    Looking for Runner ducklings in WI.

    Hello:D We want to purchase just 4 or 5 Runner ducklings & I am having a terrible time trying to find anyone that will sell us just a few. All the big hatcheries won't sell less than 15 or 25, way to many for our small piece of property & $$$, I even asked TSC if they would just add 5...

    Nite Guard Solar Lights, have any of you used them, did it work well

    Quote: No matter what anyone thinks the snakes will eat your eggs & possibly the small chicks. If you can the small wire, hardware cloth, will work & be humane for the snakes. But you will have to cover the top, sides & if you don't cover the bottom make sure their isn't any little opening...

    Nite Guard Solar Lights, have any of you used them, did it work well

    Quote: I would attach hardware cloth or some wire thats less than 1/2" x 1/2" to all sides, top & bottom, if the bottom is exposed. The wire should be small enough to keep the snakes out. I know a few pigeon breeders that had to do this to keep snakes out of their lofts. Hope this helps.

    Nite Guard Solar Lights, have any of you used them, did it work well

    I plan on purchasing the Nite Guard lights also. I also have worked with many snakes, breeding & working with others who breed them, and I doubt if the lights would work on snakes since they hunt by sensing the animals body heat. plus in order to see the red light, the Night Guard would have...

    Wondering what went wrong

    Quote: The information that I was reading about how to incubate Serama eggs said that 102 degrees or higher would kill the embryo's, so I didn't want it to get up to 100. But you could be right that 100 degrees is'nt too hot.

    Wondering what went wrong

    Hello all, I was incubating 18 Serama eggs in a Hova bator incubator with egg turner & fan, the temps. were kept at 98 degrees, the humidity was kept at between 40% & 50%. Serama eggs hatch at about 21 days. At day 17 I removed the egg turner in preperation in for the eggs to hatch. On the 22...
