I'm looking to re-home my green queen cockeral. He hatched around thanksgiving from Meyer hatchery. He's great, healthy, well behaved. He's not a cuddler. He's a littletl shy, but I can handle him. He's not a bully. I'm in the madison Wisconsin area. He's cute and goofy. He looks about like a...
It's 19° below zero here in central Wisconsin today, so I'm keeping warm by dreaming of starting my first flock this spring. This kind of weather will certainly weigh in to my plans. Hoping for a small start with gamebirds, maybe pheasants, certainly bobwhites, thinking about geese and ducks as...
Hello, and WOW are there a lot of new introductions! We bought our 3.3 acre homestead in October here near the center of the northern Hemisphere. Just got our first batch of 33 baby chicks last Thursday as the snow storm was starting. We bought a variety of chicks for a rainbow of egg colors...
My husband and I live in Northern Wisconsin. On the 26 acre property, there is a 150+ tree apple orchard, several large gardens where we grow pumpkins, gourds, veggies and more. In my spare time, I love to make pottery (I work full time). My husband is retired and is a beekeeper and loves wood...
I am very new to this site and I apologize if this has been addressed but I couldn't find an answer. I am about to buy 12 acres of property in a town outside of Milwaukee WI, Waukeaha County. I asked about raising chickens to the town and they said that is allowed in Agriculture districts which...

Anybody out there? Midwesterners, where you at?!
I'm no stranger to farming, but sort of a newbie to chickens. I did not realize that my husband's all-time favorite animal is a chicken. Scratch that. ALL chickens. We've been married 10 years and this was brand new information in spring 2019...
On March 16th, after much anticipation and near-obsession, 9 black Jersey Giant chicks will hatch and be shipped to me. This is my first flock. For a year, I’ve been researching, plotting, planning, and acclimating my husband to the idea… and it’s all about to happen. Chicken stewards (chicken...

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...
