I don't spend much time here because the site just loads WAY too slow now and I still can't figure out how to navigate around it, but I wanted to share this, especially with Miss Lydia. This is the newest addition to our flock. She ALMOST didn't make it, but she's a little fighter so we've...

I have tried every container, feeder and waterer, that I own for my turkey. He hefts his big turkey butt onto the galvanized or plastic containers and knocks them over constantly. I've tried using the black rubber bowls, but again, he THINKS he can stand on the side of it-of course, it flips...

Just curious because I am VERY new to them. Doing a bit of research, it seems illegal to keep them in many states so I feel fortunate to be able to have them here. Any information anyone can share with me on them would be appreciated. Temperament, life span, etc.

...and I'm still shaking from the horrific experience. Here's what got me... He grabbed me by the hem of my jeans and shook like a dog would. Isn't he terrifying?

Hope you have a birthday that is as wonderful as you, my friend!

If only everyone would read this BEFORE they get ducks. I just want to point out to folks that are thinking of getting ducks that they are a long term commitment. They are stinky, messy, love to make muddy messes out of your yard, mess their water 50 times a day, waste a lot of food, can be...

This is my tiny little White Call hen, BooBoo Duck. She is a little over 3 months old and small, even by Call duck standards. There is a possibility she may be a dwarf-we had to move her down two hatches due to the fact that her hatchmates outgrew her so fast. She ended up with my last hatch...

Many of us keep more than one type of bird. I was curious as to which you preferred and why. I love my turkeys and chickens, but ADORE my ducks.

Other than aquatic plants, shrimp and feeder fish, what can be fed to cygnets and adult swans safely?

My mother was diagnosed with RA this past week(she actually ended up in the hospital). I have read a bit on it, but thought maybe some real, personal experience stories would help. Tips, diet ideas, dealing with the flare ups, etc would be very much appreciated.

This is an auction for 6 plus possible extra Norwegian Jaerhon hatching eggs(if the girls cooperate). I cannot guarantee hatch rate and I am not responsible for the eggs once they are in the hands of the USPS. I will package the eggs as carefully as I can to try to prevent breakage. Eggs will...

Happy Birthday, duck! Hope it's a FANTASTIC day for you filled with ducklings hatching!

Happy Birthday, Nettie. Hope it's been a great one for you and hope the ducks got you something good!

My little Gray Call hen has an irritated eye to which I have been applying Terramyacin cream. The problem is, as soon as I apply it, she immediately starts rubbing her head on her back, furiously shaking her head, scratching at her eye and dunking her head in the water-in short, she flips out...

OK all, seemed like a good idea to move our enabling over here to a chat thread. We can post links, pictures of beautiful birds/eggs, incubators, etc. for sale and generally enable/support each other in our incubating/hatching/bird addiction. Carry on...

OK, fellow Call lovers, I just have to share a picture of my beautiful little pair of Gray Calls. Some of you know this little pair from the stories I've shared about them-they are MEAN and adorable. He bites, hisses and tries to attack me when I pick up his hen and any time she sees another...

I have a little Call hen that still has me scratching my head. Some that see her say she is a Butter, others say Apricot Silver. Can Butters have an orange bill? She was doing a little drilling in the mud when I took her picture.

It has to be because I just went up into the attic to get the REALLY warm clothes that we hardly ever need down here and almost fell through the sheetrock(attic is not completely floored). I feel sure now that I've gone through all of that trouble, it should be around 70 degrees just shortly...

I have a young Call duck hen that just started laying last week. She has laid 5 eggs(usually every other day or so) and every one of them has been soft-shelled. I am feeding her Flockraiser and she has access to oyster shell. After the first couple of soft shells, I mixed some oyster shell in...

I was just curious. I am many years and many miles from the town where I was born. I've been back fairly recently and it is still just like it was, only a bigger, dirtier city and I don't miss it at all. I'm a Texan right down in my soul and I'm so glad I ended up where I did-in the sticks in...
