    Easter egger pullets?

    Sorry, not Ameracaunas; the crest indicates probable Welsummer mixes.

    American Bresse eggs!!!

    If you've got a broody hen or an incubator, I'd be happy to give you 12 or 18 eggs. I'm not flush with birds enough to sell chicks and the two people I got mine from are gone.

    American Bresse eggs!!!

    Usually when production slows. I crockpot them for for shredded chicken, sometimes soup. In the case of my aged out leghorn, I pluck, remove crop, bile gland and intestines, then chop them up as raw food for my dog.

    American Bresse eggs!!!

    I'm very hands off with our chickens. The yellow legged birds are the offspring of my Bresse roosters breeding with my RIR hens. They make delicious carcasses.

    American Bresse eggs!!!

    My Bresse roosters are excellent boys, solicitous and attentive to the hens, aloof around people and protective against intruders. I've culled all the yellow legged birds when they reach 4-5 months old for conformity to the breed and I continue to hatch further generations from pure Bresse...

    Quarantine him if you want the earring back, otherwise just carry on. It will go right through.

    The Gun Thread

    Are you underage, in a prohibited state or are you fighting to have your rights restored? I love .22 guns of all types too.

    Should I try and kill this bobcat?

    I guess when one is denied the quick, easy and effective solutions, one has to work out other options. Also consider that many states in the USA have more acreage of just wildlands than all of Europe's landmass in total and a larger and more varied predator load.

    Frustrated about the availability of chicks

    One of my best layers is a mixie; the result of an Ameracauna rooster over a Rhode Island Red hen. She's dark gray fading to a nearly mahogany head and she lays beautiful mossy eggs.

    Frustrated about the availability of chicks

    Bomgaars and Atwoods here in the Waco area have had decent selections. I haven't been into a TSC this year.

    Need a Nurture Right 360 dome- anyone have one?

    It's got an opening on the other side; it holds temperature well enough but I hate the way it looks.

    Need a Nurture Right 360 dome- anyone have one?

    The element and controller are mounted to the dome with a handful of machine bolts; easy enough to transfer the element, fan and controller to a new dome. I don't know anyone who does 3D printing and I dont think the industry has gotten to the point where they have a filament that results in a...

    Need a Nurture Right 360 dome- anyone have one?

    I had my NR360 in storage and the dome ended up getting cracked. While searching for a suitable glue to repair it, the piece went missing. So, I'm looking for a replacement dome and no one seems to have one online, not even Incubator Warrhouse; they usually have everything. Anyone have a...
