I have 5 Buddy Henry Wheaton Marans hatched on 14 Feb 10 that I am giving away for pick up only. West Central Florida pick up. They are all roosters. I hatched out 5 and they all turned out to be roosters. If you need a good rooster from great blood lines, this is for you. 20 minutes on...

I have a 10X15 ft space to use to build a structure. The 10 foot part is from the wall of the house to the wood fence. I was going to only go 6ft wide so that I would have about 4 foot of access to the side of the house and put the other side up against the wood fence. So the foot print is 6...

This will be my first attempt to incubate eggs. I decided to provide a photo blog here of the attempt. I just got the eggs in by mail from Backwoods Poultry Farm. Buddy was very nice and sent three Wyandottes as a favor with no guarantees do to the flock's eggs not being tested with two new...

I have some eggs being shipped this week. What would be the best day to put the eggs in the incubator so that they hatch on a weekend. I know that they start to hatch on day 21 but does that mean I should make that a friday so that I can be there Friday night through Sunday night? Does the...

I just got the King Suro 20 in the mail yesterday and set it up this morning. I wanted to check out how it keeps temps and humidity with the auto function on. How long should it take for the system to keep a constant temp and humidity? I was thinking of keeping it going for a week or so...

Just a short note to say that I'm thinking about a few hens for the back yard. I want a variety of color in the eggs. My three year old is very interested but the wife is another story..... I think I have narrowed it down to Buckeyes, Marans, Americana, Aracana, EE, and Welsummers. I wanted...
