It's been a long time since anyone posted on the Consolidated Kansas thread. I personally saw that at least locally most people took off this spring and summer for vacation after a couple years of being grounded with covid. My normal sales fell completely off. Feed prices got insane. But...
Thanks fore looking at my site. I don't normally sell any hatching eggs at all but I might consider selling some peafowl eggs this year. The reason being that I have a huge overlap in hatching times in late spring and often run out of room in my incubators. I have one group that is mixed , A...
When I lived in Oklahoma there were a lot of these growing in ditches and stuff. I think the weather is too chilly here for them. Many nurseries offer these for sale and some list them for this zone but if you research the plant further it's just too cold in winter for them. You might be able...
the waters work on a vacuum. The only way to learn is to error now and then. Did you keep the top you cut out? If so get some water proof gorilla glue epoxy . And glue it back on. If you can't get it all sealed with no air leaks initially just glue, let it set then add more later until there is...
I remember you posting some time ago. We sure don't get the activity we used to. I for one just don't spend as much time on the computer. Seems I'm always busy working on something else. Or I'm just old and slow. I wouldn't count on it not freezing. We've probably got up to 3 more months of it...
I've not been getting notifications of posts on Consolidated Kansas. I just happened to check.
Where are you located AmericanHank? I've got a ton of ducks and would be glad to help you out. The bantam ducks get really expensive as compared to the full sized ducks. I've got a bunch of Cayuga I...
Welcome to the forum. Since you're a new chicken mamma please feel free to ask any questions if you have them. There's lots of experience on the Kansas forum and we're always willing to help.
I had guineas start laying really early then they quit and recently just got going heavy again. I try not to raise them but if I find a new nest I put them in the incubator. I've got some young ones now and just added some more eggs to the incubator. I just like having a few that free range to...
Your welcome but I can't really take credit. @Trish44 has also consistently posted on here. The problem with BYC now is that they don't always notify you when there are new posts. So since there isn't a lot of activity we often don't check. I recently had some major surgery and wasn't able to...
I didn't notice any muffs on the d'uccles. Of course a few don't have them even though they are supposed to. Could just be the picture too. I've raised D'uccles before. They are very sweet and personable.
#1 is a pullet. #2 is a cockerel. I can't see the others' sickle and tail feathers to tell. I butcher or sell or donate roosters. It all depends on the time I have, the weather etc. A couple months ago I gave away 23 full sized cockerels just to keep from butchering again. Depending on your...
The weather has been insane the last few years. It just gets more and more severe. I'm not that far from you either. I live near Waverly.
This thread has been going for years and years but the past couple years it has barely been crawling. It slowed way down with the avian influenza breakout...
