    Cream Legbar- Are these legit?

    I want to work with cream legbars. I have the older girls I’ve attached photos of. And my younger crew featuring 3 roosters too. I posted them to a Cream Legbar fb group & am being told that most are not Legbars at all. Yet all were sold as Legbars. Granted I get it, hatcheries screw up. But I...

    American Bresse (White)

    We got into the Bresse breed last year. Ended up with only 4 hens & kept 1 of the roosters that seemed best. Fast forward to this year. The rooster has become an aggressive jerk; for no reason. Husband is the only one who can get him. I can enter the pen but I need a stick. Today he attacked...

    Crested Ducks- No Eggs…confused

    We have a breeding trio (m, 2 f). they were laying until fall. They have not started back. Yet all my others have started back. Even my call ducks. I noticed it seemed like they started their molt late. (Like Jan/Feb.) Are they notorious for being late? I’m confused as to why they’re not...

    My duck will not lay her egg

    Umm…can you really feel an egg inside the hen? Calls are a breed of their own. They do what they want, when they want. Period. lol

    Crossbreeding Indian Runners - genetics regarding upright posture

    How would you go about that? Drake runner too big for the call hens. Call Drake wouldn’t be big enough to mate the runner hen. I’d also be concerned about the runner cross being too big for the call egg & dying before hatch. But an upright call would be sooooo awesome, I think. Lolol I raise...

    Indian Runner Ducks

    We raise IDR. In fact they’re the one duck we have stuck with since the beginning. Lol But I was wondering if there was a SOP for them? A fb group to post & chat with breeding about?? Also coloring genetics & sizes.

    Duck eggs ruin recipe

    Wow. Odd. I’ve baked tons of banana bread with duck eggs. Haven’t seen that.

    PUFA-Free, Grain-free layer recipe

    They will not disclose their feed recipe. Which I get on one side but if you want people to be healthier, gatekeeping is not it.

    Need Feeding Help

    We rotate our older girl’s out in the spring. The oldest gets to stay due to being a goody broody momma, 2nd oldest will because is our pet Leghorn. lol To my knowledge they’re all laying. I was really just trying to help their feathers & keep them healthy. I don’t like the layer feed when...

    Need Feeding Help

    Up until the last couple days they have had feed whenever they wanted. It’s only because we switched to crumbles that need soaked to waste less, that we have not had food available all the time. We are on year 3 of chickens. And they still baffle me at times. Lol I would think this higher...

    Need Feeding Help

    We have a hanging feeder; they flick the food out w their beaks & drop it to the ground. But the ducks are especially messy. Bite fulls & drop a quarter or half to the ground; does not matter what feeder we use! Just one rooster over the backyard group. 1 gander & 2 drakes. Rest are all...

    Need Feeding Help

    I wish ours has that option. But because we feed a no soy/corn/gmo feed, you get crumbles (18%) or mini-pellets (16.5%). Thats it.

    Need Feeding Help

    Yep already considered that. This was for the chickens as the ducks & geese barely ate any on the second feeding we have to do. In fact, in watching them, the waterfowl always eat less in comparison to the chickens even though they should eat more. It sure seems like a lot though as we fed...

    Need Feeding Help

    We have just started. But when their crops are squishy soft in evening, that’s for sure a sign they’re not getting enough food. My leghorns usually go to bed with almost a softball size crop. Lol

    Need Feeding Help

    We have a gutter style feeder (rarely any waste there), and typical hanging feeders. They will pick through & make a massive mess on the hanging feeders. Like they’re looking for a specific piece of food. With layer pellets we just would remove the feeders & they would clean up the ground. But...
