    Canadian Breeder list

    Hello I thought I would post on here what I have available for sale. Chicks and eggs available but I can only ship eggs not chicks. I do make trips to Innisfail, Calgary, Lethbridge and Moose Jaw so possibly meeting up with someone along the way for chicks would work out ok as well. Black...

    Slow to hatch

    Can you see if they are breathing in the eggs? Sometimes the pipped shells will move a bit? Some chicks take up to 24 hours to come out after pipping and since today is their actual hatch day I wouldn't be too concerned yet, as long as you can see some movement. Is the humidity high enough that...

These are summer breeding houses so if you did go 2 pallets long then it would supply some room if they are shut in for inclement weather. These ones we built are 4' Square and have a slanted roof 5' tall at...

    Incubating Duck eggs

    I have a question, I set 12 Rouen eggs in the incubator, at day 14 removed 2 that were not growing.

    Sheep people I need advice

    Thank you everyone for your advice. I will continue to hold the ewe for a couple weeks, hopefully she will take to this little gal. The problem being is she is not very tame once let out so catching her to hold is a bit difficult once we let her out of the barn, but hopefully by 2 weeks the mom...

    Whizbang Plucker

    What we use as a scalder is quite simple. A round metal container about 2 ft across by 3 ft tall, we heat it by using a tiger torch run by propane. The flame hits the side of the container and in 1 hr you have water to the temperature for scalding. I know other people that use a tin garbage can...

    Whizbang Plucker

    What is the rpm on your motor? Or if you gear it down what should the rpm be? We found a 1hp motor but it is 3450 rpm, much to fast for the plucker, we found a gear reducer but we need to know the optimal rpms. Thanks
