Fresh eggs are always welcomed by anyone we offer them to, so your neighbors should be okay w some hens at your home. If you don't keep a rooster there will be very little to no noise to bother anyone. Also, there are duck breeds that lay eggs like crazy and do all the great things chickens do...

Welcome cotquail! I'm a bit east of you, other side of Lachute. Good to have ya here!

So some of my birds have the sneezing flu, how can I cure this please? One of my lil RiR gets bubbles up in her eyes when she sneezes :( Pls help. thanks.

Well, I'm sure there must be some law against the neighbors dog being a predator on your property. Possibly turning him in would make him "care" that your animals are being slaughtered. Personally, I went and spoke w neighbors who's dogs are loose. ( we live in farmland mountains, most dogs are...

There was a wide variety of birds @ the Lachute buy sell trade today! I found and brought home a very friendly Sea bright hen chick today! I did not find any Cayuga ducks or Gold Laced Wyandottes but tuesday @ 2pm brings another auction @ Lachute!

I have seen coturnix quail at the Lachute buy sell trade every week. chicks of both sex and plenty of em.

Checking in from St Jerome`! I bought a banty hen w 3 chicks @ the Lachute livestock auction last week. Sweet bird w nice feathers, no issues except when I get her out of the crate at home I notice she's missing more than half her toes! the tip to half the toe is missing off many of her toes...

I've been out "much" in my life since "leaving the farm". Never been happier than learning chicken / duck math all over again! I quit the Rat Race one day when I realized there's no glory in out running a rat unless its trying to eat you. Now the only races are the ones that start when I throw a...

Hello from St. Jerome, QC! So my new Cayuga breeding pair from ERW is giving me a beautiful black egg every day. Now if Momma' duck will just sit on them! As much as I want to freak my friends out w black eggs I'd rather have a summer batch of baby Cayugas :( Anyone know ways to coax her into...

Or insulate it the cheaper way, skirt it with plastic or some similar substance. Cheap way to do what you're talking about for the under side anyway.

Do a search for predators on the BYC website. If you're on the Candian chat you must share many of my own predators: Coyote, dog, fox, Raccoon, cats, rats, weasel, mice, bear, wolves? and ALL manner of predatory birds. In my area I have literally seen Eagles and hawks hunting overhead with Owls...

http://activelifefarm.ca/index.html They don't advertise Welsummers but they do have many other rare breeds and can maybe help you locate what you need. They are based in Nova Scotia so it should be local for you. Hope that helps.

Looks like I need to do a pen inside main coop w its own door sooner rather than later! My 4 ducks are at best two days older than my 16 chicks (about 4 weeks old) but they are HUGE in comparison now and don't like the idea of sharing the huge new coop with the little chicks. As much as the...

After turning an ol' speed limit sign into a window that opens up I'm DONE w my huge chicken coop other than final trim and painting!!!! Now I get to do the aviary around it and finish the lil creek / duck pond I started! Oh.. and i can garden again.. BUSY BUSY

what breeds are the ducklings? I'm cultivating a couple flocks and am cleaning up the little creek that runs to the duck pond as we speak. The part inside the Aiary where not even Eagles can get to my babies! lol

couple days ago we looked all over Kijiji and found none. Ebay.ca had none for sale inside Canada either. Getting mail from the states usually takes a long time and we end up paying taxes twice on it plus shipping. The company in Hong Kong shipped FREE and mailed off our package w email alert...

I found the *360 degree watering nipples in China, ordered 50! I do NOT need anywhere near 50 screw in type watering nipples but for the price I thought I could get extra to share with my Canadian friends! Let me know if you need some, we'll work it out after they arrive.

DESPERATE to find 360degree poultry watering nipples in CANADA.. just tried to order from the states, the shipping cost more than the nipples themselves! If customs also wanted some $ that would drive the price WAY too high. pls help. I only need a few of them :( Mountain Wampus!
