I ended up with a beautiful Flemish Giant Buck that needs to go. He's 6 months old and albino. Very friendly and unique. I put him on Muskegon CL if you wanted to see the add. I could possibly bring him to CS if I get a solid interest. Also, don't forget the kids. All 3 Nigerians are for sale. I have 2 bucklings and a doeling. I'm considering leaving them unaltered, ie, horns and equipment. Not advertised yet but as always you all have first dibs.

Lots of deep shade...maybe fans.

Sweet!
Pics...build thread?

I have pictures, would just need to get them online here to do that.

Pictures? Are you going to paint a big GVSU logo on it?

Not totally out of the realm of possibilities with it. It's going to be a mobile hoop coop, at least I hope it ends up being a mobile coop.

We picked up a trio of Ancona ducks earlier this year. All was well until they discovered the creek. Now when ever kids decide to let them out they don't come back unless we catch them which equals cold mud scraped up you get it.

So the last two times we haven't been able to catch the male. I have no doubt the kids will eventually let them out again ... I'm surprised a predator hasn't had dinner yet.

Anyhow, I want to try for pure babies from the girls. Just caught them again today. Put first one in coop and of course the pekin drake rapes her. Separated before putting in second one. I guess my big question is how likely he actually got her? Do I have a few days to collect her eggs without worrying about cross breeding? Never incubated before but guess I'll be getting a cheapo one from a farm store. Unless someone near wayland wants to try. I think I'll stick with getting ducklings for now oni

Very likey. My Pekins and Khakis cross. It's hard not to when you have multiple drakes. Check with MAAH, she's in the Wayland area.

WOW, It's Kimmie, been a long time. Check out the Chickenstock 16 page. I think the last time you went was 2013. Maybe you can get some there. Do you still have your ACD?
