For shipping I used to sell them when I had extra that's been a long time thought. I take a brown paper lunch sack toss mealworms in handful of medium fold bag down flat, tape shut place is small bubble mailer. $2 or less to ship. I would also be interested in buying some possibly
The bigger the better but not giant as some have been treated w chemicals to get big. Mine go threw them like candy 3 chickens can devour 50 in minutes. I give them as a treat and to tame chickens so no idea if they even effect egg production you would have to feed a tom I would think to make a...
The chicken math has really hit I have adult bantams 12, then I bought Buff Orpington's, Lavender Oripington's and french black copper marans. Now I'm putting in 36 eggs I've lost my mind. As soon as these hatch I have a lady wanting me to do her eggs for spiting. How many chickens can I fit on...
Yes the duck eggs take a week longer, I don't even own a duck or ever have but the guy ask me if I wanted some eggs so I said why not. I may move the chicken eggs for lock down I do have the option. I have people wanting me to hatch eggs for them because I have the space so I'm trying to figure...
I'm in the checking stage now, temp is sitting steady at 102. I have 24 eggs Black Australorp or Buff orpington or crosses it's a surprise. I'm also adding 12 Peking duck eggs which I have read may or may not work but i'm trying it. Chickens will be moved and ducks left in bator is my current plan.
I may be completely wishful thinking here but for my first incubator experiment I have 24 eggs, the flock they came from was all Buff Orpington & Black Australorp purebred hens & roosters is there any chance to tell pure breed birds at any age? Sorry for the silly questions I'm new to this.
Thank you. I was planning to leave it alone, originally I had a sponge inside which I removed I'm down to 56% now. I'm using 2 digital gauges I bought have not checked them, outside reading was from the weather channel. I'm all about learning so I maybe asking some silly questions for a bit.
I'm using a Farm Innovators still air with turner, I'm trying to get set up for my first batch of egg. I am concerned about humidity. The humidity in the room is 61% relative in the incubator which I have gotten to temperature it's currently at 74% relative humidity has gotten to 80%with not a...

I've wanted chickens forever but had no where to keep them, well I leased a new farm so I built a chicken room. I picked up a flock of bantams that a local lady didn't want they were free range needless to say they are not very friendly. I've been working with them daily but not making fast...
I'm newer to chickens but I have been raising mealworms for 5 years. I pretty much toss mine some food and sift out dust maybe once a month if that, they thrive possibly could get more with more dictated care but I'm happy with them. You can also add things to make your mealworms more nutritious...
