    My Hens Won't Lay in the Roll Out Nestbox

    Help! We finally got a roll out nest box and only 1 in 40 eggs is being laid in it. They are laying under it, in the coop bedding and in their feed. We're getting more broken eggs now than when we had the standard nestbox in there. It's in the same spot and aside from the internal angle of the...

    Just hatched my first QUAIL!!!

    We just finished our first hatch from 36 eggs we had 35 fertile. 2 were blood rings on d7 so they were removed with the clearly clear egg. Of the 33, 30 hatched and we have 27 strong buggers 2 days later. (2 died and 1 was culled for deformity). I can't believe how slippery these little suckers...

    We've got a new chicken coop!!!

    We moved in June and have been working like no other on our house. Now we've moved the chickens. They are now located in a 2 car garage we call The Shoppe. It was used as a car shop for 15 years, was greasy and dilapidated. We know the roof is the next thing to need repair. We used lots of left...

    Corid dosing for 10 chickens

    I was given a mini flock of birds and I think they need to be treated for cocci. They are 8 months old laying hens. They have enough of the symptoms I still have them isolated. How much powder to how much water, and for how long??? Help!!!

    Breeds needing preservation - how rare

    Probably a stupid question but... How rare is a breed of bird, (you know, the ones on the preservation list as threatened, critical, etc.) if McMurray or Ideal is selling them? I've heard great things about their rare bird selection, but you'd think with their intense breeding these breeds...

    My first day in the Farmer's Market!

    So I think it went well, lots of people stopped to ask questions. And many of them mentioned that they just bought eggs because they didn't think anyone would ever be selling them at the FM. I had 13 purchases, not bad for $5/dozen. I thought I would have more, but I think people need to be able...

    Anyone selling eggs in the Farmer's Market - Help!

    I don't know what the risk of being sued is for selling eggs without liability insurance. I know that only like 1 in 20,000 eggs has enough salmonella in it to sicken someone who is immunocompromised, but it only takes one person saying they bought eggs in the farmer's market for me to lose my...

    Look at my new chicken!!!

    My mom won her in a raffle at a rabbit show this weekend! What breed is she? (in case someone doesn't realize - she's a stuffed hen, not really alive anymore.) I added the eggs under her. Her previous owner didn't understand how much happier she'd be if she had a purpose. So we put some of...

    I just had to tell you about my great day!

    An aquiantance wants to buy 10 doz+ eggs a week from us because they sell out at the Farmer's Market too early every weekend. I am so psyched, with my mom being a teacher, most of our customers are teachers at her school. We've been selling hens because we didn't want to have so many eggs all...

    We were having a hard time selling eggs, so we incubated!

    We were having a hard time selling eggs, so we incubated! My mom is a teacher so the electricity is free for us. We set 2 dozen and had a slew of people on CL jump at the chance to get the for $1 each. We figure it's $.75 more per egg selling them as chicks than we were getting for the eggs...
