    Nevadans?

    Okay, I was thinking about Midget Whites, Bourbon Reds, and some broad breasted. So, I think we could get a complete order together including some Royal Palms. I'm in Minden, but travel to Reno multiple times per week. I think delivery would be early April-ish.

    Hi All, Anybody interested in turkeys? I want to order some heritage breeds, but don't want 15 of them. Let me know and I'll take care of ordering and delivering. Jason

    The Buckeye Thread

    If you do find a source, make sure to research before buying. You could end up with a lot of work ahead of you if you don't! How so? Are there things I need to know about this particular breed, or just buying chickens in general?

    The Buckeye Thread

    Hello All, I just stumbled upon the Buckeye breed and am looking for a source for fertilized eggs. I live on Buckeye Creek in Nevada, so I thought this breed should be represented on our property. Does anybody have a source with eggs available? I'd like to hatch some out before it gets too...

    Hello All, Guinea Fowl Update: Of the 18 eggs, 12 appeared to be fertile at 10 days, 6 appear to be still viable at 25 days, 1 is iffy. Should start to see some activity on Sunday (Day 28). Not shaping up to be an encouraging hatch rate, but this is our first time, so I hope we'll improve...

    Hello everybody, it's been awhile since I've been on here. We are in the process of purchasing a home in the Minden area and will begin building our flock again when we are settled. So, I'll be checking in a little more frequently and am looking forward to listening to, and learning from...

    Echetinos Chicken Coop

    Day one of the coop construction. Not as much progress as expected, but considering it's a design/build project, I'm pleased with what we've accomplished, and happy to be this much closer to getting some chickens! Some of the posts were shorter than what I wanted so we put some of them...

    Penturner, I'm not sure if you do contract work, but I am interested in your pens and like to discuss commissioning your talent.

    Solar Power in the Chicken House

    So, what is the final analysis of this project? Success? Not feasible? Incomplete? I'm going to attempt a similar endeavor. I'll keep you all posted! Thanks for all the valuable information, Great Stuff.

    Haha...okay. Well, he's really nice and doesn't make a sound, so far. I love the way he looks, darn. I'm glad I finally asked! How about this one: Thanks, Jason

    Nevadans?

    Hello All, So, to date, none of the birds we got in early-mid July have produced anything. We brought in a couple of "ringers" and have been getting eggs from them. This might be a dumb question, but I'm not an expert. I've attached some pictures of the bird I got from Genny and am curious...

    As a refuge from the daily grind, I'll be happy when I can come on to BYC and not have to look at Harry Reid or Sharon Angle's faces! Englyntine, when you get a chance, I'd love to see some pictures of your worm/compost arrangement.

    SparksNV, I don't know that it's an option for you, but if you look at the poo tray I installed in my coop you'll see that it hangs directly below their roost. It catches 90% of the litter that would normally hit the ground. It's easy to remove/clean and keeps the floor almost poo-free...
