    Issues with PVC pipe injuring flock

    I think mine were for the 4" pipes. I had that issue with a barred rock rooster. Determined it was minor frost bite on two points of its comb. Switched back to old hanging feeder for a couple of weeks until it looked like he healed. Didn't have any more issues.

    Is BYC Experiencing Cabin Fever?

    I don't think mine is necessarily cabin fever. More of situational stresses. It seems my peak times of aggravation are usually caused by interactions with certain people. The more aggravated I get the more I tend to see things that get me even more riled. None of it's new stuff. Same old...

    Raising baby chicks outside with no heat in 35 degree weather

    I brooded 16 batches of various heritage breeds over the coarse of 3 months using a scaled version of the insulated hover. Half were in only the insulated hover and the other half were in a modified insulated box. Neither had electricity. Main housing was 4x6 open front pens in a 14x20 long...

    Who Laid This Egg?

    Fertility Rate for Pullets?

    @BarnGems hope this makes sense regarding the laying years. Basically the calendar starts from the first egg (regardless of age). So say a pullet is hatched March 1 and lays her first egg in July her first year of laying would be from July to July. As far as the term "pullet egg" mostly is...

    Is BYC Experiencing Cabin Fever?

    Ah another one I'm hesitant to watch is the remake of Watership Down. Loved the book and original movie. And another trip down memory lane. Anyone remember the Ralph Bakshi Lotr?

    Holding Eggs Before Incubation, and ???

    No suggestions on anything remotely close to that price range. Also mentioning that if you have large to extra large size eggs you may only get 6 to fit in the turning tray and it still function properly. You can fit more if you remove the tray and manually turn the eggs but again if they are...

    Holding Eggs Before Incubation, and ???

    Another thing I would advise before you plug it in is to check and make sure it closes properly and there aren't any cracks. My friend's had a chip on the lip and a slight warp causing it to not to shut properly. The base had a thin crack along the edge and would leak water. Once you plug it...

    Fertility Rate for Pullets?

    I am guessing the first two eggs were a delicious meal for someone. I keep hoping one of the girls goes broody whenever I see a bullseye :lol:
