's FIL's high point of his life is mowing grass. He's got more money than God, with nobody to spend it on, so he buys big boy toys. One of them is a big ZT mower. He'll mow part of his 20 acres today, more tomorrow, etc., til he's done, just in time to start all over again. Strange part is, half or more of the property is wooded...no mowing at all.

Those are nice mowers, and expensive.

Welllll, if he has that much extra, I have a coop thats about to fall down that would be nice to have replaced.....

I was thinking the same thing.


It's the thought that counts.
I like fishing midweek and by myself.


Do you think he'd adopt me?

Eat some of them!

You will have a wonderful dinner AND you will reduce your numbers! Dont give them for free, you invested to much time and money on them not to enjoy them!

I have to eat a couple roosters this week. After being alarmed that I was down to only 3, I now have 5 and another 18 maturing.

Alternative point of view :

The dog ,an expert cat hunter, was sleeping on the cahouch.

The kittens just came near and woke it up

It stud up, preparing itself to pounce on the un experienced kittens.

So you still think it is a cute pic?

(All ouer Talmudic traditional learning system(more then 1500 years now!) is based on the principal of the איפכא מסתברא =On the contrary! So I had to post the other option

Sorry!)

There are probably a few more alternative explanations.

Indeed, I never have said that there are only 2!

That will be breed dependent on how well they can fly.

Just out of curiosity if next spring, I want to give some baby ducks a go, what are the best starter breeds, for eggs, that aren't known to wander off. We have multiple wading pools on our property, and I of course, could set up a 3-4 pool area for them if they didn't wander under our trees near our horse fences. Our great pyr's by then should be trained to leave them alone.

I have Ancona and Cayuga Ducks. Both are a dual-purpose. Ancona are supposed to be a good backyard ducks that don't require a pool all the time.

Welsh Harlequins. I'm a teeny bit biased, but they're awesome ducks!!

In your personal opinion, what makes them better ducks than other ducks!
(we have heat indexes that reach 140+, so I need a fairly heat-survivable breed, too.)

I know the wild ducks, that we had around in the summer growing up in WA state, wouldn't survive a summer down here haha.

Quote: I've only had a few different breeds, but they all returned to their shelter/feeding area, but they were also in a fenced area.

They are DP, so you could eat them. They're easy to contain. They are a very tame breed in general, not prone to panicking. They're beautiful, as an added bonus, and supposedly they're one of the best layer breeds available. Mine aren't old enough to lay yet, so I dunno....
