Hi, I have some chicks that are looking for new homes. $15 each for silverlaced and $20 for chocolate silverlaced, while these last! We have made our flocks from birds that we had shipped in from Texas and local hens I have collected. They are free ranged and fed Payback All Purpose Feed with...

Just now contemplating getting into these little ducks as our daughter has been begging for ducks for a few years now. Of course I pick this breed as its small and I hear a quiet breed, but cant seem to find any ducklings local and will probably turn to Holderread for some ducklings, scared to...

I buy the bags of black oil sunflower seed and have been sprouting since last fall. I was going to stop sprouting in the spring when things greened up but the chickens love them so much, I havent stopped! Even our goats, bunnies and dog like them too! Just soak a couple cups ( I do probably 5...

Thank you!

Hi, all! I am in Gig Harbor, looking for a dozen or 2 Fertile Lemon Cuckoo Orpington hatching eggs for my 2 broodies. Posted a wanted ad, but thought I would jump in here too! Anyone know of any or have any? Not sure what the going rate is, but lets talk! Maybe I can put some for you under...

2 broody hens, looking to make their dreams come true. Local pick up only in the Puget Sound Area, we are in Gig Harbor. Can't drive far for them, sorry Looking for 1 dozen. Please call or text 253-549-5106 as I am not on the site often enough!

Thanks for those tips, I will try the grower starting tomorrow. I already supply oyster shell so it's worth the try. The eggs have since gotten a little bigger but not as many still. I don't mind not as many because they will lay them sooner or later but I do sell a few dozen a week and like...

Where do you live, I see we must be neighbors with y our reference to Pacific northwest where the fir trees grow.

We do give them the lawn clipping now that hubby is mowing again, they love that. I feed the goats orchard grass and every now and then see the chickens trying it, I throw large size grit into their area so I am just praying for no impacted crops. I have a great feeder for the goats, they...

That's why I posted before I did any thing, just not sure. I haven't seen any sign of diearia. They look great, I have seen some sort of bugs on some of the birds and will do the coop and the birds at the same time. I think I will skip the sulmet and feed them some cat food, although I would...

Over the past 2 weeks my 15 girls eggs have been getting increasingly smaller and now we aren't getting as many eggs. They are in their 1st. And 2nd year of laying. We had a little hot weather and I thought that was the problem but now it's cool again and still small eggs. feeding Payback...

you need to place them after dark when she has hunkered in for the night, just place the little ones right next to her without disturbing her, but check on them at first light and often. How old are the chicks?

I think you should provide itty bitty grit if you can

I would move her. The 2nd poster has all the reasons. I would set up a large dog crate or something, have it all ready, then at night transfer her eggs and her to hopefully keep her broody, then leave her alone.Congrats, love broodies! make sure she has room to get off the eggs to poop and...

Momma knows best. It doesnt sound like she is separated with her nest, but the 1st chicks can go 3 days without food. I had some wierd hatches when it was cold, they were late and I thought they werent going to hatch. I think it just slows down the incubation when the weather is cold. You...
