    Roaches - Feeders, Pets, etc.

    In the wild but extremely difficult to replicate in captivity. I'd say easily, well over 90% of captive glowspot roaches never exhibit any sort of luminescence.

    Roaches - Feeders, Pets, etc.

    I have nymphs available in Madagascar Hissing Roaches as well as Dubai Roaches. For first time pet roach owners I'd recommend the Madagascar Roaches. Hissers require a tank with a lid (you can coat the top 2-3' with vaseline or teflon tape) as they can climb smooth surfaces. Dubai are much...

    Roaches - Feeders, Pets, etc.

    Once again taking orders on various cockroach species. Current stock includes: Blaptica dubia (Dubai Roach) - Great feeder insects. They are generally higher in protein than most common feeder insects and provide great nutrition for your pet reptiles or fowl. Less odor than crickets and...

    Virginia

    Southwest Virginia Looking for LF Salmon Faverolles, Naked Neck, Barred Rock, Black Ameraucana, Buff Brahma. Prefer marek's vaccinated birds. Looking for small quantities, only a couple birds of each and could live with a single Naked Neck and Brahma. Maybe an Easter Egger if it's an...

    Barn Conversion

    Starting this soon and only expect it to take a few days. Question on ventilation. If I basically box a stall in, I'll have 2 sides that reach to the roof (outside walls). If I box in the front and other side, how much ventillation would you recommend? Barn is probably 14 feet high at a...

    Cuckoo Marans - Gender

    Just looking for input on the gender of my (Meyer) Marans. Ordered as a pullet but it's turned into a pretty large bird. Photos aren't the best (via cell phone) and I can grab some more later with my camera. Shown in these photos beside a Meyer Meal Maker (RIR?), Faverolles roosters, and my...

    farmer markets and inspections

    The Georgia Egg Law governs the production and sale of eggs. The egg processing facility must be licensed by GDA unless selling restricted eggs. Most eggs sold at Farmers’ Markets will be considered “restricted eggs.” That simply means that the eggs are being sold from the producer’s own...

    Barn Conversion

    I have a 3-sided barn that is 12x36 that I'm considering converting to a chicken coop (partially at least). The barn is only 8 years old, used for horses originally but have gotten out of the horse business since. The basic though is to enclose one of the 12x12 stalls into a coop. The barn...

    HUMANURE COMPOSTING

    About to complete my first year of humanure composting and am glad I made the change from flush toilets. Actually going a bit further in that direction as I prepare to move into my new house/cabin. Went with a small house (~300sqf) and putting a compost toilet in there as well as constructing...

    Meyer Mystery?!?

    These photos make her look a little lighter than she really is. Breed thoughts? She was a free chick by way of the Meyer Meal Maker. Relatively dark red. She has some black(ish) feathers in her tail. Also relatively small/thin compared to other chicks bought at the same time (Marans, Rock...

    Meyer Chicks - Gender?

    White Plymouth Rock - hatched 9/9/13. Hen or Roo? Salmon Faverolle Cockerel - hatched 9/9/13. Just included him since there had been a few on BYC who were curious about Meyer Faverolles. Buff Polish - hatched 9/9/13. Ordered a pullet, but wouldn't even know how to begin sexing these...

    Virginia

    Any pure ameraucana breeders in southwest Virginia? Also potential interest in quality rocks and/or naked necks.

    Meyer Chicks - Gender?

    Mixed batch of chicks from Meyer hatched on September 9th. Order was only suppose to have 1 rooster (faverolles), but I suspect my Cuckoo Marans and White Rock may be male also. Thoughts?

    Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches

    I don't know that I'll ever breed in bulk again. I may have breeding specimens of various roaches but realistically I won't be able to beat your local pet store prices as I'll likely focus on more unique breeds of hissing roaches rather than bulk quantities. If you have an immediate need of...

    Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches

    No longer raising these so have none to sell. Mealworm farming is easier and just as productive and my compost pile produces a healthy supply of black soldier flies; so the benefit of a virtually no maintenance production of treats has the hissing roaches put to the side. I still have...
