    Hey, I've come across a near perfect Leahy #624, but while it came with all the parts I need I don't have the operation and parts manual. Does anyone know where I can get one of these, or does someone have a copy they can e-mail me? Thanks!!! cjeanean

    Oy, chicks are LOUD! :)

    Yeah, and you gotta have them inside for 5 weeks or more! I gotta admit, though, that the ducks were MUCH worse, especially when they wanted water to play in....

    How do i put down a hen, humanely

    The quickest method IMO is to remove the head. It might freak you out a little since the bodies keep moving due to nerves even after the head is gone, but I think it's the most instantaneous way of doing it. Here's a link to how we did our meat chickens: Some people use a traffic cone and put...

    Any1 wanna go in on an order of KC ducklings? Raymore, MO

    I'm not sure if I'm putting this in the right place, so I'm sorry if it isn't! I am needing to get a couple ducklings. I can order them through Orscheln Farm and Home, but I have to place a minimum order of 15. I only need 3 Khaki Campbells, so I'm wondering if anyone would like to buy the...

    WOW. That is so sad, but I can't help cracking up at your expense My mom is the exact same way!!! If you have room for it, and it's not cluttering your house so that you look like a family off of "Hoarders", I wouldn't worry. As long as you have some common sense about it and you teach that to...

    Looking into extending our property...advice? Update pg 5

    I was thinking that if I get ahold of the owners and tell them that I want the property and buy it from them for the price of their back taxes that I could bypass the deal that the other guy has. Pretty much it boils down to the fact that if the owners don't pay the 500 they owe in back taxes...

    Looking into extending our property...advice? Update pg 5

    Good news and not as good news! The guy is wanting to sell! He also said there are no liens on the property, which is awesome! The not as good news is that he's purchasing the property in a tax sale, meaning that if the current owners don't pay their taxes by the end of august he's gets the...

    I want to get a pair of geese. Can anyone answer a newbie's questions?

    Man, I had just decided that since I don't have to meet a minimum order by using my local hatchery that I wasn't gonna get them, especially since no one answered my thread when I thought they would. Great, now I'm having issues saying no... So is it worth it in profits?? Pretty much I just...

    Why does my roo not love my turken???

    I guess looks really do matter...men are all about looks. Paint her nails and put a bull's eye on her rear. Okay, to be more serious, I second that, roos usually don't mate with a hen that's not laying. Could be that she's taking a while to get to onset of lay. How old is she?

    I want to get a pair of geese. Can anyone answer a newbie's questions?

    One other thing. Chinese geese are ugly, so is there an alternative breed that lays well? I also read that crossing a chinese with an emden will produce a good layer and good meat bird, but I won't be able to sell hatching eggs for very much, right?

    I want to get a pair of geese. Can anyone answer a newbie's questions?

    I saw the pic of the 5.5oz egg and I can feel the old itch coming back, that familiar rush that comes with anticipation. LOL... So is there a Raising Geese 101 that I can read? I saw that White Chinese are the best egg layers which is what I'd want them for (and meat) and I've read on here that...

    Looking into extending our property...advice? Update pg 5

    we aren't using the property...we're using ours. The strip of property that we've been mowing is just because we don't want tall grass and weeds and such near where the kids play, or near the coop. Other than that, no, we aren't actually using it. It does have a few junk items (4 old tires...
