    Upgrading incubator thermostat

    I have a Marsh Farms turn x incubator that is 33 yrs old. I bought it new when I was a kid, hatched a bunch of eggs with it and put it away in storage when I got older with other interests/responsibilities where it stayed for decades. Last Spring we brought it out of moth balls and I cleaned it...

    My rooster killed a hawk!

    I only wish my EE roosters fought back like that. They were hiding when a redtail got in my run and killed a EE hen! Then when a Coopers attacked a bantam in the yard they did not take it on, were by some shrubs fussing.. Perhaps they are still too young at 8 months or are they wimps? I see you...

    HAWK Attack! I'm SOOO distraught. *UPDATE #2 re: Survivor* see post#1

    Sorry for your losses. I also lost a couple to hawk attacks and it changes your outlook on everything. I am now reluctant to let them free range unless I`m out there. My 2 large roosters did nothing to defend the flock or deter the hawks. I`m happy to hear some of your strays came home.

    Too Many Roosters .... ugh!

    7 or 8 out of nine, what a bummer. Don`t try gambling or the lottery any time soon!

    Brown, green or white?

    Quote: Pardon my ignorance, but what breed lays those beautiful red eggs? I currently have green/pink eggs from 3 Ameraucanas, white from 4 bantams and brown from 4 production hens. I may add a few of those red egg layers to the flock next spring. French Marans. (And not Cuckoo Marans) Your...

    Hi Virginians. Snowin` hard here on the Eastern Shore too. This is my flock`s first real taste of snow. They all seem to be handling the cold well. Probably better then I am!
