    Kleiner is a Model

    I’ve never had a bantam, I’m totally loving this breed! I’m getting him some nice hens as soon as I can source a high quality show bloodline. He’s gonna be stoked! Kleiner is just a hatchery bird so I’ll need to get some stellar genetics in the hens.

    Hatching goslings, Kangaroo-Care, for when you need every chick to survive due to rare-breed, or difficult to hatch breeds and crosses.

    I have a dog that hears the chicks in the incubator before the pip externally and he lets me know, he’ll even wake me up! The down isn’t like hair, too soft to poke into the skin so no itches 🤷‍♂️

    Solved Why is this site so broken if we have sponsors?

    I have no idea what any of that means! Not everyone is internet savvy. Especially maybe folks more oriented towards outdoors and farming and animals. For many this problem seems trivial, but for folks like me it meant I avoided using this site actively for years, despite knowing it was the...

    Correct. Its my argument that the owner should be diligent to make the site as accessible to everyone as they possibly can, because this is vital information for people here, and can save bird lives and improve husbandry etc.

    White African x Embdener

    Here is an update for the folks watching this thread- the two first f1’s are now at day16 and growing like weeds. Tub photo for scale. I have 5 out, another one out by Thursday, should end up with 15-20 of these crosses by the time Winter sets in and they stop until Spring.

    Without “jerks” like me willing to speak against the status-quo, this world would be a very, very intellectualy-challenged place 😉

    Hatching goslings, Kangaroo-Care, for when you need every chick to survive due to rare-breed, or difficult to hatch breeds and crosses.

    Skin to skin, aka "kangaroo care" in human pediatrics, helps these goslings dry off and feel strong emotionally when you are not batch-setting and goslings come out without hatchmates. You do the first exposure as soon as they are dry but the down-film hasn't flaked off, once the navel shrinks...
