Kansas State University has done research for the last 10 years and formulated a livestock feed for cattle that will pass the Omega 3 to the meat. I know Purina makes a fortified feed for chickens and hear about high Omega 3 eggs, but has any research been done as to passing this on to the...

Anyone have an idea what this guy could be a cross of? I've got him running with my Delaware right now, for protection mainly. The Delaware roo I hatched out lost the battle with a fox while trying to protect his harem.

Back in December 11 I posted photo's of some chicks from this cross. About a month ago they started laying. I am really satisfied with the egg I'm getting. Egg on left is from the cross; middle is Delaware; right is the red sex link egg from a hen used in the cross.

I've used a homemade incubator in the past, but bought a bunch of waterers & 3 used LG's early this spring. One is forced air & came with 2 turners - neither work (older model). I purchased a new turner, & while temp is steady, I find it a real pain compared to my homemade to keep humidity...

What's so strange, is I bought them from a breeder about 40 miles away. Finally got a pic of some 3-4 days old And the parent stock. Maybe she meant "domesticated" Mallard?

I didn't even plan it, but I was checking my calendar this morning & I should have April Fool's Day chicks. I wonder what I should expect out of the ordinary. Like they'll all hatch at once with little signs; or.....nobody will hatch.

Soo, why so many different chickens??? Not really, but someone semi local has 10 2-3 yr old hens & 5 roo's for sale. She says not hatchery stock & some direct Bev Davis lines. I really like the dark eggs of the Marans. She's asking $50 for a trio; says they are breeder quality. Anyone want...

Brinsea Octagon Eco 20 with Auto Turner I bought this system at the end of November 2011. Ran a couple hatches through it & was very impressed with ease of use. My neighbor has 2 cabinet incubators & is setup better for hatching & brooding than I am (ie, wife doesn't like all the dust &...

Been busy working outside today. Collected eggs this morning when I "did chores". Came home for lunch, & found these. They looked like marbles in the pen. I know the birds have been under a little stress, as I sold 10 Tibetans & 10 10 day olds this weekend, so I split them out to give more...

The lady I purchased these from at about 1 week old said they were mallards, & while I filled out the necessary paperwork for our state to purchase some ringneck pheasants from her, I didn't have to fill out anything for the ducks. I can't find any pictures of them in the bathtub when they were...

I hatched some chukar last June. If I put them under some artificial light & the right temperature should they start laying early? I read somewhere that they will. Would this shorten their normal laying season? Anything too detrimental to forcing them to start early?

I just couldn't pass up 25 golden eggs on Ebay. Got them today, setting them tomorrow. couldn't tell for sure, but thought the seller is or was a member here previously from Louisiana. Be my first goldens, so another reason not to give my new brinsea a rest. Hatched out 10 pharaoh's (my...

I am waiting for some shipped eggs to hatch. I let the eggs rest 24 hours before setting & set one of own eggs with them. Yesterday one of the shipped eggs pipped & is not out; this morning my own egg pipped & at lunch was already out. No other shipped eggs have pipped. I set the shipped...

Bought some black Friday auction eggs from charm 1704 & I can't believe it's already day 20 & starting to pip. Surely someone has photos of chicks they hatched from her. The next 2 days is going to seem longer than the first 20.

Sooooo I drive an hour to see what's at the Chris small auction and I come away with 8 dozen coturnix eggs at .40/dozen. Wanted some white coturnix they had, but didn't need them after the eggs when they were $4.25 a piece. Guess I should have taken some to sell,

I couldn't help it, that's just what it sounds like " I want outtttt". They are about 4 1/2 wks old & I wasn't expecting it for a few wks yet.

Was at the grocery store with my wife. A whole chicken was like $8.73. Couldn't believe it, why would anyone sell young rosters cheap if this is the case?

I've raised ringneck pheasants; just recently sold them. I seen this ad fairly locally. Sounds cheap for decent looking bird. I've emailed for more pic's & information. Description in ad says "One cock and two hen Silver Pheasants for sale. They are around 2 years old". Top of ad says $20...

My wife's out of town, so I decided to have a grilled cheese - egg & cheese, that is. The egg looked so nice I had to grab the camera. I texted it to my daughters & they said it looked fake. It is taken with a Digital SLR, but totally untouched otherwise. I don't know what I'd do if I had to...

Trying to talk myself into one of these 2 bator's. Was sold on the 1588 w/turner then they had to put the Brinsea on sale. I like the capacity of the 1588, but the Brinsea seems like it would be more durable. Anyone with experience with both of these and prefer one over the other? Only one...
