Quote: I'm trying to stay away from soybean meal and I would love to find a local source for fish meal so instead I've been feeding Farmer's Helper Ultra Kibble since I was mixing my own feed anyway...between sprouts and feeding UK WOW is all I can say and it has made feeding much easier and...

Drom for my palomino mare I fed her foal lac pellets it did darken her coat color that was animal protein same goes for calf manna......whey is found in several horse feeds and my horses love eggs in their feeds.

Quote: NO WAY! I will NOT bring a rooster in the house! Hmmmm, I have a garage though ..... It doesn't take much light brightness wise even the roo doing a partial moult has good eggs.....from my Christmas lights no less bought a 9.99 dusk timer set it to go off at 10.30pm and they're...

I have both my Marans lay more eggs and they are darker and shinier...My Welsummers are smaller than my Marans but lay an egg almost as dark just a matte finish and the egg is smaller too. They are both beautiful but the Welsummers make more noise they are very proud of that egg and they get...

Quote: Okay I'm in line first I want darker eggs though mine aren't that bad yours gonna have feathered shanks? That's what I'm working on....among other things

a white feather or a partial white feather is a fault more white feathers can be a DQ if you are showing if you are planning on breeding birds to sell you should invest in a Standard of Perfection kinda like being a member of AQHA and getting a rule book then you know the rules to play by and...

Quote: I have received eggs that had a broken one in the box and got all over the eggs so I washed them with TekTrol and got a few to hatch and not everyone ships eggs like you so I've cleaned dirty ones and had a hatch too using TekTrol cuts down on the smell in the incubator and big...

Quote: With dirty eggs I use TecTrol I don't see any difference in the hatch rate just the smell and you can buy the aerosol spray for the top of the incubator...Turkey eggs are the worst I dip all of those. I can't explain the smell good though without the TecTrol it's a sour smell not rotten.

None of mine liked the heat either they slowed down but didn't stop they don't seem to like big swings in temps from day to day because I have a 50 degree change from morning to mid day in the summer and that's okay but if one day was 100 and then one was 80 with the swing I didn't get as many...

Quote: Seafood and berries. That's where it ends. You can grow ANY and EVERY kind of berry out here, but good luck trying anything else without a greenhouse. Potatoes and Cabbage and the common sort do well, but things like Tomatoes, Fruit Trees, Nut Trees, Grapes, Squash, and Melons REALLY...

Well my husband wanted it turn key so when I left for the weekend all he has to do is collect eggs and check the feed and water. I was reading the Heritage site about digging a 5" trench and sprouting oats in it I can't get mine to feed sprouts when I'm gone so I might try that idea he would...

Be careful of predators I have seen the fox thank goodness he hasn't tried to get to anything yet but he can..I live in the same kind of area and I know we have raccoons and skunks too and when the dogs start barking like crazy at night I know something is prowling around I just hope they stay...

I'll try and take some I have a couple that lay what I would call satin I like the dark reddish glossy ones..

I didn't think the rain would get this far north or west...I guess I'll be seeing what it did on the news it really poured by Templeton

Just got back in the house we had a flash flood watch big ole thunder boomers rained hard all around us because we were outside covering stuff up.....

There's not many "perfect" ones and for what I have I might need a different roo than you would it's all in the balance...really though anything I've hatched that looked pretty good has had one bad fault so out comes the axe. I have one now that's getting to grow out "Davis" lines that is a...
