Easter egger. Lays green or green/blue eggs. Not a true ameracana or aracana (no I didn't check the spelling first. the point is the same). Just a loose word for that type of breed but not being a true pure breed.
Doing well. Instead of making my own salt electrolyte mix for them I've been adding a small amount of Gatorade mix into the water. Enough for a 12 oz bottle to a gallon of water.
We (really she while I'm In Blthyville) fired up the Incubator last week. I need another broody box like my good one. I should probably start another round soon after those hatch out. I'm going to go out on a limb and say we're not incubating as many as you. I lost a couple of broody hens over...
Listening to the market last fall, there was a report of the cows sold in/at several select auctions in a 3 month period. It was almost the same number as the previous 3 years combined of the same 3 months.
Replacement heifers will bring a pretty penny this year for anybody who could afford to...
Hello NanaKat. I guess I should check in more often, although I don't think I've done any thing much on the internet for months now. I hope your leg is healed by now. I barely got enough hay for the winter after selling stock as well.
The pasture is just now getting to be more than enough to...
Off the top of my head, finding an auction would be the best/fastest way to find a specific breed because of the vatiety there.
Maybe you just find some one with other ducks and the could tell you where/who to go to or they have some at home.
Welcome. I used to be a regular here but since the post died I've faded away. That and certain jobs have me away for months and no internet and no time. Nice to see it is still going.
I still miss my talks with others that educated me on the things I didn't know. They are still here and still...
About a month ago I checked the nesting box the wife can't really reach (after not getting any eggs). I got 8 eggs and only 3 hens. The next day a hen started setting. I know I should've collected for a week then gave them back but I didn't. 2 hatched out days ago and she started taking them out...
The big storms that came in Thur evening went just south of us here. I was also just a head of it on the way home from work. Yet I still had to watch for water on the highway, then crossed a section on the county road home that was bumper deep on the truck. In a car I couldn't have got home. I...
And more rain coming. It's better than the over dry 90 days with out rain and most over 100f. It's been a bit but I remember that summer. Were soaked here for sure, but not flooded.
I've been thinking about buying some mushroom spores and growing some. Just not sure how the not Morels taste.
Not me. No point in trapping to invite them right back. :gig
If you free range all day like I do, wait a couple of extra hrs to let them out. And again if you can put them up a little early.
You may be able to leave them in the coop and run for a couple of weeks and find that they move on with no free food. Although it will soon be birthing season if...
