We bought 2 of them to make an aquaponic system. They were $40 each. There's a water treatment place in Alabaster that sells them. They get them from Alabama Power, they have the oil in them used for the turbines in the dams.. obviously safe enough to end up in the lakes. Nothing Dawn doesn't...

You're both crazy. We're all crazy.

Whole lot of warnings on the NOAA radio... and not much weather issues. Guess that's a good thing.

I'm only on my 2nd. I mean.. *hick*

Thanks. I need to get some better pics.. might actually be possible now that they don't run away from me all the time.

I about ate Heimlich the other day... He got one of the muscovy babies by the wing and yanked several emerging wing feathers out. Poor thing bled quite a bit. He's been pretty pushy with the little ones, but he's getting rough with them now. So I managed to catch Heimlich, held him down, ready...

Aw I'm sorry to hear that, Orps

They're too deep in that thing, can't reach haha and they take turns sitting, so they're never off the nest. Guess they think I stole their eggs last time (the rotten ones)

They're machines. Just the sight of a clutch of eggs makes them sit

Got some more muscovy sitting again Not sure if it's going to work out being so warm... If they do manage to hatch, we're looking at 20+ eggs again The first batch has gotten big, feathering out nicely.. eating like pigs. Chickens are laying well, they had a tough patch with the heat last...

Having been born and raised in the Netherlands I can tell you I will eat Dutch foodstuff any day, it's better quality than American foodstuff (European rules on food are actually much stricter than American ones, a lot of additives that are OK in the US are illegal in Europe). Can't say the same...

Hey folks, Kimberley cross posted this on Facebook. I think it's important: Quote: I think people should really keep this in mind when buying shipped eggs/chicks. Be mindful where they're coming from. And maybe just buy local, for now. Scary stuff

Maybe not quite old enough. Try shallow water with a makeshift ramp and something grippy on the bottom. Most ducklings dont just jump in, unless mama says 'jump'. I had some excitement yesterday. Pulled a tarp up and found a snake. I screamed a little. Not afraid of snakes, just didn't expect...

I've tried to overwinter poblanos twice now, but I always manage to kill them at the end

You need a permit for farmer's markets. We're allowed to sell on our own property without permit. I sold 2 dozen during my yard sale today, handed out some muscovy eggs for people to try. My neighbors come every week for a dozen, they didn't come by last weekend, that usually means they come...

Gosh, 15 eggs today I have 6 dozen eggs sitting on my counter.. I need more customers I noticed today that our big tree seems to be thicker than previous years, over the chicken area. It's very cool in their run They're some lucky birds. We purchased a bat house recently, to hang on our...

Some folks think they're bad.. blue/green = mold Just like some folks think brown eggs are the whole wheat version of eggs.... healthier than white When ducky arrives, I can spare a muscovy play mate if you need one (or two).

They're lovely. I can't believe I am basically getting more green and blue than brown eggs My original hens are slowing down, but those little ladies are pumping 'em out. Just let me know if you want some again, I've got 3 boxes ready to go $2 a dozen. I can throw a few muscovy eggs in there...

I've been gone too long, had to go through a dozen pages I've got two broodies now, silly black Australorp/JG thing is still at it... it's been like 2 months.. and no, there are no eggs under her I had put a late hatching muscovy egg under her and she attacked when it started hatching (I was...
