This year I decided to be lazy and bought some miracle grow soil. The soil started out OK but has since turned clumpy and has this very odd texture. I reached out to the company for a refund because the soil is really awful but they’ve been giving me the runaround, so I’m going to look for...
I rarely ever rant on here but I’m shocked (and it takes alot these days) that after I questioned someone about a listing for hatched eggs on CL price vs eBay they blocked me. eBay being cheaper. So I told them I’d buy on ebay because well ebay was cheaper and I received more eggs. I wasn’t mean...
I’m getting ready to go to the nursery and looking for ideas for trees to grow in Pots that flower or have unusual leaves. Live in SW Desert zone 8.
Ideas or suggestions?
Bought this playhouse for chickens but sold them and back to quail. I didn’t have to worry about the chickens but I do about the quail. I thought about hardware cloth but I’m afraid trying to staple it to the plastic it might crack it. I’ve also thought about some 2x4 cut to size to fit the side...
Looking for 2 Muscovy girls shipped to me or local. Black, Blue, Lavender etc. Not pied. I ordered ducklings but I can't have them sexed so I cancelled my order and will wait for adults or ducklings that can be sexed. No white. Pm for price of birds/shipping.
Hi
I just received my new sensor for my Rcom Pro 20 but when I connect everything and turn it on, the new sensor shuts everything off except the annoying beeper. How do I know if the new sensor is working correctly? I plugged the old sensor in and the incubator starts right up. The next...
I'm in Vegas and can give more on these two when you reach out. They haven't started laying yet but came from nice eggs. Feathered shanks. Whoever said Marans we're quiet never met these two. $60 for both as they are sisters and I'd like to keep them together.
For those of you who have black Copper Marans, are yours noisy? I hatched out eggs in the summer and got two beautiful girls. They have to be the noisiest chickens I've ever owned and I have had chickens for years. They are so noisy that I have them up for sale sadly. The minute I open my back...
Good Day,
I have a 7 or 8 yo Rcom that I've been fairly happy with. Hatches have been very poor this year, so it's time to do some more investigating. How do I know the incubator is pulling enough air from the outside? I've been starting the eggs (some shipped but last batch was local) in my...
Female Muscovy over a year old not sure exactly of age I got her with my drake. She can be a bit of a bully if placed with young ducks or submissive birds. Strong leadership for this gal from humans and duck friends. She is bullying one of my girls and pulling feathers but only to the one girl...
2 week old chocolate muscovy ducklings. Both parents are chocolate and one duck is black. Outside being raised by two moms and living with the rest of the group.
$5 each unsexed. No shipping.
Can anyone suggest something I can put on the shoe of one duckling that will stop the others from pulling on it's leg? I bought some ducklings yesterday and had to drive 2 hours one way to pick up. No choice on picking them out myself. The ducklings are 5 days old. One has bad curling on one...
I read through most of the afternoon looking for post something close to what I have going on with my coturnix.
I'm pretty sure I have something like MG in my newly hatched chicks. I cannot post a picture as I culled them all this evening to prevent any spread of disease. Symptoms of what they...
After speaking to a knowledgeable poultry man today I'm pretty sure my chicks have Avain Encephalomyelitis. I am still on the fence as to cull them or not so I want to know if anyone has successfully raised them to adulthood and if the birds lived relatively good lives.
I would like to test one of my hens for Mereks through blood work. Texas A&M offers a whole blood test to detect either the actual disease or could be antibodies in the blood. The test is fairly inexpensive but trying to find a vet to draw the blood may be a harder issue.
Before going through...
Looking for Welsummer eggs preferably West Coast. Or if you dont have them perhaps you have Speckled Sussex or Lemon Cuckoo Orps.
Please advise the price of the eggs with shipping and the lines your birds come from. Do NOT want hatchery stock.
I really need to place some of my pullets girls. Local pick up only. Are living outside without a light. Nice chicks. Not from hatchery birds.
$5.00 each
5 week old Light Brahma male chicks almost off the light. These are not hatchery chicks and came from an NPIP farm. Local pick up only in Las Vegas. $5.00 each. These chicks were shipped to me at 3 weeks with some pullets I ordered. Should be nice chicks.
1 EE male I hatched. This little chick...
I bought 4 week old brahma chicks (my dream chicken) last week and Ive slowly been able to get them to eat from my hand and come running when I shake the mealworm bag, which I will say has been a good feat since they still wont come up to me if I don't have food. :( BUT these chicks will NOT...
