Sometimes! I am at that age where sleep comes when it wants too. Today I babysat for the grandkids, and this is the only time I have sometimes. But yes I do sleep. My 18 year old daughter passed away in August and ever since then, I have had a terrible time sleeping or staying asleep. What...
I have about 30-35 eggs in the bator. Some are silikies and some are leghorns. We lost our lights during the strorm. Therefore, my dilema is; the eggs were in the bator with no heat for about 14 hours. They are about 3 or 4 days old. After the power came back on I rinsed out the bator, warmed it...
Great!!! Oh one thing I forgot to tell you with the toaster oven. Leave the door "cracked" for ventilation at all times. Also, keep it out of direct drafts or it will alter your temprature. I'll be waiting to hear how many chickies you get. Also, if you can't find a rooster, I ship fertilized...
I've had more luck with the toaster oven then I do the incubator. I have a hova bator and have had a lot of trouble with the hatches, losing most of the chicks. I didn't lose but one with the oven method. Ok....about the cloth. If you fold the cloth and keep your temperature at 100 degrees, it...
I sure know how you feel. Last year we had a coon parade around here. We kept missing chickens and missing chickens. All my favorite ones went by by. Then one night my husband heard the chickens going crazy. He went out to the back and caught a giant raccoon breaking into the pen. This raccoon...
Hey Everybody
I decided to start selling my eggs as I have hatched a lot of them and have about 50 in the hova bator. I have White Leghorns x Barred Rock (roo is barred rock), Americana x with RIR, will have purebred silkies later on. I have two auctions going on ebay now (spiritualmystic631)...
And....since we are now looking for pictures of chicken shows, can someone tell me where they have chicken shows around Waycross or Brunswick etc., Thanks!
My son who is only 33 years old now, told me a long time ago to start a garden, etc., he said he seen it coming. I think it is arriving. I thought he didnt know what he was talking about. He is a truck driver. Hmmm....look at our gas prices, our eggs are $2.60 a dozen here in Folkston, Georgia...
I did not order this year, because I had too many losses last year. What I lost was;
Black Crevecours (mostly)
Buff Orphingtons
I now hatch my own leghorns and leghorn x barred rock. Anything else I order off ebay, or on this board, or eggbid.
