I've got a fabulous little Pyncheon roo. Truly tiny but don't tell him that! He's got a huge personality!
I want to enter him in a local bantam show at our tri state fair, the only thing is his comb is so large that it droops over to the side. It's perfectly straight, just flops over, almost...
I have a home made styrofoam incubator that use to have a hot water heater lower thermostat which recently blew. I decided I wanted a digital thermosta, a bit more precise and after searching the the forums I saw one I liked that someone linked in a post. I bought one but for the life of me I...
We have a bird sanctuary in our local park and they recently lost their only female mallard and their only male is very lonely! They also have far more male wood ducks than females. If anyone has females they would consider donating they would greatly appreciate it! Or if you have eggs you could...
We have a bird sanctuary in our local park that is having a real problem with mice and snakes killing young birds... I suggested guinea fowl... if anyone has some guinea fowl or fertile hatching eggs they might consider donating please let me know. I hatch for them so I can hatch myself.
They're...
We have a bird sanctuary that recently lost all of its bobwhite quail. I hatch for them so I'm trying to help find someone that would consider donating some quail or fertile eggs I can hatch for them.
They're also looking for a peacock or eggs and fancy pigeons and a female mallard duck (their...
We have a bird sanctuary in our local park that has a peacock and 3 peahens. The Amarillo zoo recently lost their male and were asking about getting one from us. Sadly this male doesn't seem to have good fertility... neither us (I help hatch their eggs) nor their hens are having much luck...
I currently have a gqf 1583 hova bator styrofoam incubator, the kind that has a wafer thermostat. I'm also working on a home made incubator from a styrofoam cooler, but what I would really like is an incubator with a digital thermostat... I've looked at the Janoel JN12, the gqf 1588 hova bator...
I ordered 4 sets of eggs online;
Tolbunt Polish
Frizzled Americauna
Showgirls
Mille Fleur Naked Necks
My sellers sent me so many extras that I actually didn't have enough room in my turner for all the eggs. I tried to candle abd see if any had busted air sacs but the bulb on my candler blew...
A lot of people are really boasting about this "dry hatch". I haven't incubated in a couple of years and pulled my incubator out for this recent batch of eggs I just had shipped. The eggs have been sitting at room temp for a couple of days while I'm trying to get the temp steady in the...
OK, I have 2 digital thermometer/hygrometers, one is pretty old and I used it a few years ago when I did a lot of hatching and I recently put a new battery in it. The second one is brand new I just bought a few days ago. I put them both in my empty incubator and noticed I was getting vastly...

Winner gets 6 tickets to Medieval Times and Id love to take my Godsons and their mom as a christmas present (since Id never be able to afford that many tickets under normal circumstances).
Its the very last video on the page and you can vote once per email address. Contest ends in 4 days so...
I'm looking for reasonably priced infertile or already hollowed Emu and Goose eggs. Im aware that these are out of season right now but I was hoping someone had a few to spare. I'm painting them so I don't need fertile eggs and I am willing to hollow them myself. Please let me know if you have...
Is it a peacock and pheasant hybrid? (if so, does the peacock mate the female pheasant or does the male pheasant mate the peahen?) or is it just a type of pheasant that is called Peacock? Which brings into question if Peacocks and Pheasants can cross breed? I think peacocks are a type of...
We have a flock of about 20 mixed peafowl (they free range so no telling who the black shoulder male and white pied females mate with). Was wondering what their eggs should sell for and since I wont be keeping all the chicks that hatch this year what the young should sell for. Thanks!
I wasn't sure where to post this, but here goes!
First of all this is NOT for a debate of whether or not dying baby chicks is right or wrong. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but do NOT argue about it here.
I am trying to collect information. I have heard from many people that the process...
forgive me in advance typing with only my left hand
some of you may or may not know i work with exotic animals for a living.
yesterday one of the animals attacked me and did quite a number on my right hand my dominant hand hence the left hand typing. My hand swelled the size of a softball and...
Looking to buy a simple set of capon tools. I seem to have become a "Rooster Rescue" Since I dont have the heart to kill any of them, but I cant have these guys breeding my hens and fighting each other. I have some young males that were leftovers from the local feed stores and some that were...
I set my first load in my incubator a few weeks ago, 2 dozen eggs. Cochins, Jersey Giants, Silkies and Seramas. ALL the serama eggs hatched (11), 4 of the 5 silkies, the 4 cochin eggs but none of the JG. So now I have 19 babies running arond in a kiddie pool in my living room. On top of that 2...
I thought you could appreciate this guy:
Just bought him a few weeks ago for my speckled shizzle breeding project. Hes already won a trophy and some ribbons in misc categories.
