Today I locked down my first batch of eggs. My friend Pam from Alvord donated 25 eggs for this project. I got my mother's old Brower incubator. It was full of dirt dobber nest. I cleaned it out and the heating element was out. I think. I took it to my co-working mechanic hoping...
I have several pretty young pullets. Really too many and would like to sell them. Suggestion on how to do this. I haven't had good luck with Craigs list. I want them to go to good homes and they are fancy hats and feathered footed. I don't want them to be someone's dinner.

Maybe you could give us (BYC) the newspaper's address and let the Backyard Forum people send in out opinions and "FACTS" about Chickens. Give us some details about the opinion colums and let us flood it.
Start a new subject and request out help. I'd be happy to.
Really!? The swimming pool? I...
I don't have any idea. Have you touch it? It looks like plastic. Maybe she got into trash and ate something and is trying to pass it? Hope you get some help .
