GA'DAY FROM ONTARIO, (GAMEFOWL)

HEY THERE BUCK FROM ONTARIO,

BEEN ON HERE A FEW TIMES FOR 'TIPS AND TRICKS' TO RAISE BETTER FOWL, I RAISE ASILS, BOSTON ROUNDHEADS, AND A COUPLE OTHER CROSSES, LOOKING TO FIND FOLKS WITH SOME GOOD HEALTHY HENS, TO INCREASE FLOCK SIZE, I HAVE A GAME HEN (THE REST DIDN'T MAKE THE WINTER), SO I HAVE (3) STAGS THAT NEED HENS (4-5 EACH) ,

SO IF YOUR NEAR THE BORDER OF CANADA OR ALREADY RAISE FOWL ON THIS SIDE OF THE FENCE, LET ME KNOW WHATS AVAILABLE!!

I CAUGHT YOUR "INCUBATOR FEVER" LAST YEAR , HATCHED, SILKIES FOR BROOD HENS, ASILS, BLACK GAME HENS, BRHXRIR (NEAT COLORING BY THE WAY, MY BRH ROOSTER GOT MY OLD RIR HEN BEFORE SHE PASTED AWAY, AND I WAS ABLE TO HATCH THE SINGLE EGG, SHE WILL BE CROSSED BACK TO BRH ROOSTER, I ALSO HAVE THIS UNIDENTIFIED GAME HEN , THAT SOMEONE I HOPE CAN HELP DETERMINE HER BREED, SHES FROM THE STATES AND WAS CALLED A (HEMSLEY LINE GAME HEN?)

Hi there and welcome to BYC!

You have a very nice flock. Looks like Chicken Math strikes again!!

Great to have you aboard and enjoy all your hatches and your gorgeous flock!

Nice set up # 1



Try using a pencil on your egg's not a marker



Great job and lot's of really nice photos

THANKS FOLKS, NOT MANY AS ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT THERE FLOCKS, AS I AROUND MY AREA, I'VE BUILT ANBOUT 9 COOLER-BATORS FOR NEIGHBOURS, AND EVEN GAVE MY PERSONAL ONE AWAY TO THIS LADY THAT WANTED TO START QUAIL (CORTEX) SP? AND KICKIN MY SELF NOW, CAUSE THERE ALL LAYING AGAIN NOW, WERE STILL AT -10 TO -30 ANY GIVEN DAY HERE... I BUILT AN WOOD ONE OUT OF AN OLD KITCHEN CUBARD, BUT IT WONT STAY WARM ENOUGH THOSE COOLERS ARE AWESOME INCUBATORS,

I WOULD LOVE TO GET PLANS TO BUILD THIS TYPE OF INCUBATOR, I RAISE ENOUGH (CHICKEN, RABBIT, AND QUAIL MEET A YEAR FOR 15-20 DOGS. SO INCUBATORS SEEM TO BE A WAY OF LIFE HERE NOW,


ANY TIPS FOR WINTER HATCHING? BUILDING TYPES. (R-VALUE INSULATION RECOMENDATIONS, ) WE GET -34--40 SOME WINTERS,

MOST OF MY FLOCKS HARDY AND WOULD SURVIVE A WINTER SITTING UP IN A TREE BRANCH, BUT MY RESENT ORDER FROM THE SOUTH, (THIS WINTER LEFT ME WITH 2/10 HENS LEFT!!) AND THAT WAS IN A BUILDING,!!

Hello and Welcome To BYC! Sounds like you have a really nice set up for your birds, sorry about the ones you lost, this has been a rough winter.
A good place to post pictures if you want help identifying birds is the What Breed Or Gender Is This Forum, or on threads for the type of bird it is if you know. Here is are a couple of threads on games where people might be able to help https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/106767/show-off-your-games and https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/613455/show-off-your-american-gamefowl ... you may also be able to find breeders who have hens available in those kinds of threads

You might try posting in the Canada thread, or in the state threads for the states near you for a better chance of finding local birds. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/270925/find-your-states-thread When you have 20 posts you can also post a Want ad in the BYC Buy-Sell-Trade forum (and check out the sales).

i am not sure if you have seen it, but there is a section on homemade incubators in the BYC Coops section, most have details on how to make them, some fo those might be what you are looking for? https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/homemade-chicken-egg-incubator-designs-pictures

For tips on dealing with your weather, I would check out what people in the Canada thread and state threads with similar weather recommend, there are also some threads that have nice nice tips on dealing with winter https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/822765/winter-is-coming-checklists-tips-advice-for-a-newbie and this thread has links to some good articles https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/736771/can-chickens-stand-the-cold-weather
