Oh...I thought *you* bought that

Nooooo

 

[OneHappyDuckie]

Nooooo

If you bought that I would have so many questions lol

Hey, that's not bad. Less than 16 bucks a bag, I can't even get layer at that price here

That’s about what I pay. Layer 22 is about $18 a bag.

Hey Moony, when you start selling eggs, will you also be offering muscovies? I played the food shortage fear to my advantage and can get some now next spring

They seem to start laying a little later then the chickens in the spring but remind me then and I'll give you muscovy eggs.

 

[WallyG74]

I see a real commitment here. That’s real special!

Chick feed (medicated or not, same price here) is 18 for chicken or about 20 for turkey. Layer is about 18 too now. Grower for turkey is 19ish. No all flock here and I haven't looked at waterfowl cause I don't have any yet

Quiet or I'll send you muscovy eggs too.
I do know your address.

Last question and then I'll get on track again. Have you incubated any or just broodied them? Just so I know which method will work best. Odds are I'll have someone brooding, so it won't be impossible to shove them under a silkie or something

 

[The Moonshiner]

I've incubated them years ago. They hatched well but I hated that they take about 35 days.
Now I just let them hatch their own. They get out of hand. They are sneaky at hiding nests anywhere and every where. I found a dead one earlier this year because she was trying to nest in a milk can and apparently got stuck inside.
They'll hatch 2 or 3 times a year.
