are yalls ducks and geese laying? mine havent started yet, but I think they should start soon.

I only have 1 duck and she layed about 4 eggs in Nov. and hasn't layed since. even my chickens are going slow right now. I swear all my bantams are broody right now and only about 1/3 of my lf. are laying. I'm on day 16 on the eggs in the incubator hoping i get a decent amount of chicks. i have turkeys (broad breasted whites) coming in the mail next week, still have to build their inclosure

Been awhile since I have posted in this thread. I got 3 pullets and some meaties last year from TSC to raise in town last year, (I was a chicken outlaw) against my wife's better judgement. She was anti-chicken (they stink, smell, are the nastiest creatures on Earth, etc.). We finally bought a small farm at the end of last year in the town we had been looking in for years. When we moved, my wife found someone who was selling easter egger and BO pullets and bought us three of each. She knows chick days are around the corner and has asked me multiple times how many we are buying this year. lol She wants to get double what I want. I guess I have been able to squash the rumors of those nasty filthy creatures to her and a lot of my friends because they keep asking me questions about coops, eggs, free-ranging, etc.

She loved the meat we raised last year and is now in a panic because we have very little left. I raised 39 meaties last year, gave away a little and sold a few, but kept most for us. This year she is wanting to raise 300-500

meaties. She has friends who are wanting to purchase a years worth of chicken from us. We are also getting 30 more pullets for eggs because we cannot keep fresh eggs for our self because my 7yo son sells them to the neighbors as fast as they lay. I also have a gentleman wanting to buy 30-40 dozen eggs a week from my son! This chicken math thing is getting out of hand quick and I do not mind one bit.
