Thought I would check to see if anyone lives in WNC that raises quail. I am not sure on the breed I want yet but would like to buy from someone locally if possible.
Managing my own self-sustaining flock has been a goal of mine that I have been working toward for over a year now. I have yet to reach a completely self-sustaining flock, and I find that would be very hard to do, but I would like to discuss and network with others who's goals are to have a...
I have an adult brahma hen that is sick and could use some help. She has been broody for over a month now but her clutch didn't make it due to situations not linked. I noticed last evening she was acting strange so I picked her up and noticed she was weezing and gurgling when breathing. She...
I am trying to tell if this egg is fertilized or not. I can't really tell and the picture isn't the best but I thought I would get some thoughts. The store bought egg is just a white dot and my hens egg has a small hole inside the white dot but I just don't know if it is fertile or not...
I am interested in getting some turkeys... I know nothing about them except that I love to eat turkey. I currently raise chickens and ducks. Do turkeys get along with them? Anyone near me that has turkeys?
Thanks!
I am looking into adding ducks to my small chicken flock and I am very interested in the Welsh Harlequin breed. If anyone is near my area and has a pair or 2 for sale please let me know. Thanks so much! I live in Old Fort, NC which is between Asheville and Hickory.

I have red productions, white cochins, and giant black cochins and I have yet to see any of them breed. I would love to breed the black cochins as they are really sweet and absolutely beautiful but I can't do that without fertile eggs. Also, it seems like they might have problems being so...
In my research for incubators and broody hens I thought it might be nice to have a centralized thread for people who are interested in hatching eggs using the broody hen method. This thread is not meant to put down incubators, as they are a very useful tool, but to share knowledge and...
