Seller eggs In this link someone is offering eggs form the uilebaard and lakenfelder.

For the people in the Netherlands this website: https://wormbestrijding.nl/ is interesting. Here you can have a worm test done by sending faeces by post. That way you only have to deworm when necessary. They are positively known by many dog owners and just saw that they also do chickens.

I think they are referring to the amount of space and amount of animals. At the large chicken farms, the infection pressure is higher than it is at a back yard chicken owner with 3 chickens. Although you could also say that chickens that live outside, are more likely to come into contact with...

Maybe, but then it would be very coincidental that it always happened before dinner. To be on the safe side, I would like to deworm them once, but rather not with a product that has not been proven safe for poultry. If I give too little there is a risk of resistance and too much is of course not...

They get their food three times a day, the afternoon portion of which is fermented. They are allowed to free range in the garden during the day and eat a lot of grass and insects. However, yesterday it went wrong again. I think he is just very sensitive to this, luckily he always recovers after...

I totally understand. That's exactly why we moved to Bulgaria last year (okay also a bit for the sun 😇). I was born in the Netherlands and I have always lived there. Here there is so much more freedom, much more space, literally and figuratively.

Interesting that the feed in Europe is usually lower in protein than in America. That it's not optimized for herritage/ornamental breeds, do you see that as a negative thing? Because I wonder what they would need extra or less. Or does it have more to do with the economic aspect, that people are...

I think it also depends on the duck breed, Indian runner ducks are apparently fine layers, not interesting for their meat I guess. In terms of slaughter, ducks seem more difficult to me, they have such a nice personality that it makes it difficult to kill them (but I'm just too sensitive to...

I can definitely recommend ducks, they are very social and funny. I have the impression that quails are not so people-oriented. Of course it all depends on why you want them. We just have them for fun. They do need a lot more space and in any case a large container with water.

We also had a little bit of snow here (less than a centimeter), now almost everything is gone. The lowest temperature we had was -6. That's exactly why we moved to this area, the winters are a bit less cold here than yours. Our ducks seemed to be more hungry with the cold so we spoiled them a...

Thanks for the info. I do indeed live in the Yambol region, is that store also in Yambol? Now that I think about it, maybe my food comes from there too (I've always thrown the bags away after opening). I'll keep an eye out for it next time, I'll buy it from a smaller local store. I've checked...

I like that way of feeding animals. Here on the forum I read that it is all very complicated in terms of food (to be honest I think this is kind of the American way of thinking). I certainly think that poultry can be kept in this simpler way. The manufactured poultry feed was also not there in...

Do you mix the food yourself? Sounds interesting, at the moment I buy ready-made feed for my ducks, but mixing it myself seems interesting and maybe even cheaper. I also find it interesting to learn a bit more about their nutritional needs. This ensures that we are less dependent on suppliers...

Interesting thought about bird flu. Personally I wouldn't take the risk, but after a bit of googling I found this document indicating that the risk is low, but low is still a risk of course. In addition, they indicate that they have not conducted a real study. ´Commercially produced day-old...

Sad to hear that your chickens didn't survive... They exist in two sizes, the bantam variant ('kriel') and the large variant ('grote uilebaard'). In this link you find more information about the old dutch breeds. You can maybe translate it, or look at the pictures of the breeds. Isn't the...

I live in the Yambol region. I looked on a Dutch website for you and found an advertisement of someone who has eggs from the branter on request. This person does indicate that they only ship in the region, but maybe you can discuss that. I have no experience with incubating eggs myself, but is...

Hi there, I also live in Europe. I am from the Netherlands and live in Bulgaria since this year. Since a few months we have two ducks. @chickengr Do you perhaps mean the brabanter?
