U_Stormcrow thank you for your input! I'm in eastern ND but the Swap itself is in Valley City (fairly big town for out here) THings out here are starting to pick up again so hopefully they will in your area as well!

Thank you for the input! I did actually just get certified to be a NPIP testing agent however my testing serum won't be here in time for me to get everyone tested and have them come out to do the AI swabs. So for this swap I'm still just a regular farm. lol. My biggest problem is that I want to...

Hi, We have a local swap coming up and I'm debating on check prices for the ones I sell. Usually of the farm I sell my silkies for $10 each and my Salmon Favorelles for $10 each. Some of them will be 10days old and others will be closer to 3 days old. Just wondering if the younger ones should be...

ok! thank you

did you ever get this figured out? I just bought an older one as well and looking at your pictures and mine it looks like you are missing a couple of the turning arms.

Thank you. :) I do actually in both of them. a lot of people in my area had issues, even my broody silkie hen had hatching issues. I did actually watch these videos before purchasing 2 years ago. the first year I had 75 -90% hatch rates on shipped guinea and chicken eggs. (10 batches) so I was...

Here he is. Pretty but nasty.

not at all. I have 8 pretty effective barn cats. I do live on 30 acres and with the wet summer I do have a large lake in the back pasture now. I know a gal about 5 miles away had trouble with mink last year. they are surrounded by water. I ended up using my dead guineas as bait in live traps...

could you do a link to the youtube video please? I also have an incuview and a hovabator 1588. I had great hatch rates at the beginning of the spring but as the summer went on it got worse in both. I'm guessing the rain, humidity and air pressure had a lot to o with that. as well as young hens.

Hi Tuhmu, I'm also in ND and currently having trouble with a mink. although it left my silkies alone (they free range the barn) it took out 90% of my guineas (all roosters) 9 of them in one night. I currently set up 3 live traps using them as bait. any other suggestions?

@R2elk So far all I've been able to get in my area is reg medicated chick starter. Thoughts on this feed? Its a new one that my local elevator has available for ordering. https://www.paybacknutrition.com/products/product/pheasant-starter-a-medicated I bought some of the layer feed for my...

sorry for your loss :(

just a thought as I'm also gone for 12 hours a day incubator warehouse sells a humidikit that has made my like 100% easier! it handles the humidity for you so you don't have to worry about it daily. I check it in the am and again at night when I get home. On starter feed for my guineas I feed...
