The hatching season is here and so is a magnificent machine! Here we have a Humidaire Model 21H hatcher, the “H” in the model number distinguishing it as the hatcher that it is. It does not have an automatic turner, or any sort of turner, as this machine is strictly built to hatch eggs, and it...
We built these pens as breeding pens for our Call Ducks but I have downsized the flock. I have ground pens (with solid ground wire built on) for $60 each and standing breeding pens for $100 each. Houses/nest boxes built in to all but one that could be used for a growing-out or a day pen. Great...

These people are still searching for their missing Silkies and have sent private mailings (got a postcard today in the mail) and now have news coverage posted on YouTube. Name and number to contact if you...
I am looking for 3-4 free female kittens who would like to apply for the job of Mouser for my duck barn. Need kittens older than newly weaned but who are young enough yet to be acclimated to being around Call ducks, and need them already handled, preferably raised in a home. No longhaired...
I'm just throwing this out there as a topic because I wanted to get some thoughts from anyone who may have seen this problem with any of their ducklings this year.
In birthing of horses, neonate foals often retain meconium (first bowel movements and accumulated waste in the intestine) and have...

The magazine itself is online, but is about real poultry exhibition information. Please feel free to move if this is better suited to another topic.
Okay, so this weekend I added to my group of chocolate Calls with a tiny little pullet, who is looking very scruffy right now but has a VERY loud little quack, even for a Call!
She's absolutely adorable so I'm looking to try and decide on a cute, chocolatey name for her. My husband suggested...
I'll be there showing Call ducks and will also have some blacks, Butterscotch and whites offered for sale. Stop by and say hi! I always have a ball cap on with a ponytail sticking out the back, and can usually be found where Call ducks abound!
I have several single 2010 Butterscotch Call duck drakes available at $20 each, various hatch dates and degrees of feathering out...may also have a few pairs available at other prices, please PM or email me but do not do BuyItNow, I want to keep the auction live without it being canceled by a...
Date is 6/5/10 in Highland, Illinois...I am thinking of possibly going with some of my Calls. Trying to decide between that and the WI show that same day. Is anyone else going, and if so, what are you bringing?
Today marks my best hatch so far to date...17 eggs made it to the hatcher from this last group of Calls, of which we now have 14 ducklings into the brooder. This was my most successful hatch to date with the most ducklings, as only 3 ducklings required help of any kind, and it was minor help...
Okay, I've already had one picture request, so I figured I'd post...here is the latest hatch that finished out Friday. 11 ducklings in all. I don't know if anyone on here likes cute duckies but here ya go...most of these will be available, I have one or two spoken for. PM or email me if...
Hey everyone,
Just a quick note to let you know Sunny Creek's website has been updated: http://sunnycreekfarms.zxq.net
There are some pictures of some pretty unusual machines featured...Don has some Aqua-Magic automatic egg washers available, so if you have ever wondered how a large hatchery...
I just realized last night that I never posted pictures of last week's hatch!
These guys are 1 week old. Can you tell who my favorite is? The tiny blue fawn, whom we have named Nano on my friend's suggestion...I mentioned Micro Duck to her but she said this darling little duck needed something...
Has any one used this product called Nite-Guard to guard their flocks, and if so, how well do you think it works? I don't have any predator problems yet but I am wondering if this device is a sound investment.
Hey everyone,
I know this is the time of year when people's thoughts may be turning to incubators, and to incubators turning, so I thought I'd just drop a note to let you know Don's site is updated with a Currently For Sale page, and a bunch of specifics as to what used incubators he has...
