My bunny butt is off to his new adventure! This one was by far the hardest to let go of. I’m going to miss his little bouncing bunny butt running to my car as I get home from work, and his secret spicy attitude 😭
He’s off to be a hiking and photography partner and I could not be happier that he landed an amazing home ❤️

As 4h projects start around the area please keep a few things in mind:
1. Just because the bird has been shown doesn’t make it show quality, I can enter a Guinea pig as a leghorn if I want, doesn’t mean it’s right or will win.

2. Search the breeders name on the American poultry association members list and make sure they show before you believe them when they are selling you “show quality”

3. IF THEY OFFER YOU SHOW QUALITY HATCHING EGGS OR BABIES RUN FAR AND FAST.
-this is like someone telling you their newborn baby is going to win a Nobel. EVERYONE hatches culls, even master breeders. There is simply no way to know the quality of a bird until it grows. A sure fire way to spot someone who is new to the hobby or isn’t quite reputable is to see them advertise show quality babies or eggs. It’s a term used to entice buyers into paying higher prices or buying from them.

4. Eggs from exhibition parents or chickens from exhibition quality flock is different and a better way to offer offspring from a breeder flock of quality.

5. BUY A STANDARD OF PERFECTION! This way when Becky sue offers you her “show quality Wyandottes” and you see every single one has a straight comb YOU will know to say no thank you and you will save your child heaps of embarrassment come show time.

6. Search the persons name on Facebook… now this isn’t foolproof but a vast majority of good breeders will at least have one or two posts about their wins, or someone thanking them for help etc. I understand not everyone uses social media, this is just a good tip.

7. Ask for parent flock photos! Ask the breeder what makes them show quality.

I don’t want to hear a single word about my prices this year.

A bag of feed for the call ducks costs $49
A bale of straw is $13

And the hatcheries are charging FORTY FIVE DOLLARS PER DUCKLING
Below is metzers prices for their newly acquired call duck dock ducklings.
First there’s not a chance on this earth I would ship call ducklings.… no ma’am no ham no gravy. Also you will likely have to have a minimum number ordered for them to even stand a chance at surviving shipping. Once you pay all this you could have bought a top tier quality pair from a reputable breeder and then some

This is a slightly different post than my normal. Please please listen up.

🚩I CANNOT STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS MESSAGE. 🚩

Over and over and over I have seen posts in the last week like these. We went through the same thing last year and the year before and this FATAL deadly virus led to the destruction of hundreds of thousands of privately owned flocks along with millions of commercial birds. HPAI or highly pathogenic avian influenza ravaged our country and upset the cost of chicken and eggs across the nation. This virus shut down poultry shows in every state, shut down swaps, auctions, and meets everywhere. Birds were dying right and left both in the wild and in personal backyard flocks.

These are snow geese, they are currently migrating and they are aside from Canada geese are the BIGGEST vectors for the spread of avian influenza. This species has, and was last year as well, been hit the hardest with this virus.

If you see a snow goose that is acting off, allows you to approach it, can’t control its head, walks in circles, is by itself, looks lost, is limping, looks like it’s neck is twisted and broken…
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TOUCH IT OR TAKE IT HOME.
This bird is not tame, it wasn’t hit by a car, it has a fatal virus.

Even if you do not have birds of your own at home, you have now carried a highly transmissible virus (that has proven to be zoonotic, killing our red foxes, bears, minks, etc.) from one location to another.
If you have birds of your own at home you have brought home a death sentence for them. This virus is carried on shoes, clothing, hair, etc. as well as on surfaces.

What you can do is immediately call you local wildlife department/ game warden/game and inland fisheries/US fish wildlife services. Report the bird immediately so we don’t suffer the same fate that we did the year before last high egg prices, high chicken prices, and the destruction of precious private flocks in our entire country.

The exhibition poultry hobby suffered terribly from this outbreak, cancelling our local and even our national shows.

Please share anywhere and everywhere. ESPECIALLY in pet, and non poultry groups as most of those people have no idea and they think they are doing the right thing by helping.

📣📣 I am looking for a pair of bantam Wyandottes for a local 4h teen who is wanting to start showing in APA shows. Hoping to avoid shipping so Southeast Nebraska, SW iowa, Kansas, or Missouri. 📣📣

We had the best time at the 150th anniversary Ohio nationals show. Held our own, had so many laughs with the best of friends that I don’t get to see nearly enough, ate some good food… eventually 😂. Survived the banquet together, it was 4 days of absolute Amazingness. Now everyone is home and settled…. Except the partridge rocks, they stay feral.

19/11/2023

It’s a good thing they’re cute because they sure have no idea what’s going on
