Perfect!!! Great pics and info. I was going to have to spring $150 for the handyman to build me a door and add tin roof. I think I've just lucked out, my buddy on the layers (La) thread is going to babysit for me. Taking her some Blosl and XW eggs for her to hatch. Hope it works. Ha

Hey, Bee. Quick question. Why use only the Blosl?. Just a personal favorite? Another thing that goes under the heading of "What was I thinking"? I hatched five Sebrights an a mix of my Blosl roo over a blue layer. Just playing. Now I have to make the heating pad and wire brooder for my...

Quote: Woohoo Bee!!! Just went out to the coop and found my first Blosl egg. Yea!! I have her with the Coronation Sussex and 2 blue egg layers and all those have started. Still waiting on the other coop of the XW trio. No eggs yet. But I'm hoping. Just eating for right now ( and isn't that...

Hey, Bee, good to see this thread back in action. I just bought the Sunbeam heating pad so I can make the coop brooder when the time comes. I'm really looking forward to the coming year. Getting the knee replaced in March will slow me down a bit, but I still have plenty of time to get some...

These are so stinking cute. Love them. I have Coronation Sussex in the incubator now.

This time of the year I'm surprised that you have time to eat your lunch. I know business is good for you right now. (after the winter we've had)

@ Beekissed Ok so all 3 are reading 99, 100 and the wiggler is 99.4. Is that sufficient or should I dial it up a notch?

What is the inside temperature supposed to be in the water wiggler. 103?

Better get her walker ready. She gonna need it soon.

Bee I got talked into buying 20 CX coming to South La. My fairly local friend is going to pick up hers and mine. They'll be about 10 days old when I get them. Going to put in the coop with a heating pad but I don't think I'll need it. Mid June in La is hot. Now for a freezer.

Yeah, I was so smart that I bought the wiggler but I bought the thingy without the probe. It's a couple of degrees less than the incubator. Ordered the correct one. I came out this morning and the incubator said 103 and inside it said 99. Lowered it a tad but it's difficult. My good eggs...

Ok got my new incubator up and running. Getting some SBEL's tomorrow (Blue eggs) That's my practice. Then I've been reading up on the Basque Hens and they are very heat resistant as well as cold resistant. And shipped eggs hatch better. So I'm going to do them next. So excited. I've been...

So today I go out and find a white bird legs up. I think well I didn't even have time to cull him. Then I see "him" limping over. The dead bird was one of my white rock pullets. Throat torn out. So!!! My Fort Knox is not as secure as I'd hoped. I'd noticed that the door hinge was...

That's what I thought you would say. I suggested it to my daughter in Austin. Stupid me. Forgot who I was talking to. Came across as a murderer. I think he'll just turn up missing one day and no one will notice.

Yeah my one remaining Delaware male is puny as all get out. He's gimpy and stays out of everybody's way. Half the size of all the 15 girls. All are healthy and active. I am torn on this. He's not in much pain I don't think. Not a pet. Just a scrungy looking little bird. Cull? Or let...

x2 Bee Waiting with you.

Knowing that storms were coming I did the best I could putting tarp on the West and part of South side of the coop. So at least some of the place was dry. I have a tin roof but nothing but wire sides. It is sure a learning experience. I tied it in a bow knot so I can take it down easy. But...

Great news!!! Still going tobe in DFW area? I'm out of Shreveport. Love going to Dallas

That baby wanted to live. Good for you.

Bee, I'm so sorry, I hadn't heard. That's a real shame.
