I feel the need to say sorry to all my friends I have not talked with in such a long time. Times are tough but we must stick together.
Just wanted to stop in and say hey. I have made so many friends here!
Thanks !!
After watching the video of that party with the plucker, I just had to make one.
I do plan to add more fingers to it, I ran out and had to have it ready to go in short time. The guys were getting so loud. I asked them to be quiet but........ So they are now dinner.
The White eggs are Butlers and white quail. These came from Charlie.
The brown eggs are Buttons and the speckled eggs are Coturnix. They came from Mrs AK Bird Brain.
I have a incubator made from a cooler. It seems to work ok, not great but, that is another thing.
My question is what is the idea behind a hatcher?
I have eggs from dif. people coming at dif. times so I want a place to put the hatching eggs into for there last few days of incubation.
What I...
Today is day 16 for my eggs.

This morning one had pipped.
Around 10 am another pipped zipped and was out in just a few minutes. (got vid if you would like to see it!).
Went to eat and came back to see another pip and zip within just a few minutes.
The first to pip has...
I just lost my buddy Opie not long ago and do have a young (about a year old) Doxie
I call him Mr Griswold. I had Opie for only a few years when he passed away but before I got him he was abused. It took a year or so just to make him feel safe around other people at all.
My goal is to raise...
I started making this after work yesterday. The first section is 26" x 19" X 11".
The rest of the cage will be sectioned off into three 10" x 19" breeding units.
The dividers slide in and out to make one large cage or any combo you like!
It will have a feed trough outside and water cup system...
I woke this morning and checked on my bator.
And there it was a new Bobwhite Quail chick.
A day early,now I need to get there brooder setup.
I thought I would have today to get it ready.
Well off to get things setup!
Well I got 24 eggs from SamG347.
I was thinking ,that is a lot of eggs to turn 3 times a day.
This is what I came up with!
It took about an hour to scrounge up the parts and build.
The base;
The rods, made from old arrows.
I think it is cool that something made to kill is now going to bring...
I just found my little buddy on the floor.
I gave him CPR, but he did not respond.
He is my best friend.
I have post his picture before, everyone loved him.
I have lots of pictures of the little guy, and want to
post them here so others can enjoy just what a good
sport he was!
Thanks

Off to the post office to get my first eggs to hatch. They are Bobwhite Quail.
It went to the wrong p.o. I hope they are still ok, they have been in the guys truck all day yesterday. I thought they would call me like when my chicks came, they called I was there in ten minutes.
I see a lot of chicken houses here. Most from the cold zones.
My coop is open yet in closed. The roof is made from a fiberglass garage door. This is what I do, garage doors. Most of the frame work was made from torsion tubes, old door parts. They love it in there.
Here is a pic or two.

Hello great chicken lovers. Wow this place is the best! I have been lurking around for ten or eleven weeks now. I have not asked any questions, as everything I could think to ask about chickens, but was afraid to ask, has been answered many times over. Thank you for all the help thus far.
