    American Bresse chicks

    Yes I will! I’m working on building new pens now and will be separating out the best breeders by March. I will begin hatching in April if not sooner. Feed costs have increased a bit so prices may vary from last year.

    Sorry for the really really late reply! Yes, I am hoping to get some time this winter to do some updates and finally build the trap nest reversible roll out nest boxes. The coop is split in half down the middle with a flock of Black Australorps on one side and a flock of American White Bresse on...

    HELP!!! Chick has been in the same position for 10 hours

    I had a similar situation with quail recently. Here’s what I did. I used a Qtip with a little mineral oil to moisten the membrane. I had used coconut oil previously on assisting a chick and the other chicks kept pecking at the coconut oil areas on his body. Mineral oil isn’t actually greasy so...

    We are building a coop.... Looking for smart investments, and helpful additions.

    What a fantastic project! I like that flooring, I never knew you could get it 12’ wide and cut to length, that’s great. Since you’re up in a colder climate ventilation is just as important a factor as protection from weather. May I suggest you and your dad look at the Woods style coops? It’s...

    Harris Farms Nurture Right 360 Incubator is AMAZING!

    Absolutely! Theres even a gal on Etsy that sells a 3D printed quail tray . It comes in 3 pieces with instructions and clips to hold while glue dries. I didn’t glue, just used the clips.

So. I have babies hatching...

    Official BYC Poll: What Kind of Roost(s) Do You Have Installed?

    I use 2x2’s wrapped tightly with bicycle inner tubes. I found this study and the accompanying link about this years ago and designed it into my system from the start. I just didn’t need it until now, so it’s only been up since Monday. It also took me several years of occasional searching and...

    Keeping membrane from drying?

    I’ve read that a Saline solution like eye drops has been recommended a couple times, I’m sorry I don’t have any links but you could google it.
