    Can you help identify please?

    Australorp was my first assumption but I didn't think they were supposed to have feathered legs. Some of these have a few feathers coming in on the side of their legs. I am confused.

    Can you help identify please?

    This is the rooster. The big black one in the middle. And this is the hen. I bought these recently, it was a whole flock buyout and I know there are several breeds who are black in color but the only one black chickens I have owned are black sex links. I plan to resell these and would like...

    Dry air incubator humidity and egg cartons?!

    I too use those paper egg cartons to hold eggs in the incubator. I tore the flat bottom out of each egg cell in mine to allow the heated air to circulate around them. If you are not already, put your eggs in them pointy side down and fat or air cell end up. To add the fans you can use a...

    Dry air incubator humidity and egg cartons?!

    If you are using a forced air incubator, your temperature needs to run 99.5 degrees. If this is the case you are cooking your eggs at 102. I use a home made incubator I made out of a side by side fridge and I add just very little water until day 18. Starting at day 18 I boost the humidity up...

    Mounting Stand for soda bottle waterer.

    I think I have about 25 of them coming and I spent less than $10 for shipping and all. At first, I was afraid of the quality but decided to take a chance on a few to test them out. I hope they do well as I believe they will prevent my ducks from wasting a LOT of feed. Happy hens and GOD...

    Mounting Stand for soda bottle waterer.

    Search for these on ebay..... If you don't mind waiting on them to come from China, I just bought a lot of 5 of these on eBay and paid less than fifty cents a piece with free shipping. I can't vouch for the quality, though, because I haven't received mine yet but if there is any problem with...

    Will noise or vibration effect hatching?

    At first candling I had 4 eggs which were not fertile and two that had died early. At second candling I lost one more so it was 29 eggs left to go into lockdown. 23 eggs out of the 29 hatched and that figures out to near 80% hatch rate. I am very pleased with the performance and outcome of...

    Tylan OR Pennicilin????

    I am not saying it is, but you should google eye worms and see if the symptoms match. If they do, you can put 2-3 drops of Ivermectin in the eye and it should clear up.
