Sorry! my last post didn't include the photos. I got 5 SGE's, and one is defintely a rooster. I think Coconut is, too! Roo Boy is bigger and much lighter than the others, with a more developed comb and wattle.
I got 5 SEE from TSC, too, last month. I think Coconut is a rooster! Here is a photo of my 5 (theyre in quarantine right now), and of my Roo Boy.
Aloha, I got 3 SGE's from TSC last month, and 1 is a rooster. What if I breed them together? I know Hybrids do not breed true, but I don't hear...
Aloha! I got 5 Starlight Green Eggers from Tractor Supply in Hilo a month ago (they originated from Hoovers, as that's their TM name), and theyre legs are all yellow. They are all light colored, predominanly white right now, with some red feathers coming out. One of my hens has one dark...
So are Lohmann Brown and Red Sex Link the same? And the Golden Comet? Because what I find when I look them up, is different amount of eggs laid, and starting at different weeks of age.
I forgot mention, the hot house is 40' log (5' between 8 ribs), 16' wide, and it's about 36 feet over the arch. So we're covering the arch with 6 mil plastic, it's very durable, and lasts long here, but only about 3/4's of the way down on both sides. Then, wire from there to the ground. I'm...

Aloha! The only real predators here on the Big Island, are mongoose, feral cats, and maybe some neighbors loose dogs. I set traps for mongoose and feral cats, and getting the dogs in our yard is rare. I think it will be hot in there, but both ends will be open, as well as from about halfway...
Hey all, so the above pics are of the hothouse that will be my new coop. It is 40 feet long, with 5 feet between ribs. It will be covered with 6 mil hot house plastic. In one pic, you can see where there is wood, a little past mid way down, and we secure the plastic to this. From the wood...
Hey all! I didn't get to the replies yet, but I wanted to post pics of the old hot house that will be the new coop. Well, half of it is designated to be a coop!
I got this late, but tomorrow, I will take pics and measurements for you! I know that it is 40 feet long and 16 feet wide. and it is about 30 feet over the arch.
