    Incubator noise is driving me insane!!

    The fans work very well in these units. The problem is nothing more than isolation grommets which do not exist for them and this makes the lid a soundboard for the fan. You can try to find or make grommets or just replace the fan with one from an old desktop pc that is not used/working anymore...

    Ayam Cemani Fraud?

    What I learned is that this is a mutation so almost anything is certainly possible. To get a "breed" it has to breed true all the time. Mutations on the other hand can and do carry previous genes which can pop up every so often depending on how they are expressed. So, you cull, for standard...

    False information about sand all over the internet

    Comment by 'refamat' in article 'Trimming Your Chicken's Nails - Tutorial'

    Clove powder is good to stop bleeding and is antimicrobial a little so keeps issues down. But, I thought it mentioned spurs in the title. Did I miss that part. I saw a video how a judge grabs and twists them off and you have to stop the bleeding then

    Need advice from anyone who has bought and used the DIY water well drilling setup that uses an air c

    wind power is good sometimes in SoCal..when the Santa Annas blow, it would devastate your structures I'm thinking. I remember seeing many uprooted trees when I was a child in the San Fernando valley. Drilling there can be a challenge though. Your looking at a variety of soil and rock types there...

    DIY Thread - Let's see your "Inventions".

    I take the 1 gallon milk jugs and cut out one of the round indents they mold into them and use them for oyster shell and grit mounted close to the floor of the coop so the birds cn stick their head in and get the shell. Keeps the material from getting spread all over and lose in the floor mess.

    Need advice from anyone who has bought and used the DIY water well drilling setup that uses an air c

    Hand augering is ok, had a friend who grew up in Cuba, he and two brothers hand augered down to almost 3oo ft when they were young men. Even in soft soil that would be rough. Shallow wells are ok, but unless you get some volume you can run them dry easily. That's what I want to do is deepen a...

    My turkeys are laying eggs. But should they?

    One of my hens has been laying and so I have been incubating the eggs. I've had 9 hatch over the last 3 weeks so far and just set 7 eggs today. I have a brinsea but the idea will be the same. Turn them as suggested, keep your water close to the heat elements, no need to do any more than place...

    How would you get rid of coyotes?

    One person I've read elsewhere I think, marked his own property stating the dogs marking his property din't stop them but his own scent did. So, make some tea and walk your property line when no one can see you. Also, try getting some one with beagles out to do some tracking and chasing.
