Ok just let me know.

Oh ok. What kind do you have and how much will your eggs be?

Yeah no luck on cl.

Eggs or chicks. I can only incubate 6 eggs right now because the hovabator at my house is home to a sick duckling but my brinsea is empty.

That's only 45 minutes from me.

I actually found a guy in hickory who is going to help me get started. He is in the facebook group a world of quail.

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.

Would love some hopefully you will still have some for sale in a few weeks.

I can try and have 8 welsh harlequin hatching eggs by then. I am running low but I can save these for you if you want them.

Congrats on your new mealworms. You might want to warm up their bin a little bit? Maybe put them in the warmest part of your house? I got my first beetle yesterday it was very cool. A lot smaller then what I had imagined lol. Bin is full of pupae now so let the reproducing begin!

Ok if they don't start laying again I will switch to that. I can't figure out what else could be going on. Especially the welsh should be laying... has me worried. Only thing I can think of is the feed I'm giving them is scratch and wild bird seed mix and I need to switch to pellets?

maybe im feeding my ducks wrong and they dont want to lay? what do yall feed your scovies? could a field mouse eat a duck egg? what do yall do to get rid of the field mice?

let me know i might get some. sure wish i knew what is happeneing to my eggs

i am not sure an animal is getting them.. i have seen small field mice but nothing else. you selling the last 3 ducklings?

thanks mrs k for all the great info. have you noticed any breeds better at foraging then others? i have heard welsummers are great.

striving for qualities in your birds that would make them more self-sustainable. broodiness and foraging would be at the top of the list as well as disease resistant.

and reproducing without intervention.. no.. selective breeding we would still have to do as flock managers but the birds would brood and raise their own young without incubators and modern technology. basically less human intervention.

hey lydia.. any of your muscovy hatch any eggs yet? mine laid one day and now i still cant find eggs from none of my ducks.

I am currently raising cochins, orpingtons, and marans with the purpose of developing a self-sustaining flock. I chose those breeds for their egg laying, meat quality and size, and broodiness. I am now in the process of researching more on what the best breeds would be for foraging and adding...
