Does anyone happen to have Mandarin, Wood, Ring Teal, Merganser, or Cayuga ducks?

Omg it's so cute!!

Haha oh no ostriches aren't allowed where I live! I would, but I have a terrible childhood fear of the swans that live down the street from me in my neighbors pond.. *shudders* HI MRS. SALLY!!!!!

Awe!!!!!! Congratulations Sumi!!! Hey everybody, long time no talk! I guess I should inform you guys that I have away aqua and moe and Cappa and Joey this summer, along with Cappas three chicks Java,Mocha, and Peanut. But I gave them all to my good friend who lives on a farm who I also ave...

I. Have. Not. Been. On. This. Thread. In. FOREVER!!!! Someone needs to message me if I'm gone too long so ill get back on! Some of my chicken news: CAPPA SUCCESSFULLY GOT A 50% HATCH RATE WHICH INCLUDED 1 LITTLE GIRL CHICK, 1 LITTLE BOY CHICK, AND A QUAIL!!! They are about 2 weeks old now and...

Ok nevermind crisis avoided! I moved Cappas chicks an eggs over to an artificial nest in the Little Coop and replenished it with fresh food, water, and bedding and Cappa moved over there and sat on the eggs and now everything's fine :) the eggs were only left out for about 10 to 15 mins I believe.

Cappas been of her nest for a long time and settled down in the corner of the coop with her chicks so I moved the remaining eggs there. She is currently sitting on them and hopefully will sit long enough for the already-pipped egg to warm back up and hatch, and hopefully save the others... If...

I have a concern. I came home today to find Cappa off her nest, followed by one ameraucana chick and one coturnix quail chick. I went to her nest an found the eggs still quite warm, meaning she probably hasn't been off of them for more than a couple of minutes, and one egg in an external pip. It...

Strange, Cappas chick has been completely opposite! He's been totally quiet without a single peep unless I pick him up from under Cappa! I'm thinking of either naming him Walnut, Almond, or Java....

CANCEL THAT UPDATE- I just went outside to check on Cappa, and, low-and-behold, THERE SAT A NEWLY HATCHED FLUFFY LITTLE CHICK!!!! Right next to Cappa! She even let me pick it up! It's a little fluffy brown/striped chick (probably ameraucana) and it's SO PRECIOUS! Then I put it back next to her...

UPDATE ON MY FIRST BROODY HATCH--- Cappas eggs are due to hatch today or tomorrow. When I checked yesterday there were no pips yet, but today could be a different story. I haven't checked yet. On Friday, I go away to the beach for a week, leaving Cappa to care for her chicks on her own. But that...

Ok, just a random update, I candled 4 of Cappas eggs today- 2 of the chickens and 2 of the quail, and one of each was viable. The other two were infertile. So hopefully I'll get some chicks this week!

Hey guys! Ok, today marks week 1 of incubation for Cappa's eggs. I never ever see her off the nest so it's been hard to candle and I have no clue what's developing. The quail eggs seem to be doing fine- Cappa is so extremely small she doesn't seem to be squishing them at all. They should start...

GUESS WHO JUST BOUGHT A DOZEN QUAIL EGGS ITALIAN SPECKLED AND JUMBO COTURNIX!!!!!!! :D

Well I tried, and then my duck got angry and went un-broody. So I guess I'll just leave my chicken be and hope the duck goes broody again some other time...

The mallard just started sitting this morning. I have the safe locations picked out an set up, I just need to get the new eggs and the birds settled in... And I don't have another incubator working at the moment. I guess I could try this evening or early tomorrow morning? I could move them into...

Hey guys, I have found myself in a predicament. My silkie, Cappa, went full-blown broody one week ago while I was in Ohio. I just switched out her eggs for fertile ones yesterday, in which she is currently sitting on. She built her nest UNDERNEATH the nesting boxes in some hay. I want to move...

OMG HOORAY CHICKIES
