Anyone in central Wisconsin know of anyone who I can take chickens to? We had one, Wisconsin Valley Vet, but they are never available. They will say “ there is an open appointment at 11 tomorrow but I have to check with the veterinarian and will call you back”.. then they call back and say the...
Hello guys Ive taken a few years off from raising chickens but have decided to get back into it. Unfortunately I sold my brinsea incubators and just have a homemade one left which I don't trust 100% for shipped eggs.
I'm located right on the MN/WI border and looking for breeders of...
Just a quiet couple from the Midwest. Aspiring homesteaders. Longtime readers. And our pine-dwelling puff-bottomed hunnies, patiently waiting for spring.
I have 3 Pekin ducklings and 3 Khaki Campbell ducklings hatched Christmas Day 2018 plus 4 Khaki Campbell drakes 6 months. Hoping to find someone knowledgeable to their needs to care for them properly and give them a happy home. Madison, Wisconsin
Hello,
My daughters found an egg on our property, outside of a nest and naturally wanted to hatch it. Well after 28 days, it ended up being what we think is a Mallard or American Black duck. After caring for it for about 3 weeks, it's really bonded with the girls. We tried to give it to a local...
Hi guys! My name is Amanda Van Den Elzen. I live just a little outside of Green Bay, WI and I'm new here!
I've been lurking for a while without signing up, gathering info from you and your brilliant minds! I just got the go-ahead from my hubby to get a little flock of chickens, so I thought...
Hi, I'm not exactly new to BYC. I belonged several years ago, but I don't remember what my user name was. I have had many life changes since, and am now going to raise chickens again. Previously, I had raised them for years in a hobby farm setting. Now, I am in a development where they will be...
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I am new! I have wanted to raise chickens for years, and I've been reading about it for about six months. I finally bit the bullet.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
I have four chicks and I've had them for about 18...
Here are some pics of my 3 Easter egger girls (our first chickens)! My husband and I have been using tips from this community and hoping for the best during week 2 of sub-zero temps in an unheated, pre-fab coop. So far so good! Here is what I’ve been doing:
1. My black Easter egger started...
Hi guys! New member. I have 4 6-week-old chicks, my first ever. Two are Plymouths, one buff Orpington, and an Australorp. My father owns chickens down in Tennessee so he's a great resource for some things, but it's nice to have a wider community, especially for cold-weather concerns. As I write...
I am looking to relocate my ducks. I have 5 ducks that I am willing to give away for free. They are very friendly. I am currently moving and I cannot take my babies with me. Palmyra, WI
Hello fellow duck lovers!
I'm hoping someone in the WI area can help me out! I currently have 3 drakes and 1 duck/hen - 2 of the drakes are black and white Magpies. All 4 ducks are just over 17 weeks old and are starting to mate with our 1 girl (or trying to at least). We've been reading...
Hello!
I'm a new chicken owner in SE Wisconsin (zone 5), and I've been trying to figure out what type of roof is best for the coop. I'm not sure if plywood or a corrugated material is best and if one is better than the other for ventilation? I am planning on adding several ventilation...
