    The right fit?

    Hi all, I’m looking to replace a rooster that I got for my flock of 9 hens. He’s a French copper black maran who doesn’t seem to be breeding the hens at all bar one that I’ve seen him attempt to breed. Not sure how successful he was in doing it as I have yet to see the bullseye in any eggs. I’ve...

They all lay in boxes evaluated from the ground, and were doing fine, until I ran out of Organic Mixed feed, and had to feed them (ew) Hi-Pro, but now for the past 2 weeks I made my own fermented feed with SO much protein, amino...

    Today I Say Goodbye

    Today I say goodbye to my OG Lady. She was the first chicken I ever learned to love and care for at 1 year old, 7 1/2 years ago. She made it through many harsh winters with me, and conquered some random sicknesses that hit my flock throughout the years. I was so hopeful for one more winter with...

    Showable Call duck?

    I have the chance to buy a call drake out of exhibition lines, but i didn’t know if he was more pet quality or if he was breeder/show quality and was wondering if anyone could tell me before I purchase him? I already have pet quality ducks and want to work towards show quality. Thanks

    What gender are my silkies?

    I currently have a few different aged silkies, and I was wondering if anyone could guess the gender of some of them? I am going to post the 3 oldest ( black, blue?, and a splash) because I feel like my other 2 groups are still too small to tell. Any guesses or advice on how to determine gender...

    Call duck colors

    I just bought my first call ducklings and I know all of the colors except these 2. One is all yellow with one spot on its head and the other one is yellow with a sort of dusty looking color on him. Any advice would be great 😊

    Update on Jimmy (don’t question her name)

    I’d like to thank everyone that helped me when I was worried about my duckling. She has been up and moving more today than she has in the past couple of weeks. We separated her from the others because she didn’t have the energy to push them away so she could eat. At first I thought she would...
