    Review by '' on item 'Bobwhite'

    I don't really see all this frailty everyone talks about. I hatched out 75 and at 3 weeks old I put them in a grow out pen. The temp is in the high 50's and 60's. I have a heat lamp on one end of the pen but they quit using it and just do what nature calls them to do, covey up. I lost 3 out of...

    Double yolk eggs

    I guess it could have twins if both yolks were fertilized but I really doubt an egg like that would ever hatch, Two embryos competing inside one egg would be a problem, I think.

    Do you report egg/poultry sales as income on your taxes?

    The best thing is to try and stay square with Uncle Sam. The best way to beat the tax man is to keep good records. My partners and I are all CPA's certified in forensic accounting and we specialize in farms, mostly cattle, goats and large poultry houses. We do audits and lots of em particularly...

    Do you report egg/poultry sales as income on your taxes?

    Talon is correct bartered goods must be claimed for the fair market value as other income on the 1040, or gross income on the schedule C, If filing a schedule F it would be claimed as products / livestock raised. There is some discussion about the traceability and accountability of cash...

    Do you report egg/poultry sales as income on your taxes?

    I do taxes for a living. You are supposed to report ALL income to the IRS if you are required to file. You will file a schedule F if it is a agricultural venture. On this schedule you will show expenses and income. If it is not a business venture but a hobby you will show the income as other...

    Incubator search

    Acouple weeks ago I ran across these folks that manufacture incubators. I thought that I got their web site from one of these forums. They built cabinet style incubators out of redwood and to me ( at least on the surface) they looked like a real high quality product for about the same price as a...

    Comment by 'Bobaroni' in item 'Hatcheries, Day Old Chicks'

    Years ago I used a hatchery out of Cameron, TX where Ideal is located called Hornung Brothers. They have long since gone so I use Ideal and they have always done me right. One thing I used to love about the old Hornung Brothers was every year the would send us this big beautiful calendar with...

    Pecking Order and the new chook, when to interfere

    I have a coop that is 32 feet long by 8' wide. I use an 8x8 partition for a brooder and grow out pen. It is seperated from the main coop only by poultry netting where they can see each other. At 4 or 5 weeks of age, when they are sufficiently feathered, the chicks are moved to the...

    Day Time Attacks - any advice?

Raccoons are a nocturnal animal, it is rare they scavenge during daylight hours much less go into predator mode. Here is something you might find interesting though and might find to your advantage.
