    Looking for hatching eggs of any breed in Western Mass

    I'm looking to purchase hatching eggs from farms in Western Mass. The breed doesn't matter to me and I need them fairly often for a research project so it would seem silly to order them online every time and pay shipping costs. Does anyone have any they would be willing to sell? I do need them...

    OvaScope Egg Candler Light with Webcam / taking pictures of egg candling??

    Has anyone used the OvaScope Egg Candler Light from brinsea with a webcam? In the product description on the website, it says that it can be fitted with a webcam to take video or pictures I presume. Has anyone actually done this and if so what kind of results did you get? Alternatively (and...

    Incubators with controllable humidity (integrated) or Pumps that work with Nurture Right 360

    Hi All! I'm looking for either an incubator that has humidity control integrated into the system already or humidity pumps that would work with the nurture right 360. Has anyone used a pump with the nurture right? Like either of these...

    Do you have a ratting terrier on your farm (especially in Northeastern US)?

    So that's another vote for rat terriers! It's good to know that they leave chickens alone.

    That's good to know! Something a bit more mellow that a Jack Russel might be good because they are a lot! I don't think we would have enough rats to keep one busy all the time and I don't want them to get bored.

    Yes I imagine they probably all still have the instinct. I think I will still try to find a working line breeder but it is good to know that it doesn't necessarily have to be a working line because they are very hard to find, especially in New England

    Ah okay! Basenjis are fun too! I thought about adopting one a few years ago but I ended up with a hound instead!

    That's good to hear that she didn't bother the birds. I would imagine that most dogs (with a few exceptions of course) can be trained to stay away from birds if they are socialized to birds at a young age. My old hound loves to chase chickens, but the foxhound I work with grew up on a farm with...

    Yes, a Cairn Terrier is another one I've been thinking about. Do you know if she was from a working line or a companion breeder?

    I am happy to hear more about the JRTs! If I do end up getting one, it will be helpful to know more about them. I don't have a ton of experience with them (or small dogs of any kind) as I mostly work with hunting hounds. But I did have a friend who had a pet JRT who got into everything.

    Thank you! So that is one vote for JRTs so far, lol. I just looked up a JRT few breeders on the parent club website and a few listed working JRTs on their website so that may work. Thanks again!

    Do you have a ratting terrier on your farm (especially in Northeastern US)?

    Hello! I am having a serious rat and mouse problem on my farm and therefore I am considering getting a terrier to help with the rat problem. I have tried other methods of rat removal (cats, poison, plaster of paris, glue traps, electric traps, traps, digging up their nests where I find them...
