    HELP....my turkeys are dying!

    I purchase 15 standard bronze turkey chicks about 2 1/2 months ago. I didn't have a problem with them while they were young, but now they are starting to die off. I have lost 5 in the last 2 weeks, 3 of those in the last 4 days! They all seem to be healthy. All but one died overnight. I saw the...

    Pic of my wild looking EE x roo

    Here is a pic of one of the wildest looking roos that I have raised. He almost looks like he has flames on his neck. He is 1/2 EE, 1/4 BR, and 1/4 Game. I had a sister to him that was the completely the color of his grey/blueish feathers. Lost her (and about 30 others) to a bobcat recently though.

    Eggs from tiny to huge this week!

    Here is a pic of the range of eggs that I have had this week. All of my hens are LF. The left egg is the smallest that I have had so far, #2 is the average size that I get, and #'s 3 & 4 are doubles that I got today (and my largest so far).

    Results from first incubation attempt.

    Here are my results from my first attempt at incubating some eggs: I started with a still air LG w/turner using the dry method. The eggs that I had came from a fellow member. There was an offer for 12 Barred Rock and 12 White Leghorn for a reasonable price, so that is what I started with. She...

    Day 18..Can't get my humidity up...HELP!!

    I am on day 18 today. I have a LG bator. I removed my turner today, refilled the water wells and added 3 additional small bowls of water but still only have 53% humidity. Will this be enough, or do I need to add more water (and if so, what is the best way to add the water)? The eggs are looking...

    Will my hens start laying again this winter?

    I was wondering if I can expect the hens that I bought a week ago to start laying again over the winter or if it will be next spring. The guy raised them from chicks back around April (the best that he remembers), so I am guessing that they could be anywhere from 32-36 weeks old. There are 5...

    I jumped in head first yesterday.....and now own my first flock!

    We had planned on getting some chicks in the spring, but I ran across an add in a local paper a couple of days ago for some chickens for sale. Gave the guy a call, he said that he had 12 RIR hens and 4 RIR roos. Me and my step father spent most of the day yesterday working on a coop and run then...

    Can I mix my own feed?

    I live in a large farming community and for a living, myself, my brother, and my dad work on farm machinery. Due to this, we have good relationships with many of the local farmers. I can buy corn, wheat, rice, milo, oats, and peas from the farmers right off of the combine for market price, which...

    I am afraid that my eggs are lost in the mail:(

    I received the eggs yesterday. They were in good shape. I only hope that they didn't freeze somewhere along the way. None were cracked or broken, so I don't think that they did.

    I am afraid that my eggs are lost in the mail:(

    I placed my first order for some eggs to try to hatch from a fellow member just over a week ago. They were shipped via priority mail from Florida to Arkansas and the delivery confirmation number shows that they were scanned into the post office for shipping on November 29th, but still no...

    Setting bator up for first batch...can't get humidity right!

    I am trying to get a LG bator ready for its first batch of eggs. It is a still air model w/turner. I have the temps stable at about 99.5 at the level of the turner and 101 at the level that the top of the eggs will be. I can't seem to get the humidity above 40% though. All of the water troughs...
