    EGLU CUBE OWNERS!

    I just bought one. I've been hesitating for years and years because of the price. If you are in the States it's also quite hard to actually GET one, especially if you live in the country. They are not kidding when they say 5 large boxes. I ordered the Eglu Cube with the extended run. I had...

    best way to put new with old

    I have my six 7 week olds in their brooder cage with heat lamp out in the coop. I moved them out a few days ago. I want them to get used to coop life and let the big girls see them. I did have them out with a few of the nicest hens yesterday but naturally there were the pick-on moments. I'm...

    I'm in a bit of a quandry about my four wk. old ladies

    My favorite and most bold young lady, Euphemia, was doing kamekaze leaps in the brooder! She'd rev up and jump as high as she could and try to thump her sisters! She's hysterical! Then I'd say, "Euphemia, what are you doing?", she'd come up to the side of the brooder and look at me! I am...

    I'm in a bit of a quandry about my four wk. old ladies

    Quote: I'm sorry--I must have mis-read your post then! This sounds perfect! You're doing it EXACTLY right! No you're right! At first I was going to let them all out together in the smaller of the runs and then thought better of it so I kept the door of the kennel closed! The little ones...

    I'm in a bit of a quandry about my four wk. old ladies

    I'm worried about the size difference too so what I've done is move the brooder (kennel) out to the coop and keep the door closed. The chicks and mature hens can see the chicks and vice versa but they can't interact. I can put the adults out for a few hours into the large run and let the...

    I'm in a bit of a quandry about my four wk. old ladies

    Yes... it's HOT! I do have a heat lamp strung out to the coop so I can turn it on if the nights get too cold.

    7 week olds dont go in at night?

    I've done the lockdown too..... my ladies will eventually go in and roost when full darkness falls. I don't like to leave the coop door open after dark but once or twice I've had a meeting to attend and had to return after dark. They were all snug up in the rafters of the coop.

    I'm in a bit of a quandry about my four wk. old ladies

    My four week old ladies, two each of Silver Laced Wyandotte, two Speckled Sussex and two Golden Laced Wyandotte are developing nicely in their indoor brooder and are looking ready for some turnout time in the chicken paddock. The weather here in NY is warm and summery and the chicks have a...

    7 week olds dont go in at night?

    Even my big girls don't always want to come in at dusk from their chicken paddock so I make sure that I have treats handy. After a few days of that they come galloping and happily go in.

    God help me -- I've got 25 button quail eggs en route.

    I agree! There is NOTHING like those little bumbly bee fuzzy butts zooming around to make you want more!

    all I can say is "wow!" - duck poo rules!

    I also pour my fish tank water and African Clawed Frog water on my garden plants! Works a bit like duck-poo water, I'd expect.

    all I can say is "wow!" - duck poo rules!

    ha ha! Only a gardener would appreciate poo! I like the poo my animals and birds produce too - great for the garden. I've got horse, goat and chicken poo for the plants.

    Need Advice for Hawks?

    I finally went out and bought pheasant netting and that encloses my entire chicken area - roughly 40' x 40'. It's ugly (I prop it up with clothesline poles) and it's a pain to walk under but the chickens are safe. Several times a week a hawk will smack that netting trying to take my bantam hen...

    NY chicken lover!!!!

    I have a Hovabater 1588 and I didn't do well with a Cayuga hatch that I was looking forward to. Not a single egg hatched. Probably my fault with wonky humidity levels. It's been great with chicken eggs and button quail eggs.

    Turkey hatching....incubators....???? (newbie)

    Quote: I have the Genesis 1588 and have four Royal Palm eggs to put in today. These are my first turkey eggs and I've read that at the end of the incubation period that the temp should be lowered slightly and the humidity raised. Do you do this with your Genesis? I've read the instructions...

    E-Bay scam??

    Mine were a Guinea Fowl assortment. It's the complete lack of communication for many buyers that has me concerned.
