I have a Styrofoam one I hate. It kills my poor babies with its spikes and unreliable gauges. I have to ask, why do you use the Styrofoam one for hatching? It seems with the plastic, it would be easy to see the progress.
I was seriously considering getting a sportsman, but I may be talking...
I haven't had any issues with my roos and turkeys. I guess im lucky. My two toms were trying to kill each other so i sold the best looking one. The family i sold it too is telling me they are having trouble with him and thier roosters. They are talking about getting rid of him.
My commercial white hen went to laying big time. She laid her first egg on the floor of their coup, with my French Marans, which she mothers. I made her a nest which I didn't know if she would start using it, but she did immediately.
I never saw my tom, a blue slate, mate with her, but my...

What is BOSS? Is it bad for them to go broody? I love when mine do... it saves me so much headache. . I'm not as good a raising chicks or poults as they are. I have a brown hen chicken that has hatched and raised a most of my grown flock... including my turkeys. .. 8 out of 12 and she just...
I know it's been a while since I shared and I was trying to sell my boys after I lost my hen to a fence.. Well, the folks that bought my Mo, named him Maverick(Blue Slate). They had a bronze, I think they were gonna mate him with. She was a pretty girl.. That left me with Curly my tom with the...
