I’ve made the tragic move of misplacing my power cord. Would anyone have a cord they want to sell? Im in Ontario

Thanks, I think they have become the Peavy store and I didn’t see them there. But I will look again!

It sounds like the Harris Nature Right 360 incubator is most recommended. Unfortunately it is very pricey in Canada. Does anyone have advice on how I can get one for less than $300!

My 5 chickens, Wyandottes and Americaunas and a bantam Brahma, all stopped laying early this September. The Americaunas and one silver laces laid the latest - but now have stopped too. Only one has last feathers and is likely moulting but not the others. Unless they have a stash somewhere I...

Yes. It was a rough start, but they all survived. Five are now thriving - 4 Wyandottes and a Brahma. One Wyandottes turned out to be a Roo, which in the end was a good thing. He takes great care of the girls. They have laid eggs all winter and are beautiful. One of the chickens had a beak...

👍😍

I’d like this door for the convenience of it! Especially now that the cold temps are upon us!

Thanks everyone... I have a few more layers each week (3 now) and they are all laying under the nesting box (haha). I may try putting a board there and replacing the golf balls with real blown eggs.

So, my girls are taking their time with the egg laying and nesting routine. My Silver laced Wyandotte has been laying for a few weeks - but directly under our nesting boxes. I’m wondering if we should close that area off? I caught my Brahma laying a tiny egg a week ago, and have seen a few here...

I honestly know very little but thought I’d chime in as the chicks are too cute. I have a Brahma and they have feathered feet if that helps. Awesome breed - so gentle and goofy.... and huge.

Thanks! I am going to enlist my son to help me catch and check their pelvic bones. So interesting! My one concern with cooping them up is the rooster. He’s quite the personality and I’m worried he will drive the girls crazy locked up. Can I let him out alone and keep them inside?

So I’m finding eggs all over the place now that at least one of my chickens has started laying (how I’ll ever figure out who it is is beyond me...). I’ve got four nice nesting boxes, and they have golf balls... will the chickens just figure out that they’re the place to lay eventually? Do I move...

Found our first egg under the picnic table this afternoon. So fun.

Yup - mine are around 25 weeks and no eggs yet. I have Dottes too (As well as Delaware and Brahmas).

So fun!
