Helloooo, I hope everyone reading this is doing well. So I got some Brahma chicks a few months ago that have turned mature recently. Now I’m quite sure the problems I will be talking about are inherited and therefore incurable. First off the roo has a bad leg. He can still walk and apparently...
Even though it has one eye and is 4 years old, this rooster still manages to hold its own. But yeah i cage one of them every other day so they can both enjoy foraging.
Hi everyone, i just got a an aseel rooster which are known to be crazy territorial. I was hoping a quick face off would decide the pecking order but the turkey seems adamant to not lose. Their fight went on for three minutes before i put an end to it by grabbing the turkey. Right now the rooster...
Hello,
I am getting ready for my first batch of 200 eggs that I will be hatching and I was wondering if there was any way that I could make a automatic water filler for the water tray in my incubator, so that I can fill a massive reservoir of water once every incubation batch. Right now I have...
I've made the same mistake and ordered 250 eggs. Since I've already paid I don't think turning back is a choice now. I'll try putting in another hatching tray and having a guy help me out candle the eggs on the 8th day to see how many eggs didn't develop. Also, yea I'm putting them all in at the...
I'm guessing that won't be an issue assuming I'll be keeping around 70 of them. If it is I do have space for more perches. Right now, all the chickens and turkeys huddle together on the highest perch.
I have only one tray for hatching with no cover, I can probably make one and maaaybe put in another hatching tray, but wouldn't that affect ventilation to the lower level? I've attached two images that hopefully explain. Also, while heavy buffs do slightly resemble buff orpingtons, I'm not sure.
Sorry for not being clearer. The eggs are chicken eggs and are BAs, black silkies, plymouth rocks and heavy buffs(idk the official breed name for this one). They are hatching trays for after pulling from the setter.Finally this is a manufactured build with 3 levels of self rotating trays, and...
From my experience, ducks can be very aggressive. However, only initially to put the pecking order into place, just like any bird. Drakes are also reasonably loud. Also, yes a pair of them is good enough for them. Finally, ducks don't roost and will be perfectly happy sleeping on soft straw or...
Hello, I was just wondering how many eggs can fit inside a 20'x15' hatching tray. Also, considering I have ordered 250 eggs in total, how can i candle them without putting them at risk.
P.S. If you think I'm planning on putting 250 eggs in that hatching tray, you're right, well at least I'm...
I might have used the term coop wrong, the "coop" is only for roosting and everything, including their hatching crates, food and water supply are separate. There's got to be around 50-60 feet of perches for roosting but I will have to check. And yea the run is secure, and while they will have...
