    Water heater thermostat HELP

    I know some ppl have issues with the water heater thermostats but I dont mind giving it a try just because its convenient. My issue is that I bought one at lowes today and it looks identical to all the ones I see being used online...black box, metal back, white and red face with white dial, and...

    Temporary Roosters???

    The more I read and think about it, I dont think I want to take the chance bringing in other birds to my flock. I think your right about the quarantine...the time and stress it would take is just not worth it. I think I'll just end up raising my own roosters from chicks to ensure they are not...

    Temporary Roosters???

    I've been raising chickens for almost a year now. What started as a small hobby has grown rapidly. I started with six laying hens I bought locally. Now I have another fourteen hens I purchased from Meyer hatchery, and ten red broilers I purchased from Ideal. I am now working on building a...

    Meyer Hatchery "All Pullet Rainbow Pack"

    I've never ordered the rainbow asst. but six weeks ago I ordered the brown egg layer asst. of 15 chicks and was very pleased. Came in overnight, all alive, happy and healthy. Selection was great also, five different types of chicks out of fifteen. I would order there again for sure.

    Stubborn chicks?

    Tonight would actually be great weather for them to be outside. The area they are in is closed in on three sides and is probably comfortable for them. I dont think the coop is too hot b/c its large enough that half of it is at ambient temp. which is about 65 now. So I think I will try like you...

    Stubborn chicks?

    I have a mix of brown egg laying hens that are six weeks old (14 of them). I raised them from day old chicks. Four weeks in the house in a brooder, then the past two weeks they have been in their 3x5 outside coop. It is completely enclosed and has a heat lamp in it. Two days ago I opened...

I think the one in the back is the EE...has gray feet and beek...No clue about the one...
