I am not certain that I will get chickens yet.... hopefully some answers here will help me make up my mind. So here is what I have/want... I have 2 ducks, so they will be in the same 1/4 acre free ranging, and will have a new apartment addition in the duck house at night. I want bantams that...

This is about the only place that I will get the sympathy that I need. I'm heart broken. The other night, I came home to put my little flock in the pen for the night. When I know I won't be back before nightfall, I put them in a little fenced yard with an electric fence on. The 2 drakes were...

Hey everyone. I haven't been on BYC for a long while, life has really gotten in the way:rolleyes: So here is the case.... I have a male Silver Appleyard x Welsh Harlequin. He has just come of age, hatched in June. I live in Chapel Hill NC, and if there is a good home out there for this PET...

HAHA! I've been wondering the same thing! I thought my drake was going grey!

I just posted in the for sale section, but need all the exposure I can get. My drake needs a new home. I'm fine if someone is willing to adopt him. I am inheriting 2 of his offspring that the family can't handle due to a family emergency situation that is long term. I am in Chapel Hill, NC...

I have a WH drake that needs a new home. I bought him at the NC State fair last year. He won 3rd, so would make an excellent breeder. I'm not sure how old he is, but he is still fertile. I paid $30., but just found out that I will be getting 2 of his offspring, so I need to find a new home...

Hey again everyone... It seems as though I have just inherited the 2 ducklings that my friends daughter hatched. I think this is wonderful, but due to the fact that I live in a neighborhood that doesn't allow the ducks and quail that I have, I think I need to rehome these 2. They are SA and WH...

:weee:ya THEY HATCHED, THEY HATCHED!!!!!!!!! The 3 duck eggs I gave to my friend for his daughter's birthday just hatched!!!!! This family needed a bit of happiness, and THEY HATCHED!!!!!!! Thanks for the extra prayers for the eggs! Now waiting on good news for my friend...

...and sorry for being a real downer. Just figured the more peeps that know, well, maybe it'll all turn out ok.

Well my friend had neurological testing that seemed very positive. He has the proper reactions to things like gag reflex and pupil dialation. The problem is he is having myoclonic jerking. You know when a baby falls asleep, and right about the time they hit the deep sleep they twitch? That is...

Thanks for the vibes. I knew I could count on people here for loving thoughts. We are still waiting word on his neurological tests that were done today.

Hey everyone... It's been a while since I popped on, so here is a bit of an update... Em, Grizwald is still doing well. (the ugly little naked dog) He has come to try to own the house. Not much marking anymore. We finally came to an agreement that if I walked him each morning, an official on...

Hey everyone! It's been a while since I've been on, life got a bit busy. I was wondering if anyone is going to the 'flock swap' in Sanford tomorrow?

Lucky duck started laying for me, then after 5 days of eggs, she stopped. This is day 3 or 4 without an egg. Is this normal?
