    The Aloha Chicken Project

    Hello aloha! Don't know if you remember me, but you shipped me some chicks 6 or 7 years ago. I'd like to get some fresh stock if I can. I currently have an epidemic of egg eating, so most of my flock is going to have to go. edited to add, I am happy to trade fertile eggs, but typically my...

    Aloha Chicks - 25+ LIVE CHICKS -Will Ship Anywhere!

    Just a quick heads up to anyone considering this. I have worked with her and she is a FABULOUS shipper! I paid for 25 chicks and got more than 30. All alive, healthy and in great shape. She does a superb job of keeping you in the loop in regards to shipping dates and the like. I would...

    The nice thing with he Reptibator is the temps can go as low (I believe) 70 degrees (farenheit of course) and as high as 104. It is digital and allows me to set humidity as well. It is very deep perhaps 2 feet deep? Which means I have to build it up at the bottom so the eggs will get warm...

    The Aloha Chicken Project

    I set 3 dozen eggs. Not sure what in the world went so horribly wrong but only 5 came close to hatching or did in fact hatch. 2 pipped and died, one hatched fine and died, the 2 survivors are males. I think I'll have to get another shallower base for my Reptibator lid. It's digital and has...

    I am so disappointed, the only 2 chicks that survived are both males, and neither are particularly good examples. All that work and both will have to be culled. :(

    I have to agree, that is one yummy tail on him! I have two that I hatched (my hatch rates are really dismal) one of which is a roo, at about 8 weeks he has a bright red comb already. :( He also has blue/grey legs with feathered feet I have one large looking possible hen that is 3 weeks...

    The Aloha Chicken Project

    I got one Aloha chick out of 6 I set... One made it to the point of creating a breathing hole out of the egg and then died before hatching. This one looks like a chipmunk, with black and brown stripes on a yellow body. Grey legs tho. Her(crosses fingers!) adopted Mum is doing a fabulous job...

    Please do count me in as well! I would love to swap roos and hens... I have a dozen eggs in the 'bator and next Friday I'll add another 6 for an even 18. I'm really hoping that they will hatch... I haven't real good luck with hatching. So far none of my hens have displayed the slightest...

    I thought it was super kind of them too. The other neighbor, who just bought the house next door, offered me some of their eggs the other day. I was hoping she would consider taking any culls off of my hands, that was a fail for both of us!

    Just checking in real quick here, my neighbor started complaining about the racket the roos were making (they were 13 of them!) so I culled 7 of them and hopefully that will be enough. I have kept the best 4 Aloha roos and have sequestered them with the ladies. In another week or so I'll be...

    Just curious who else is living super frugal

    Trust me, No one will notice! I have a great recipe for venison that uses orange juice, that will cause cubed venison to disappear! Brown enough venison for the number of people you plan to feed, if male plan on a pound per. Allow the juices in the pan to caramelize with the meat still in the...
