Yes left over veggies or scraps are great for the chickens or ducks. I even feed them the weeds.
Do you start your own plants or buy starter plants. I think there is a section on this board that is for people interested in gardening too.
Here you go-...
We have Marans with feathers on their feet. Some of the eggs are very dark. I was told the Dark Copper Marans have the really dark brown eggs. I think DH is done hatching Marans for now as he wanted only 15 hens and 3 roosters. He has splash, dark copper and blue. If you want him to hatch some...
Hmm we have never had that but I have nearly fallen over a goat because I am busy, not looking and they want to be close to people. We handle all our goats a lot and right off do not let them but or other negative behavior. Milking a goat is a big commitment indeed. It is also hard to leave and...
We have had milk goats, Nubians, for nearly 24 years. I second the need for protection of dogs. we have lost multiple goats to dogs but not to coyotes. We do take extra protection for the new born goats. We dehorn all our goats. My children have lots of fun with the goats and are used to...
I would think any other standard sized breed would work except for game type. We have several breeds separated into breeding pens but then have many others in a mixed barn yard flock. It sometimes depends on the personality of a chicken too. Also if they start off as 1 day old chicks together...
I just hatched 10 Heritage Bar Rock from eggs that I bought. I have been waiting to get these Bar Rock from the time I got back into chickens again. Mine are just feathering in. I will try and post pictures soon. There are some boards on here especially dedicated to Bar Rocks.
A River Buffalo sounds good to me. Up in Oregon we had friends that had a regular bull Bison. One day it decided it was sick and tired of being locked up. He went and took a walk straight through the fence and into their little town. The sheriff had to shoot it. These animals require some...
Hmm and the heat hasn't even started. I noticed it too. I am needing to supply more shade. I have heard of people giving their chickens a big ice block in their water. Mine are all walking around with their mouths open. Lots of water available.
We have 2 roosters for our hens running through the back yard. Thank you to everyone that offered roosters and a special thanks to Teresa. Can't wait to meet up with everyone March 2!
Hahahahaha But ofcourse! You might be surprised though. At one time for some reason none of our goats were in milk and we had just adopted our youngest son and had several other young children with milk allergy. A lady we barely knew had mercy on us and sold us a goat that was fresh with milk to...
Thank you for the responses to my quest for a roo. I am trying to see what is closer and will work sooner. I am running the options by DH to see what can work. I really appreciate all your response and kind offers for help. Chicken folks are the best!
