Sorry Tioga County PA is 501 miles from me so that would be a 1000 mile round trip for me. That would be 4+ tanks of gas in my jeep. $35 would not come close to covering that.
I have a cabinet style incubator for sale. I built this incubator and it works perfectly. It has a GQF heating element and wafer thermostat and 110 volt ball bearing fan. Comes with a new spare fan, heating element and wafer thermostat. The fan that is currently in it has only been used for...
Candled them last night again and it still looks like I have 35 doing good. Turned of the turner and they are in lockdown. Fingers are crossed for Saturday.
Going to candle the eggs one more time tonight and make sure they are all still good. Tomorrow when I get up I will add the humidity pad and turn off the turner and hopefully Saturday I will have 35 chicks.
I built a cabinet incubator out of birch plywood. Used GQF Heating element and Wafer thermostat and 110 v fan. Has automatic humidity controlled by a float to keep the water in it and full but not allowing it to overfill. At day 18 I put in a humidity pad and it brings the humidity up to...
Just candled my eggs that are due to hatch on Jan 28th. Out of 42 I started 35 are alive and developing just fine. 7 never started. Any body else due to hatch on the 28th? I love this incubator I built it works great.

This is my new incubator I just built. Build time was 6 hours after I got all the parts.

Not sure on the law in CO. but here in Ohio we have what is called a leash law. If your dog is off your property then it must be on a leash. I am sorry the woman lost her dog but the dog should have been under her or the friends control at all times. If by chance that she does get enough...
I have never seen any deer in this area they tend to stay back in the back of my property near the food plot and the woods. My property is broken up into 3 sections sort of. 2 acres are front and back yard. Then a 2 acre pasture and this is where I am planning on doing the fence at the front...
I have had problems with Coyotes and coons and I am to the point I am going to run a serious electric fence around about 1.5 acres for my chickens to run in without worrying about coyote or coons getting in. I would like your opinions on my plan.
Here is my plan. I am going to fence in 1.5...
We have a huge amount of predators around here. Coons and coyote are all over the place so that is why I actively trap during trapping season or when problems occur outside of trapping season. Last year on opening day I set out 30 traps and when I went out to check the traps the next day I...
I used one of these sparrow traps and it works great. It is a repeating sparrow trap so you can catch multiple birds without resetting the trap. I have caught up to 20 sparrows at a time in it. http://www.sparrowtraps.net/
I lost my first bird to a coyote but unfortunately for the coyote I saw it while it was eating the guinea. 175 yards is no challenge for me and my .223 Remington SPS. I moved to my new farm in July and have lost nothing until now. My coops are rock solid and have never had a problem with...
Always had very good luck with Sardines. I use them on my trap line too not just for problems around my coops. I also use a combination of fish oil and shellfish oil.
Sharon Thanks for the response but if I can get eggs that don't have to be shipped I am going to go that route. If the person who posted below you does not have any or can't get any I will take a look at your auction.
Van I would definitely be interested in some of those eggs. I emailed you...
I am looking for some Buff Orpington and Barred Rock hatching eggs. Nothing special just some good eggs. Don't care about show quality birds I just wanna fire up the incubator and increase the amount of birds I have in my little flock. Looking for maybe 12 of each type egg but will take less...
