Do you just sow the seeds in this and keep them damp with a paper towel or what? Have seeds and 2 of these and I would like to do my chickens some of this for the winter. VERY good idea but would love some info on how you do this in the tub?
Blooie didn't you use to post on the home decorating forum? Or is it here I remember you from?
Well I wound up bringing mine indoors because I had it wrapped so tight out there I couldn't check on them except through a pep hole and it STILL wasn't holding good temps in there. Insulated with...
I tested it out on the cabinet for 2 hours or more and heat was coming from both sides of it. It's fine. Health is not good so not going to fuss with it.
I did something like this myself because my heat is not staying consistent and I didn't want to deal with pasty butt! In my opinion that is what causes it and I'm not arguing my point. Anyway that said I had this little metal thing I'd found at the thrift store so I used an extra heating pad I...
OK I called today and he said 7-10 days for what he gave me on the tylan sp? . Then said to hold the eggs for 10 days once I get done giving it to them. I had asked if I could scramble the eggs and feed them back to them and she told me yes. Just filled up the 2nd eighteen pack so that's really...
Wanted to add something here. I have been losing a hen about every two weeks and saw no signs of anything only a cough every now and then but thought they had something in their throat since they will do this every so often in the past. They acted fine, so sneezing, nothing coming from their...
My vet gave me Tylan powder for their water. I can't remember how long he told me to give it for and forgot to ask about how long to hold the eggs after the last dose! UGH Will ask tomorrow but was wondering if any of you knew. He did tell me to hold the eggs which I have been doing but also...
OH NOOOOO I am sooooo sorry Cmom! :( I just put wet sponges in my 1st batch for the season. 30 eggs in the bator. Today is the 18th day. Praying they ALL hatch!
Wanted to show my soil. I have been doing deep litter for a few years now. This is what my soil on the outside of the pen looks like. My lawn mower has been torn up so I haven't been able to sweep them up any litter so it's really needing it now. It's all gone inside their pen but it's still...
Thank you!! Actually these two males grew up together as well, but I moved the one because of the fighting since I only had the 7 females. Now I have 10 so that's why I was wondering. Someone told me to hatch eggs from the one and then try the other one to see which one produces better off...
Thank you Fred I VERY MUCH appreciate your 2 cents worth. :-) I didn't get to hatch out any last year and wanted to hatch out some this year for myself. Well I did hatch out 3.... but that's not many. Thank you again!!!
ah bless his heart. I'd want to keep him to since he's more used to you. Yeah those rolls of wire are heavy!! Glad you got your pens done. I have one section I want to close in and roof to have an extra pen. Hubby has gotten tired of building. lol Gave him a break last year although I DO help...
Cmom- good luck with those eggs! I'm wanting to get started with that myself. I had a question and wanted to come on here and ask and see what I need to do. I got 3 more hens to go with mine. They actually came from mine. I gave someone some eggs and they decided to get out of the chicken...
I know that, I have BOTH groups. :-) There's more than half laying now since it's warmed up some. By pro I meant production reds. I have heritage and pro.
