    I am an idiot, can it be fixed?

    Thanks, I will do better... (really, just too many irons in the fire this winter, getting spread a little thin, lol) I was also figuring on both, the dual bulbs and electronic, just have to find the bits and get it done. As for the sterilizing, yea, that too. I had wiped it down with bleach...

    I am an idiot, can it be fixed?

    Lots of great info, thank you for the detailed reply. I am a tad bit more hopeful than before. I had used some dry hay to nestle the eggs in the trays, since they were so large for the eggs, thinking I was making it like a nest. I do have plenty of cartons I can use to set them in. So, I plan...

    I am an idiot, can it be fixed?

    Yes, some time ago I researched incubating, and suddenly found a cabinet incubator for a good price, and rushed to get it, and set it up with a water tray, and thermometer, and humidity monitor. I had saved some chicken eggs (mutts) for a few days, and had 23 of them, and 8 Bourbon Red Turkey...

    Looking for Heritage Poults in Tx

    Arielle - just got back from reading... and reading... lol, TONS of great info. I think I have gotten about 39 pages into it. Celie - I am interested as a result in the White Hollands... and I have come to the same conclusion about raising the BB turkeys for this year, and getting heritage...

    Looking for Heritage Poults in Tx

    Shiner is about 50 miles south of Austin. I need them to raise for processing at the end of October or so, as part of our CSA meat shares. I have Red Wattle hogs which will be ready for the meat shares in August, and am busy in the 'market garden' for the produce shares, but really need the...

    Looking for Heritage Poults in Tx

    I am in Shiner Texas, and would like to find around 8-10 preferably Bourbon Red turkey poults. I might be swayed by other breed options, if they are not broad breasted. I would like them to be a larger breed, but something that can breed naturally, and speand lots of quality time outside on...

    Hampshire or Rhode Island Red? or?

    Well, I'm very positive that is her egg, I have gotten 1 or 2 each day, and she is always the one on the nest. And there is a chance she is not a purebred at all, so maybe that is why she doesn't quite fit the norms? (I don't know the difference between the ear lobe and the ear cover myself, I'm...

    Hampshire or Rhode Island Red? or?

    Well, I got out the trusty Google and looked for images of Wellies, when I came across a very good likeness of my bird called a Welsummer/Barnvelder cross. Where did Google find that photo?... Right here on BYC. What do you think? I really don't have a good chicken eye, so dont know what to look...

    Hampshire or Rhode Island Red? or?

    This is one of her eggs, she very reliably has one waiting every morning even now. Sometimes another in the afternoon, usually not. I should also say I can't be certain she is not some mix.

    Hampshire or Rhode Island Red? or?

    I traded a Red Wattle Piglet for some chickens and a rooster, the person was not sure what kind this was, but said she thought it might be a Hampshire or (I think she said maybe) Rhode Island Red. It really only matters because she lays very large (jumbo sized) eggs, and I might want to get a...
