    growing avacado

    In the past 11 months sense I posted above mine has continued to grow slowly with nothing but tap water and the little bit of morning sun it gets through the window. The last 3 or 4 months I've slowly added a little Pro-Mix BX and it's mostly growing in damp soil now. This summer I'll try...

    Best brooder in my opinion

    The DACB is too slick even with the rough side up for quail (and ducks/turkey/chickens/etc...) and will cause splayed leg. Line the wire with paper towels for the first 5 days with quail. Use the DACB in the litter tray.

    Tiny little egg

    that's actually a fair size egg, lash eggs tend to not have a yolk at all and are truly tiny. from one of my a Marans, compared to a bantam egg.

    Showing chickens

    Depending on your age the best way to get started is in the 4-H Chick Chain. there are a lot of books available on the subject too and a 'detailed answer' here would be that, a book of many pages long.

    Breeding ducks

    you didn't say what kind of ducks but let's take Pekin for example, each hen lays on average 200 eggs per year so you'd have the potential for 200 ducklings per hen per year....................yep that's a decent amount for the average Joe.

    Best brooder in my opinion

    i had some old ones about 30 yrs ago that the side doors slid open too, but on the newer ones (last 10 yrs) they are there, but you can't slide them open.

    Best brooder in my opinion

    i've got 5 of them stacked in a battery, my only complaint is the door should be on a 36" side rather then the 30" side to make catching the chicks out of it a lot easier, it's not an issue on the top one with the lids that can be removed but in the stacked configuration the bottom 4 are a pain...

    Broody Serama Hen

    Let her become a mother!!!! after 40 days i wouldn't add another 21 by letting her hatch so i'd get a day old chick and slip it under her at night and let her raise it.

    Tek-Trol is an excellent disinfect for both incubator and eggs, at the proper dilution (i add 3.7cc to a 1qt spray bottle) it will not attack styrofoam.

    Trying to identify the breed of my rooster.

    Absolutely. It's very likely the rooster from one of their sex linked programs and they use them as packing peanuts on small orders

    Trying to identify the breed of my rooster.

    looks an awful lot like the crossbreed from hatchery stock sold at a lot of the TSC and other farm stores during spring 'chick days', my daughter has had a few of them in her flock from those sales.

    you have the 'deluxe multi turn', it's a better thermostat then the 'electronic thermostat', i've got one of the multi and two of the electronic, the multi turn is a lot easier to dial in to the exact temp as it's a much finer adjustment.

    tips and secrets of the GQF 1502 sportsman...

    if your humidity isn't sufficiently low enough for the correct moisture loss during incubation the air cell will be too small and the chick too big, this makes it difficult (and sometimes impossible) for the chick to zip and get out of the shell. with it being your only option doing non...

    Duck Hatched in Bra

    not to be lewd but i think it would be required to be XX size to be successful with a hatch, the egg would need to be in enough contact to stay at temp, the smaller the breast the less likely that is to happen and that goes up in proportion to the egg size.
