Lap, I called Deb yesterday, want to ask about americaunas, but she hasn't called back. My friend wants to get some chicks. I am trying to resist, but have thought lots about ducks in that place where the water runs all year...and it wouldn't be hard to dig out with the tractor for a black plastic pond form...a little more fencing...
Hi everyone! I just learned this thread was here, after spending a lot of time here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/...t-of-here-a-diary-of-a-crazy-chicken-man/6180
We are located in the Finger Lakes region of NY.
I am looking for some local hatching eggs and have had no luck on Craigslist Rochester, Syracuse, or Elmira/Corning. I am looking for Black Australorp, Orpington (any color is fine), and Speckled Sussex.
I will be setting the 2nd week of April, probably April 8th or so. If I can't find local, I've got a pending order with Meyer Hatchery, and they are schedule to arrive April 5-7th.
I am looking for no more than 5 or 6 of each breed.
Hope everyone is well! And I don't know about you guys, but I am sure looking forward to spring...it's been a nasty winter, for sure!
Theres my first little chicks I have in the spare bedroom right now its too cold to be outside for sure!, Mottled Java and Brabanters. The big Brabanter is the boss and I see the other chicks follow that one and learn... there are two younger Brabanter I was worried they were too small to be with the other guys but everyone is getting along good and the little guys are already growing. My two cats are very interested in them but I think in a good way, they sit on the table and watch quietly while I do the feed and water.
Question for someone... when should I worm them for the first time? I have DE in the shavings and the food is that enough? Got a water bottle to teach them to drink from and brought a piece of wood in to cut them a roost.. the bigger guys already want to roost on something. For now I just have a little short cup in the corner tape to the wall for their vitamin water.
