I would suggest you only bring in very young kittens. They will grow up knowing the birds belong there and in some cases actually be friends with your bantams. A few years ago I brought in two...

" Oregon Swedes.... I would be interested in your American Blue, but I was planning to have a pair. Thought I would see about pairs from Holderreads next spring. We are not...

We live in Oregon and I don't think spiders here are poisonous. Unless, that is, they are brown recluse... but I don't think so. Since fall is here and winter is on it's way.... I will just leave...

Our chicken coop is a small barn with three rooms as such. It originally housed a pony. When we moved here I made it into a chicken house.... using all three rooms. This past year I closed one...

I, too, thought Patrick was an old codger. Sorry Pat... and congratulations!!

Patrick what you think, what you do, and the so called quality of your thoughts and standards is your business. Keep it in your house, your yard, your farm or business. Don't offer to impose your...

I totally agree with you VGP.... well said !!

Life IS fun. Shucks... some people name their pet rock.

I enjoy my feathered friends, names and all. They add character to your little acreage.

Can't let this thread go by without speaking up for my China's... "Walter and Ethel". Yep.... that's who they are. Can't figure out the harm in naming a bird. They have their own distinct...

To be truthful... suppose I'm just looking for the easy, and less expensive way. I will cut back on the Layena as they are not eating it all within 15 minutes of putting it out. I'll still throw...

I'm having to cut back on expenses here.... and I'm tempted to cut out the layena feed and just throw out scratch. My birds, (ducks, chickens, and geese) are basically just pets. I have more eggs...

The swap sound like a fun place. Looking for good raw honey, too. The "homey man" I've used in the past is well into his 90's now... so need to find a new source.

I might bring the extra bantam...

I usually don't go to swaps... but I will mark my calendar and plan to attend. It would be nice to meet you, too... and to see what is available with birds. I do love my silly birds.... and yes,...

Ohhhh... so Evy are you saying one gander could injure another gander though jealously? Or.. a large gander could injure the small China goose? Hummmm would hope they would all get along.
...

My imagination is too wild for that one. LOL

So I could have a China - Dewlap mix? Ohhhh that would be horrible.

I have a pair of Brown China geese... 6 years old. Next spring I would like to get a pair of American Blue geese and another pair of Dewlap geese. All goslings. When the goslings are old enough,...

Thank you for your reply. No, they would not be used for training. Only for egg production on a small scale.

I'm supposing this is not a good idea. He basically needs to make two pens.

I have a question. My son raises pigeons to use for training his bird dogs. They are now considering adding a few chickens hens.... maybe bantam hens. They are in the city and can have a few...

I didn't candle the eggs... have never done that and really wasn't sure how. That is probably problem number one. But I did keep her separated from the other birds... even from Mr. Gander. She was...
