You have to check each states importation regs... most people ship illegally but there isnt much surveillance on the issue yet, but if you ship something that shows up with a disease your sure to have a bit of an issue.I thought you didn't need to be NPIP to ship eggs or of state, only live birds?
what size pond do you have? I told hubs when the kids are older I want to use my pool for that! How big until you can eat them? and growth periodMy hubby always said to me, no more critters unless I can eat them. So he was getting some koi for our pond and I told him, no more fish unless I can eat them. So we got some tilapia fry from someone on Craigslist last year. They were little itty bitty fish when we first got them. They have grown since last year but not big enough to eat. I am happy they are breeding and we will be able to make more babies to replenish our stock after we eat some. We have them outside right now in a blow up pool. We will bring them in for the winter. We are building some tanks in the basement now. We have one made and making room to make the second one. We want to have the tilapia and koi separate in the house. It is really cool watching little eyeballs floating around grow into big fish.
Pretty silly video, some of them can really holler. We have a goat named Dreamer that I think we should have named Screamer, she is a loud one, that's for sure. We sold 3 goats today, I can't believe how much I miss them already.
Here's a pic I took while walking in our neighbors field of a turkey vulture on top of our house, crazy how big it looks.
he does look huge! Do you have the nigerian dwarfs or what breed? I seriously think I want two girls but I want them disbudded I dont see horns on yours, do you do that now? I thought you told me you didnt but you grow so fast I cant keep track of you!
Fauna looks like me at times! not sure which way to go and what child to cluck at! Some look unsure of using the ramp, how old are they? Did you have food and water in the house for them at first? I have not had luck with broody hens, except serama and they dont really have a ramp.Hey guys, I put up a cute video that I took the other day. It is of my Broody Mama hen calling her chicks out of the coop. If you click on my user name, you can see the second quick video. This is the Mama that has 12 chicks, so you can see how it is tricky for her to keep them all organized.Enjoy!
