HI Peeps,
So it looks like my husband is going to be getting early retirement and our friends have moved to Canton, Ga and love it. We are thinking of relocating there. Our 2 oldest are in HS and our youngest will be entering middle school. The only snag with my kids is that there are no...
Wasn't sure where to post this...we currently live on LI and are moving to GA. It is a 19 hour drive....how do I transport my 10 chickens and 7 ducks safely? I am reaching out for ideas...I have been stressing about this...I don't want to them to be too uncomfortable.
Free Cuckoo Maran Rooster, very gentle, nice personality but he has started crowing and we cannot have a crowing bird in our neighborhood. We are willing to drive him to you (within 2 hours), or at least half way. We are on Long Island.
OK so I love them and so far the neighbors don't seem to mind....but my Khaki Campbell ducks are sooooo loud... we named them Abigail and Amelia (from Aristocats) Is this breed notoriously LOUD?
Our EE brooded one baby.. we had 4 eggs but... so the other day, when baby was 1 day old, the hen brought her around all the other chickens... I picked her and the hen up and put them back in the nesting box.... my question is when is it ok to let the hen bring her out with the bigger hens...
OK just as the title said!! AGGH!! Onle one chick is going to hatch the other eggs looks like it is not fertile..... so what should I do with the single chick.... leave it with the broody hen? put it in a brooder box alone? Put it in the brooder box with the hen? Leave it in coop? If I...
I have some eggs that are under our broody hen....my question is this...they were layed 23 days ago but weren't put under the hen until like 20 days ago.... when do you start the countdown...from the day layed? or the day it was out under the hen?
Today is day 21 for my fertile eggs that are under my broody hen. I just got back from vacation...she ate one while we were away...should I candle the remaining eggs? Shouldn't they be hatching?
SO we needed some more egg boxes and this is what we did ... we are really happy it needs paint and trim but I think it looks good
view from inside
whole coop with addition
3 of our babies... we think they are roos but no crows yet
So our l'il banty EE went broody...last year she didn't lay for 8 months cause she was soo broody...this year she layed everyday for 3 months and then went broody again. SO we got her 4 fertile cuckoo maran eggs from EBAY .... ok so she has been diligent but I have noticed she pushes 2 of the...
ok So I got these babies this morning... wasn't planning on them but we will make due... you all know how that goes... they are real pretty... the woman who gave them to me said that the three brown ones are Chocolate Runners... the other four she thinks are Rouens.... can anyone confirm? thanks
Hiya all
I haven't been on in about six months so I thought I'd reintroduce myself.
I have my list of animals in my signature.. hoping to add to our flock this spring.
So as many of you know I am looking for SLW pullets. So I found this lady selling Wyandottes but she has them advertised as Silver Spangled. I asked her if they were purebred and she said yes... Is there a Silver Spangled Wyandotte? If so does anyone have a picture?
Looking for Silver laced or Golden laced wyandotte pullets. I would prefer to pick them up over having them shipped. I'm willing to drive a couple of hours.... So if there's anyone within a couple hours of NYC that has some please pm me.
I hope I posted this in the correct area. I would like to purchase some Sebrights. My husband is less than keen on the idea for a couple reasons. The first is that they aren't great layers... I told him I don't care they are pretty. The second reason, and the reason for my post, is that they...
So I was checking out the new burpee catalog. Anyone ever plant seeds for the "Sweet Seedless Tomato"? Any seeds anyone wants to recommend as easy to grow veggies? We have a couple gardens and I always buy the seeds from the store but there are some I can't find so I think I'm gonna order...
Hey there just curious if any of you guys measure your eggs when baking. There is a noticeable difference between the size of my BR eggs and my Australorp eggs. Today I used 2 smaller ones in pancakes and they still came out good. But I do know that some baking recipes have to be exact. So I...
Just curious.... I cannot make a batch of cookies without taking at least a mouthful of dough... I know it grosses some people out but there have to be people out there that do it...
