I am very, very disappointed that I can't be an everyday user since your upgrade. I love this forum! But it takes soooo long to load & respond that I'm too frustrated to continue. I usually connect via my Galaxy Epic 3G phone. Wasn't a problem before the upgrade and I loved learning &...

My lovely hen has layed several eggs in different places around the yard. I've put them in the'bator. Now she's decided to lay & sit on a tin roof. No wind or rain protection & @ the mercy of the temperature fluctuation of the tin. What can I do? If I put up a ladder & give her straw, will she...

http://priscillamchabal.shutterfly.com/pictures/9 Hope y'all can see this. Had a duck hatch under an OEG hen. Im not sure if it's premature or if it has been pecked by it's surrogate mama. It's not standing, but will drink electrolyte water when held. Do you think it's hear just hasn't closed...

I'm getting an egg/day, which means I have some 1+ yr-old girls laying. The 1st several I put under a crazy-broody OEG last week. Yesterday & today I've gotten two more & don't have anymore broodies. My mentor has told me it's almost impossible to 'bator hatch the eggs & he has 30 years...

The only place I have available for my 'bator is whole-house a/c. What adjustments will I need to make? TIA---Priscilla

Just brought out & sterilized my Genesis Hovabator. The yellow auto-turner came apart. I am having an impossible time reassembling the trays back into the frame. Anyone have advise for me?....Priscilla

Ok...I have a shared nest w more than 20 eggs. A hen is now sitting on it. I learned from here that hatchlings have a hard time making it naturally due to the chill from wet grass/bushes. If I take the eggs now, its been there for about a week until Mrs started sitting yesterday. If I take...

My pekin pair have been laying since I've gotten them several weeks ago. At first I collected eggs but couldn't sell them for more than $2/doz. So then I noticed that I had dropped a slake of hay & she created her nest & started laying there. Every a.m. she's there sitting on her eggs. During...

PEEPPS...R U Here? I have several different colors that free range. Seems that there is more than one laying in their "secret" nest (shhhh.) The eggs are of different colors & sizes. Does this have any corrolation to the parents' colors?

I've searched Stickies & this forum for some basic info & haven't found my answers. 1. Will pekins set? 2. How many are a clutch? 3. How do they decide where to set? 4. How many eggs before they'll set, if ever. I'm. New 2 ducks & got this mating pair 2 weeks ago. They are in a poultry...

I am just heartbroken. A stray dog showed up & chased the peacocks. All 3 males flew away. One came back after a day. With 6 peahens (1 cameo who has been w her husband for 4 years), is it possible they could return eventually? The ladies are depressed, especially the cameo. BTW...the dog...

Have a pair of Am. Fantails. Until I allow them to roost in the stalls, I've. Created. Temporary situation for them. I'd appreciate your opinions. They are in a cage 3' high by 2' deep. There are two different dowels for roosts. I made a nest housing from a 1 gal bucket turned upside down with...

Is there a way to upload cell pics without using a middleman like Photobucket, etc? I'm using a Samsung Epic (droid) with latest s/w.

Do most hatcheries procure their guineas from the Guinea Farm? Does anyone know which ones do?

I am trying to find some rare colored guineas. I've read some saying Strombergs is the middle man for the Guinea Farm. However, the GF doesn't ship until April & Strombergs has chicks now; so how does that work? If I don't order now, I may miss out on the colors I want. However, I wonder about...

Was just given a pair of young adult pekins. I'm new to ducks so I wonder if training them is similar to customizing other poultry. They stay in a fenced in yard, which includes an enclosed chicken pen. The yard is where I feed the guineas & peafowl. They are certainly not comfortable yet so...

This morning I saw my first peafowl mating. What a surprise! Someone wrote on here about the sound the male makes being unforgettable...well YEAH! Talk about the bum's rush.

Found an egg today. It was in a depression next to their stall where they like to dust & sun. These are free-rangers who hardly ever leave their 100x100 ft fenced area. I'm really surprised since the boys have been frisky for about 3 wks now but the girls have had no interest (that I saw.) I'm...

I just can't find an answer to this question. I've noticed my guineas are breeding this week. So I'm wondering when I need to start hunting for nests?
