i would like to buy bourbon red hatching eggs from someone. Bonus if you have a non hatchery line. Must be NPIP certified. Please PM me if you have them.
Thank you so much! That takes a lot of the guesswork out for me. It is plenty large for a few egg turners so that'll make my life easier.
My boyfriend is a bit against building it because he doesnt want to ruin this great find. I got the cooler for free from a lady who was just going to dump...
So today I acquired a wine cooler. Its the perfect size for an incubator. However, I have almost zero understanding on what I need to do to build one. What kinds of parts do I need for heat/humidity/turning/ etc?
Rural Oklahoma. I can throw a rock and it'll land in the Texas panhandle.
I found a hatchery in Oklahoma but their shipping cost/distance from me would've been even more expensive.
So I had a really bad incident last week and I lost 95% of my flock. I am looking to replace them these next few months. What online retailer would you suggest? I want barred rocks, rhode island reds, and light brahmas.
Well I wont have to worry about that pair of dogs anymore. After they killed that calf and my flock they were deemed dangerous. The city manager dispatched them. It is a bit sad because I know its not really the dogs fault. They are just being dogs, the owner should have been more responsible...
So we found the dogs and the owner. We are submitting a police report now with estimated damages. The value of the chickens themselves, the pens that were torn up, and the future profit we would have made of the eggs. It is a question of whether or not this guy will pay with or without going to...
If we can get any reimbursement for this it is going towards reinforcing the fence. We plan on adding welded wire to the outside fence line. If we can we will be adding a hot wire too. I wont be getting any more birds until this is done. I wouldn't be able to stand it if these dogs came back and...
My other chicken owning neighbor almost had a problem with them too. They tried to get into her yard before mine. She didn't know they'd head to mine next. They aren't strays or dumped. We've seen them around the opposite side of town before. (It's a town of 500 people) so everyone knows...
We have pictures of them in the pens. Not necessarily of the bodies. We have filed a report/complaint. I do know all my neighbors dogs and I don't recognize these ones. What is SSS?
I'm in shock.
I came home from work and my boyfriend sat me down. At noon today two neighborhood dogs broke into my pens. They killed almost my whole laying flock. I lost 15 birds altogether. They were so tame and lovable. They were my first to ever raise. 3 of them were my neighbors that were...
Doing well and seem healthy. I've medicated the water just in case.
Thank you for helping me. I'm still a bit of a newbie and didn't realize what I was dealing with
