Danz-If I ordered sex link birds from a hatchery would they be that same cross? Or does it depend on the breed? We want to add a few more eggl layers. I am thinking of trying a couple different choices, raising them all together and seeing how they turn out individually to make a decision for...

Hmmmm....I was thinking about trying some freedom rangers but I really want some blue egg layers too so it might be interesting to try some EEs too and see how they dress out! Were they tough at all at 16 weeks? Did you have any hens from that batch and do they lay colored eggs? Thanks!

Howdy all!!!! I know I am not from Kansas anymore but I wanted to stop by and say hello from the snow covered, freezing state of Maine! Despite the fact that there is a lot of snow on the ground still we are thinking about broilers this spring and wondering if anyone has any recommendations? I...

Howdy all!! Just popping in real quick to say hi. I breezed through the last several days of posts and can't remember much of anything now! Hope everyone is well! We had a great bantam cochin hatch today, locked down 14 eggs and 14 chicks hatched out of shipped eggies from North Dakota! I was...

I will have to take a look. They seem like cute little critters. We were thinking sheep but they seem too flighty for my liking and neither of us cares to eat mutton so.... The bantam cochins are one of my favorites. I have a little hen that jumps up and rides on the feed bucket edge in the...

Howdy all! I was reading and forgot to multi so here I am at the end and can barely remember! Danz- so sorry about your storm mess, what a bummer! Hope it all gets squared away soon for you. Amelia seems pretty happy here now, she is getting her first molars so that has been a miserable time...

He likes it! He has been coming home late though with all kinds of emergency surgeries he gets stuck there a lot. The dogs are doing well, we are waiting for the field to be hayed before we can bury line for the invisible fencing so for now they are tethered which I feel badly about but it is...

Howdy all from Maine!!!! Hope everyone is well! We are in the thick of unpacking and the house is a total disaster but then again what else is new?! Amelia is settling in to our new digs and just LOVES it that her grammy and papa show up to play at this house! All our critters survived the 1700...

Morning all. It poured for hours here last night. DH left with his dad for the first trip to Maine with moving truck and pets in tow yesterday afternoon! That was exciting! We also closed on the house and every went as planned, thank heavens! My sebastopol geese left today to their new home in...

BUMMER! I just shipped him off with another couple roos to probably be dinner.....The hopeful news is that when the lady saw him she thought maybe he was too beautiful to sell to eat to the lady who buys extra roos off her and she was thinking she might let him run with her hens instead. She is...

Oh NO!!! I am so sorry, I know she was a special little baby. They are such a hazard to themselves sometimes. You could try pinless peepers? So she can't see them to beat them up? She probably doesn't like that they are getting bigger and potentially threatening to her. WEIRD!!!! I am...

Not sure where the pic went but those ducklings are ADORABLE!!

I just looked at my bottle of calcium supplement and it is indeed calcium carbonate. My goslings hate me now because I stole their friends and brought them to you! It makes me sad that they run screaming from me now, must spend some time with them but time is short these days!

How much corn and milo do you feed? I have found that if I mix whole grains into my pellets the geese pick through and eat all the grain candy and leave the pellets so if it is a goose she may not be getting the calcium she needs from the layer feed. I also have better luck with pellets with the...

I love the look of faverolles, they are gorgeous birds. I had a hatchery one and she was an idiot but the breeding quality birds are lovely. Bummer about the house, that kind of happened to us when we were house hunting and it usually works out for the best. I hope they find something soon! I...

Okay thanks! Sorry I am such a mess!! I think my brain is just so fried that all I do is worry about things that I don't even need to worry about!! Glad the white is a girl, she was sure marked that way. It may have been the gray girl you got from me, she is a heavy layer and I have found a few...

Ha! I am surprised it was the grey goose! I figured for sure it was the white!!! I woke up in the middle of the night stressing about that yellow zip tie on the youngest white gosling I sent along with you. You will have to humor me and make sure to tell when you cut it off, I kept having bad...

My babies were kinda mad at me last night. I had to set down and throw them a bunch of grass to make up for stealing their friends! Sorry about the run away goose, if she knew where she was supposed to go they are very used to being gently herded back to their pens but obviously she had no idea...
