    Cheapest option for duck run?

    With my chickens I use a couple of 10'x10'x6' chain link dog runs. I have used these for 3-4 years with no problems. I will be buying a couple more to put together breeding pens for my more "upscale" chickens this spring. While it may not be super budget friendly, I find the ability to easily...

    Lone guinea survivor...

    Thanks Pattyhen... I ended up re-homing her to a lady who has a flock of Guineas... it was bittersweet to say the least.

    Lone guinea survivor...

    I had some coyotes come on my property between 10:30 am and noon and killed all but one of my guineas.. Will the lone survivor be okay(long term) with chickens or do I need to find a home with other guineas? I just want to do what is best for her. TIA

    July 4th hatch-a-long

    I ended up with 11 baby chicks out of 18 eggs... not sure why the hatch rate sucked so bad as they were local pickup(1 non fertile, 2 quit about 10 days and two died after lockdown); but I am happy with the 11 very active babies. Good luck to those who still have eggs yet to hatch.

    July 4th hatch-a-long

    I have one chick in its air cell so I have officially gone into lockdown about an hour ago. Thirteen of the eighteen original eggs have made it this far.

    jnr005 sorry your eggs aren't doing well and I hope the rest make it and hatch for you. I am in a similar boat as you.

    July 4th hatch-a-long

    I am down to thirteen of the eighteen originally set. One never developed, two developed blood rings around day 8, and the last two I lost sometime this week.. I am planning on doing an eggtopsy on the two in the morning. I was really hoping for better results as these eggs were picked up...

    Beware of what hatching eggs you buy on facebook

    Never EVER send payment on PayPal using friends and family... if you do and something goes wrong, you are out of luck.. I have been burnt one to many times on ebay and will only buy chicks from a hatchery or from someone on here.

    USPS did not call for eggs. 92 degrees outside too hot??

    Only thing you can do at this point is to put them in your incubator and wait three or four days and then candle them to check for development.

    Egg color by generation?

    If a hen lays a certain color egg will her female offspring lay the same color egg; or different color? I am asking because I bought some Easter Egger eggs and one color of egg that I really like are not developing.. so I was wondering if the other eggs may produce this color egg? TIA

    Fan direction in a forced air incubator....

    Which way should the fan go.. blowing up or down? I just read where its not a good idea for the fan to be blowing air on the eggs? Is this right or personal preference? This is my first time using a non home made incubator so just curious. TIA
