    Fairy egg at 11 months?

    How long can they lay fairy eggs? I've got a Swedish Flower hen that's 13 months, 2 weeks old (58 weeks) as of today. And she's still laying fairy eggs with regularity. I do believe I got a few very large sized eggs out of her earlier in the spring, but all I'm finding now is these yolk-less...

    Tons and Tons of waterfowl migrate thru Sequoyah county due to Kerr reservoir and the Arkansas river basin. Hope those of us to the West in drier counties will escape this mess..

    ***OKIES in the BYC III ***

    Same here. I have a little coop to lock them up at night, but during daylight hours, they roam a half-acre backyard. An enclosed run would use resources and funds that I just don't have available at the moment.. I did take down my bird feeders to hopefully minimize wild bird interaction...

    Urgent incubator question for chicken eggs

    Don't worry too much about it. If you're above 30 and below 55, you're probably fine. I have 2 of the same incubator. The last time I hatched eggs, I ran mine dry for day 1-17 and then added water on day 18, closed the vents and got the humidity as high as I could get it. If I remember right...

    Avian influenza found in South Carolina

    So "heat" is what's needed to prune it back in nature? If we can just hold on, Spring is one the way. An honest 80 degrees right now in OK today.. Seems down right Hot after having sleet and snow last week.

    So this probably is a really dumb question, but....

    Meet Fridge, short for Refrigerator chicken. About 4 years ago I was in the same situation. A bud of mine had some chickens and a predator was slowly picking them off. He had a barnyard mix rooster that was darn nice. Great around people and protected his hens with authority during daylight...

    How does a DRY HATCH work?

    I "dry hatched" some Swedish Flower hen eggs last April on the dining room table in Oklahoma. Didn't add any water until day 18. If I remember right, out of 13 viable eggs, 11 hatched.

    ***OKIES in the BYC III ***

    Went to the Newcastle Poultry auction yesterday for the first time, thought I'd report back. There were things that I liked and disliked about it Likes: 1) The facility was pretty clean and adequate, as clean as a shared county AG barn can be. Attendance and participation might have been down...

    ***OKIES in the BYC III ***

    Nah, no luck. Doesn't seem to be any interest, even as just sacraficial flock protectors. Thinking about trying a sale next week, just to see if anybody will take them. I've heard there's a decent sale in Maud and one in Jones. Bud of mine had some Polish, they were fun to watch. A bit...
