San Diego Chicken meetup and Chat thread

[Corimckee]

So after hooking up a couple neighborhood families. I still have about 18 chicks that I don't want to keep. They are hatchery quality. I have some brown leghorns, a naked neck, some New Hampshire, Delaware, a few Brahmas, buff Orphingtons, and a couple others that can't pop into my head right now. Anyone interested??? If I have to sell them on craigslist whats a fair price for a 7-8 week old hatchery pullet??

So I have some ducks and they were laying great but recently I've been finding hollow duck eggs and today I caught them in the act

So I have six egg eating ducks (they don't eat the chickens eggs though

) I wanted to sell them before that but now I don't know if anyone would want them...maybe if they were in a different environment they'd stop but I don't know

But if anyone would still want them I'd sell them pretty cheap or trade for a couple hens. If not I may just have to have a large duck feast lol!

All six are eating the eggs? How are they cooped in? Or how much free space do they have? I saw a soft shelled duck egg while I was putting my chickens away one night and I turned around and the ducks ate it. They have not tried to eat any of the hard shelled eggs nor the chicken eggs. I am wondering if your situation was brought on by a soft shelled egg. I let mine roam the property. I may be interested if it was isolated and I can watch the culprit but if all 6 are eating then you need to have a feast in my mind.

Hi

I have Black Australorp and Silver Wyandotte eggs available but with all the bad press I'm getting on Craigslist I'm not sure you can trust me or the hens to produce.

I guess I should have worded it a little better. I don't know for sure if all six are eating them or not. I only caught one in the act but I know that only duck eggs are being eaten. I haven't had a soft shell egg that I've seen. I don't really know how it started they were all fine at first then I started finding hollwed out egg shells all over the pen (when my chickens have eaten a broken egg they leave nothing behind). They are in with my chickens but I let them free range at least three times a week (more if I have time) I try to get the ducks out of the pen to free range with the rest but they refuse to leave the pen

I went down there earlier than usual today and found four duck eggs perfectly intact. Maybe I'm just not collecting soon enough, I just never had this issue with my chickens. I was going to sell them before I found out about the egg eating. I like the ducks but I think they'd be happier with other ducks and more room to themselves. I have a big watering tank for them to swim in but they hardly use it and it's just taking up space :/ at least five are laying and I get anywhere from three to five eggs a day (I think one is molting). If you think you are still interested pm me
