    Went from getting three eggs a day down to zero from 12 girls . I really do not want to add any extra lighting so I guess they will be freeloaders until Spring. But they are worth it in the long run. And by Spring my Muscovy trio should be ready to earn their keep too.

    For those with rat problems have you tried a rat satire ? Supposedly it works better if it is an original composition. For those who are not familiar with this it comes from the show Outlander.

    Been trying to catch up with all the posts. Guess that will teach me to be away from this forum for more than a few days. Anyway is anyone interested in some Buckeye pullets? They are about 25 weeks old. I have three available. I also have a trio of Icelandics plus an extra roo looking for a...

    How did I end up with four brooders going at the same time? I have five Khaki Campbells in the big brooder. They are ready to go outside but will have to wait for a couple weeks until I finish with the coop revamp. Then I have five Buckeye pullets who are about a month old in another brooder...

    You picked the right place for friendly people with lots of chicken knowledge. My advice is get a coop that is at least two or three times the size of what you think you need.

    Good luck with the hatch. Icelandics are still the breed I would live to have.

    I was thinking at least six or so. More would be nice but I don't want to be greedy. They would be the only eggs in the incubator so there would be plenty of room.

    Very proud of myself. Went to two different TSC over the weekend and all I ended up with was some goat mineral. Not that either one had a great chick selection. Bantams, Isa Brown, RIR, something else and some Pekin ducklings were what they had. And very few of each.

    I don't think so. If so it has been a few years since I haven't had an SUV for over three years. Currently I have a Sierra and a bright green Chevy Spark. The truck is great for the farm stuff and the car is great for commuting. Even with cheap gas prices I love the 40 mpg I get with the car.
