We have been lucky with our 2 Australorps as they started laying both in the same week and I have regularly gone in to the coop to check for eggs and found 1 of the girls in there (Kit and Kat). Now we also have a BLRW the same age who has showed no signs of laying - no squatting, no redness in...
I have been following your thread for a while and when we got our first eggs from our australorps at 18 weeks I didn't want to share our good news as you were still waiting and then were told it could be 24 weeks or more - wow we were lucky with ours. But woke up this am to read your exciting...
Wow, it has taken me over a month but I finally read through your whole thread! Thank you for sharing your adventures in chickendom with everyone and for sharing stories and pics of your wonderful family. Looking forward to reading more of your great chicken runs!

Hi everyone! I am looking for female runner ducks at least 6 months old or older to go with my drakes. Recently lost my females and my drakes are lonely. Would be willing to think about khaki campbell if there are no runners. Thanks!
Just stumbled across this thread this am and read it all. It was so wonderful to watch her thrive in the loving care you gave her and as everyone else has said, she had the best 9 months because of you and your love and care for her. I am crying now for your loss and my heart goes out to you but...

I have friends who have had success with the lavendar repelling mice but when we tried it, it did nothing - the little buggers just ignored it. We have been trying every method lately (lavendar, steel wool, mouse traps, etc) and we can still hear them in the attic - very frustrating :(
If you are going to start chicks on the FF with chick starter do you still put BOSS in it or should you wait until they are older for it? I just read the last post and saw that you are adding it to the layer pellets but I am assuming I would wait to give it to chicks.
I am so bad with getting pictures from the camera to the computer :) I will have to get the 12 year old to show me again how to download the pics so we can share our little ducklings with you...hopefully soon!
