Beautiful birds. Can I just get the buff eggs?

I would vote for the D'Uccles!

I wanted to do this when I was first researching building my chicken coops. There are a lot of folks here who have converted their stalls into coops. Lots of good pictures too. Try this search...

Hopefully the humidity will dissipate on its own. Let us know what the manufacturer says. I just purchased the "old" 1588 in December and now I wish I had waited for this new one. I still need another one anyway so I can have a hatcher, so I'm thinking I will get the new one too! I didn't know...

Definitely ebay.

yes. For $10 would you give me ALL of the Christmas gifts you received this year?

10 (I love Polish!!)
