I don't use facebook either. Ive been scouring the web all day tho! There isn't a lot of info out there.

I did see that and it gave me pause! She had what I'd call a fussy tummy from the time i got her...for instance kale (fed in tiny treat portions every once in awhile) or dandelion...anything like that would cause a loose stool for the afternoon and the rest of the time she had really more hard...

Thank you. I didn't think it did either.

Oh, she also had more internal fat than ive ever seen in any of my rabbits. Same diet. I rarely feed treats and she was finicky and never ate anything but her nutrena pellets. Didn't even care for hay.

This is a doe that is a little over a year old. We had about 4 breedings that resulted in one litter. Thru the cold spell last week she noticably lost condition, lost weight and fur condition. Still eating and drinking fine. She was supposed to be bred but it was another failed breeding. So i...

The choke chain is also my favorite due to back issues. I mounted mine at my shoulder height. It took me some time to find the right size chain and also getting the chain ring directly under the chin is important. If its to the side the dislocation happens between the shoulders. Ive not tried...

My new go to soap!

Yes i use timed lights all winter. But i live where winters are mild and summers are real hot...i have more trouble losing buns to heat. So i actually give my does 2 ton3 months rest in the late hottest part and breed thru winter. I just have mine come on about 4-5 am and go off so that they...

Im honestly thinking the same for my dog. Im going to try one or two whole to decide if it's worth it. Im thinking of pulling breasts and leg quarters and of course the liver/gizzard/heart. I feel like thats the majority of edible on a duck shaped carcass! Honestly when you have chickens, cats...

Much to my dismay, duck eggs are the one food on this planet im allergic to. So my muscovies have become meat producers. I love them and have to justify keeping them around! I have five young drakes to process next month that my breeding trio raised. I'm a little nervous, have heard mixed...

I also do lights...i find about 14 hours works well here for chickens and quail. I have them come on a half hour before dawn then back them up a half hour every 5 to 7 days till you're where you want to be. And i have them shut off ahead of sunset so my birds know to roost naturally. I also...

Awesome! And storage bins are perfect quail brooders...easy to clean and available in whatever size you need. And they do grow insanely fast. The only thing ive raised that rivals them are the muscovies. Its like you can sit and watch them grow in real time.

If theyre fruit flies, a jar withblittle holes in the lid with about 1/3 cider vinegar and a few drops of dish soap will clear them out quickly.

I put six into the freezer last week and used the belly flaps and trim off the upper back (extension of the loins) to do a thai stirfry...it was amazing. I cut the flaps into strips and chunked up the rest. Did cabbage and carrot and peppers and water chestnuts, and used my own concoction for a...

At 7 weeks they already have nice standing fur...this pic was maybe 10 days ago. For anyone else interested there are 3 this color and 2 black...and when i sexed them it looked like they're all does. Which i suspect I'm mistaken 😆

I am in southwest VA and curious as to if theres any interest in this type of cross? If so i will post Details and pics! Open to trading as well.

I agree with eating it all! I cook the entire bird and we gnaw away. I maybe have just been lucky with hatching...i have a nurture rite 360. I so far have put in as many as 16 eggs...first batch every single one made it to hatch and two died in hatching. This last hatch out of 16 eggs i...

My mutts don't have any white on the wings but some have beautiful little throat patches.

I loved them! It was not reciprocated 🤣 I have a couple of neighbors who enjoy them and my dog loves them. I hatched two who have become Splish and Splash, my dogs ducks!

Im nervous because duck egg has been my only food allergy to date. But I've been assured the proteins in meat and eggs are not the same.
