Mentor Search

Post by ThePluckyHen » Wed Sep 09, 2020 10:09 am

I am a new poultry owner, so excited to be on this journey. I am also a really worried new feathered friend mom? I need a mentor to help answer questions specifically on Muscovy Ducks and Chickens. I can't find all the information I need online so I'm reaching out to see if there may be someone who can help. Just need a bit of help to learn when to be worried, habits I might take up to ensure flock health and general things one might need to know when acquiring poultry.

Thanks in Advance!

The best mentor ever, a book
Raising Chickens. By Gail DMerow,

Not to discount the collective experience of the :PTO: members, but a good book goes a long way to get an unbiased info, your local library has it, if you don't want to buy it ;)

There are 2 reasons PTO exists.

1) Information share
2) a bit of social contact (Around the Waterer)

You are at the right place...
