Hey wisco friends! Not sure if you remember me, I was on here a looong time ago when I had a few hens and a few ducks. I then moved from that house and ended up in a duplex for a year, so didn’t own birds and fell off this forum. I had since moved to a hobby farm in Washington county, and have...
I will join! I gotta get back to you on number of eggs and set date tho, as we are in the middle of our first hatch and will collect eggs until these fluffbutts clear the incubator! Will pm you in a couple days!
Also I will be running my own personal hatch date, my baby girl is due April 10th...
My deaaaaaar husband accidentally put the little turkeys in with the big turkeys last night. I told him to put them in with the chickens. I've had no problems thus far, and they have an area where they can get away from the big girls completely. I just hear that your not suppossed to mix turkey...
Hey guys, so I am 5 days into setting eggs, and i'm having humidity issues. They are staying around 60%. I know I am suppossed to aim for 30-40%. I have no water in the incubator, and I have a hovabator and have removed the two red plugs to help with airflow. What else can I do?
Hello all!
As of today, I am a new turkey mama! To two yearling blue slate hens, 2 two month old blue slate poults, and one little poult that is black with a white head, and a black spot on his forehead. He's tinier, maybe a month? Not sure his breed, got an email into the person I picked them...
So I got my hatching eggs and I wasn't expecting them yet!!! :O
Letting them rest for 24 hrs before setting. Checking incubator temp now, aiming for 99.5. Gotta go read what humidity should be at. I got a still air incubator. Also got an egg turner.
I wanted to finish that post but had to put the 3yo to nap cause man o man he is a crab.
Anyways, I am looking for marans, more amercaunas and more orps. Not sure what colors of what, but I think I might try keeping a rooster of those cuckoos and if he doesn't drive me crazy try selling chicks...
Jim) at my old house we just had 3 white leghorns. Just to keep us in eggs. Now we have 1 buff orp, 4 red star pullets, 4 americauna hens, 1 gold laced Wyandotte pullet. Getting 15+ lemon cuckoo orp eggs to set and try to hatch.
Cc) I did. We are on 4+ acres now. My garden has been taking up a...
Hoping to set 15+ lemon cuckoo orps this coming week. Waiting to hear back from farmerboy. Been offline for awhile :/. My first time incubating chicken eggs, I've done reptile eggs in the past. So excited! :)
Thanks ladies! Here's some close ups...buff 1, I'm thinking roo, but only because of comparing him to the others.
Here's buff 2, which I think is pullet.
And finally number 3, which I have no idea.
But I'm asking you lovely ladies, cause I only ever had pullets before!!!
Hey everyone,
So I bought 7 buff orpingtons, or, so I thought, obviously I ended up with 4 not so buff orps. What are those red and white ones? I was thinking RIR but they don't have the white...or do they?
Also I know the pic isn't the best, but gender help would be great. I can post some...
