Well it looks like I've got some catching up to do. In the mean time, I got a few Malay chicks over night! Still not sure if these is they are pure, but they do look like asiatic fowl chicks to me. What do you think @Pyxis?

I don't know what they are suppose to look like but they sure are precious! Congrats!!

well hi guys I just want to say I just became a member of the live stock conservancy . i was amazed of all the animals that are on the critical list. has any one ever gone to any of there annual conference ? I saw the American buff is on the watch list makes me want to breed mine Shetland geese are on the critical list . I always wanted to breed them but were do you fine them .

Congrats on joining! I too joined after @rjohns39 made me aware of them. The endangered list is very handy to use for quick references to breeds.

I have. I think I was 6 when I first tried it at a bush tucker day at school. It's a very rich meat, but not gamey. And its packed with all the good stuff. They are probably like deer are over there but do less damage to fences because they just jump over.

Over the last couple of years (at least here in Fl) there has been talk about kangaroo farms coming here. From what I've read it's a sustainable meat, with good health benefits.

About 3 years ago a guy won the local chilli cook off using kangaroo meat.

I think it would be an interesting route to look in to in regards to farmed meats.

Still running behind. Got to go to the feed store, and get back here so I can get to the parade. Chat with y'all later.

Morning friends!! Didn't check in yesterday so I have a lot of catching up to do

My youngest has pretty much put me in the dog house for a couple days. Found someone in my area hoping to get into ducks, so naturally I emailed them back with some information and offered them any I have hatch out of this batch of 6 due March 2. Told the lady I would only want to keep them a few days to make sure they're healthy, then she's welcome to them. So Cullin, the baby, hit the roof!! "28 DAYS AND YOU'RE JUST GOING TO SELL THEM" In my disbelief of his outrage, I did have to give him credit for remembering the incubation period

Anyone elses runner use a nesting box or did I just get lucky?View attachment 2032363

They have used the nest box, but not always. What's strange here is I have 3 that lay together faithfully. It's not always in the same spot, but the 3 are always together.
