Hello all! How is everyone here doing? Haven't been on much...to darn busy. Been teaching between, horse breaking, turkey battling, goat raising and then I came to realize I haven't hatched in two years. Not getting many eggs anymore...my girls are getting up there in years so. What is...

I don't have ducks but chickens, however I know some worming could cause such things along with gaping their mouths, try some vitamins and electrolytes and perhaps deworm?

See that's around what I'm growing it at temperature wise. I was told too warm mold? Now too cold as well? Oh well . I was surprised mine devoured theirs so heartily. I got clover and alfalfa I'm going to try .

Lol indoors in the laundry room -.-

I went to dollar store and bought a few of the aluminum like big roasting pants. On one side made a few holes to drain water. Soak as much fodder as you want to make a few cups makes a few pounds. Soak over night in water 24 hours then spread out in pan until about 1/2 inch thick, rinse well 2-3...

Hello all! Hope everyone is doing well..as well as their birds. Of my 11 girls I'm getting about 2-4 eggs every day or every other day. I'm beginning to think a few of my girls just aren't going to lay much anymore. Oh well. Might hatch more during spring. Just placed an order last week or the...

I get a few Broodies a year one hen who I know come thanksgiving will want to set eggs....she's done so past two thanksgivings. But this year I won't let her do so .

Karla where did you get the waterer? We have just a black feed bucket but it froze over the other day, chickens weren't too happy...stood around complaining, turkeys didn't seem to mind. Monday was horrid, poor birds their coop was directly aimed where the wind was coming from so I opened the...

Perhaps we could share an order? Or maybe I could hatch some and split them?

My Flock consists of 5 wyandottes, a barred rock, a gold laced polish who I swear is mentally challenged, a wellsummer, two Brahmas one buff laced( Secondary roo ), one bantam dark hen, two Olive Eggers ( One being my main roo) ,4 Belgian D'Anvers, two turkeys a Royal Palm hen and Spanish Black...

Yea, I know I've been watching the weather. Today met a really nice person who just recently baled a bunch of alfalfa and grass bales sold them $5 a piece, for the big 80+lb bales so I picked up 8 of those bad boys, this was after spending more than double that at Shiptons. . But I want my birds...

I have an arsenal of fat barn cats....the only mice I ever see are dead ones :D

I should take a picture of my set up tomorrow. As I just put my birds to bed. Like I said its a big converted Horse stall with a connected run. I want to say it has 16 nest boxes. Mind you I only have 11 birds lol. The floor has stall mats covered in shavings and I bought 5 bales of...

So straw is okay. I heard it can cause mites. I was going to go to shiptons to get some hay but if straw is okay then its obviously cheaper.

So it will be my first winter here in Laurel with the chickens and turkeys how do you guys prepare for winter. I have a converted Horse stall coop with 11 birds and 2 turkeys.

I should go out and take pics of my birds. I love my buff laced boy but he isn't very big at all. Beautiful though, except he has a few black leakage. I'm still trying to figure out what I want for spring .I'm a huge fan of the Dark Brahmas they are amazing. The lights are nice but I seem to...

I've had some good luck. I've had some roosters, but none that I couldn't re-home. I had a beautiful breeder quality set of Brown Leghorns....and I would have kept them but the Rooster felt like 4 am was a good time to crow so he went to a farm with a family friend, because I lived in the city...

You know I"ve had horrid luck with Marans. All mine except the one wheaten Maran I sold turned into a rooster. But that is interesting that you think that. I love my Brahmas and like I said I know wyandottes are cold hardy but I"m not impressed with their egg size or the frequency in which they...
