    Cataract or something else? (PIC)

    I dont know much about this hen. She came out of a hoarding situation. The first thing I noticed about this one is that she is almost always hidden. Her behavior/movements made me think she was old. Today I was able to get my hands back on her and take a closer look. The eye is open, the inner...

    Does anyone (offhand) know of a company or individual that rents chicken pluckers? Ive got 40 birds that will need to be done in about 3 weeks. Im half way between Phoenix and Tucson so either direction works for me.

    Is there an App for this website? That would probably make things so much easier.

    Id be in heaven with a green house like that. I would be able to keep the rabbits and gophers out.

    I agree, dogs kill just to kill. I've had some pretty wicked massacres out here. Dogs don't care if its livestock or a house pet (or your child for that matter) while they are killing everything. One of the worst ones I've had took out all of my turkey, most of my chickens and even my house cat...

    I think 10 days is about it. I believe cooler temps help to preserve the eggs viability overall. I have noticed a difference in hatch rate between counter top stored eggs and cooled eggs.

    Id have to do some serious modifications to an egg turner to get it to fit in there. Its a small fridge. Its designed to hold 3 bottles (I think). So I just trimmed down an egg carton and have a wooden block that I rotate around under each side and each end thru the day. I am really hoping my...

    A rampant case of mites can cause this (and even death).

    I use a "Red Wine Fridge". It doesn't get as cold as a standard household fridge. I remember checking the temp when I got it and thinking "this is perfect for eggs!" But I could not tell you now what that temp was, but works well for me. I *think* Red wine is supposed to be stored at 65* but I'm...
