If you wait long enough, you’ll get every breed recommendation you can think of.
No one knows for sure how the male you get will turn out. Claims for an entire breed are also rarely accurate across the board. One poster will have the best experience with RIRs, the other found them to be demons...
That’s wonderful to hear! Hope she keeps this up, though if it were it her control I’m sure she would.
Hopefully you both can leave the serious egg issues behind!
Yup, that sounds like the Dougie I know :lol: !
Thanks.
Oh, poor Sprightly. I’m very glad she has you though:hugs. That was a lot of TLC! How is her laying now?
Well, no, but that already happens. There’s this little serama mix hen that just won’t…:duc!
All the others sound…tasty:th.
You’re probably right about that:lol:! As you well know, I’m easily influenced
:smack
That’s what I said!
I’m a fan of muscovies because they’re quiet. Key word, “require”. Most people love to keep their chickens in large well protected runs. While there is no issue with this (and as proven by my losses, is quite safer), I enjoy this a lot more. Right now they’re all in...
Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE ducks, but it’s an admiration from afar.
Most are way too loud for me, and I would want a really big pond for them. Not because it’s a necessity, but because that would be how I would enjoy them the most.
That isn’t possible, for obvious reasons:p.
I’m still a...
Oh sure there’s meat! Plenty of it even.
Black barred bird was 25% aseel. Quite the heavy boy!
Not that many eggs, that’s true, but that’s a price I’m willing to pay for great mothers, intelligence and survival instincts.
Apologies duck peeps, I’ll let you get on with your wonderful duck and...
Well, there goes that plan. Seems like the hatchery (though not exactly, we do not have hatcheries like you do in the US) carrying Turkens has closed down.
Shame, because I was actually quite interested in seeing first hand if they were really that great. I had even warmed up to the neck...
That is up to you. Any chicks you keep will become her companions after they are weaned. Whether you would want to add more after that is totally your call.
If you decide on giving her chicks, best to time it out like a natural cycle. As close to the three week mark avoids most issues (though...
How about bantam Polish? They should do great with calm birds such as silkies, and aren’t known as the broodiest of bantams.
Not sure how well they would lay though
