    Developing My Own Breed Of Large Gamefowl For Free Range Survival (Junglefowl x Liege)

    I know, that's actually what I was interested in too. Its very interesting to follow along to see how they naturally develop. Yes though, mostly hawks, and sometimes fox. this time of year most of them sleep in the shed at night, which I lock and then open up in the morning.

    Whittling away (A flocks journal/dialog)

    After looking through some old-er) photos, I realized Its been EIGHT years (2017) since our earliest flock began the free range life. I am creating this mostly just for personal reasons and to save some eventful memories old and new, and remember some of our flock members. We'll see how...

    Developing My Own Breed Of Large Gamefowl For Free Range Survival (Junglefowl x Liege)

    Its been awhile since I have updated myself on this project. Your birds are looking amazing though!!! I have found that as long as I supplement their diet the bigger birds have a bit higher survival rate against predators compared to their smaller peers. despite having less jumping and flight...

    Did you actually find the answers to these questions before asking. If so,that's dedication! I use to challenge myself with stuff like this and it would take hours of scrolling find one answer. (I'm slow). Last year I tried finding the posts of when two seasoned members "long time...

    Harris Farms Nurture Right 360 Incubator is AMAZING!

    No, I keep it inside with fairly stable temperature. I have observed the incubator more closely during the last hatch and the temperature was fluctuating by a few degrees every day. I'm beginning to think it's something wrong with the circuit board since I know they can be finicky. Thinking...

    Harris Farms Nurture Right 360 Incubator is AMAZING!

    I used the medical therm with water to calibrate my incubator thermometers. Each thermometer reads about a three degree difference, so I'll take note of that. I don't know if that's enough difference to kill the eggs or not? Non hatched , but from what I learned so far it could...

    Harris Farms Nurture Right 360 Incubator is AMAZING!

    Thank you, I will look into weighing the eggs. I'm using a hygrometer I had bought from the local pet store. The incubator doesn't have a built in hygrometer. From what I was reading here . https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/no-humidity.1445384/ Maybe this is...

    Harris Farms Nurture Right 360 Incubator is AMAZING!

    Thank you very much. Just honest curiosity , why wouldn't a hen be an accurate calibration? My guess is too many variables where and how you place the therm under the hen. (Or maybe you mean ,this is not the place to ask this) :oops:
