That's ok, you're forgiven. I have been posting this everywhere like crazy. Getting a good bit of interest for it. I am hoping for at least 20 sets of folks bringing birds. I would consider that a grand success!

This is our first Meet and we are going to have a nice raffle with poultry related prizes donated by feed stores and other local businesses. In order to bring birds, you MUST be a member of the LPF. Membership is free and it takes about 1 minute to join. Members that attend this event will...

I am mostly a lurker here, but this made me chuckle...my doberman's name is Karma and he would be a lot quicker!

The little appenzellar hatched yesterday!

Hi everyone! It has been awhile since I have posted here. Thought I would drop in and say hello! I have had a lot going on at my place. Still working on the new coop, hope to have chickens in it by Sunday. I bought 24 Polish babies that are now 18 days old. Mixed colors. Gold Laced, white...

That is pretty neat, the gosling under the hen.

Hi everyone, I just wanted to invite you to a brand new forum...no activity yet, come on over and help me get it off the ground. There are the usual care areas and also places to post your birds for sale. www.louisianapoultryfanciers.com Hope to see you there!

I am looking for help in understanding polish color genetics and the do/do nots of breeding them. Is it ok to mix colors, ie buff laced rooster with a silver laced hen? If so, what would the results be? I am also a bit confused on the bantam/standard issue. What is the size for each and can...

I have 8 babies in the brooder now and one still hatching. I am pleased with the number. 9 out of a dozen doesn't sound like a bad ratio. This number nine though is taking its sweet time. I am hoping all is well.

I am a newbie to this myself, but from all the reading I have been doing, I would wonder about it being too warm and the chicks hatching early at day 20. Hopefully someone with more experience will chime in. The incubator looks pretty cool though, just maybe the temperature tweak is needed.

I was curious about this piece and tried doing a little quick research. I found a brooder light that is selling for over 300. alone. I could imagine what this incubator would go for. http://www.etsy.com/listing/111707245/buckeye-colony-incubator-light I just found this old advertisement for...

I put a dozen eggs in a hovabator still air incubator on the evening of March 7th. I attempted to candle at 8 days and could not really tell what I was looking at (newbie here). Then I candled at 15 days. Five of the brown eggs showed very active chicks inside. The green eggs though, I could not...

I have read the threads where the chicken water nipples are used for watering systems. I could not locate a specific answer on whether or not rabbit water nipples could be used. My local feed store has these, along with the pvc "T"s that have the screw in hole for the brass nipple. They are a...

Thank you for the warm welcome.

Hello and greetings from Louisiana. I recently "acquired" 2 black hens and two roosters because they kept coming down to my house and my neighbor said he didn't want them anymore. They had already decimated my winter garden,so I came to the conclusion that I had to fence the chickens or fence...
