Incubator finally landed in Rotterdam, apparently the ship had to divert it's course because of the war. So hopefully it will arrive here in Ireland fairly quick now as it's at least in the eu. I've ordered the hatching eggs from Slovenia for a June delivery. They are €0.50 a piece (plus...

That's a good price. Ours works out at just under €16 per 20kg plus delivery. And that's a good deal cheaper than buying it on the local Agri stores. It can be anywhere 18-25 per 20kg around here.

Anyone here ordered layers pellets by the ton? What's the price where you are? We just ordered at €840 a ton for organic.

Looks interesting. I'll have a listen on the train tomorrow.

Started work on rebuilding the shed for our 400 egg hatchery conversion. Knocking down and rebuilding the rotten and woodwormed walks. Video here

The incubator should be arriving in Europe in the next couuple of days and then a short hop skip and a jump to us. Work has started on disassembling the shed and rebuilding it into a hatchery. Most of the uprights, and many of the cladding boards are rotten as they weren't treated for about 20...

Thanks for the informative answer! We're planning on raising about 3-400 this season. Ordering 400 hatching eggs bit they have quite a distance to travel so expecting some retardation of the hatching rate.

Interested in all in depth poultry based podcasts, but in particular if they have episodes about breeding and genetics.

TThe wont be here until mid summer. Just working on getting the hatchery ready ATM.

Where is it?

Waiting for the land to dry up enough to move 100 ton of manure out to the garden. The ground is like a nuns knickers where I am - sopping.

I would love to delve into the breeders,breeds and hybrids that were present in this infamous competition, and see the scorecards and records. Can they be found anywhere?

If it’s your first time, I can recommend not getting to fancy. Keep it simple stupid! Just use bagged mash crumb/pellets for the first few months - experiment with fermented feeds next year. Formulated feeds (pellets and crumb) have been specifically and carefully created to provide...

Hi folks I feel compelled to share a few shots of my favourite book - modern poultry husbandry (1948). These shots show drawings for diy feed troughs - easy and cheap to make.

They are essentially a strain from RIR bred solely for production. Any other RIR I’ve seen doesn’t have the same egg count though.
