    What is the value for these coop items?

    My dad's friend's father used to operate a chicken farm. My dad went in and bought this for me. It is galvanized steel that looks good as new on being cleaned up. He has 4 barn style booders (almost big as a car), about 10 of these nest boxes with fold up perches (prevent poopy eggs at...

    http://www.avianweb.com/scissorsbeak.html I know this appliance was attached to the skull bones of this parrot. I was thinking perhaps something like a falcon hood (with eye slits) An appliance hooked to the hood. Any ideas? I don't have a crossbeak to test on.

    Here is a video of my hen laying an egg.

    My OEGB pullet officially known as Wheezy because she wheezes when laying eggs. I thought something was wrong with her but, found out it is her egg laying noise. I filmed her this time hoping it might be of some use to the group.

    Incubator test chick is driving me nuts! Help hehe.

    I pulled out one of my untested incubators and ran it with two eggs. One has hatched and the little thing is peeping continually. It is plenty warm and fed. It wants me to hold it all the time. I have plenty chicks coming so I don't want to buy any more right now. What works besides chicks to...

    Way to secure broken window in garage (theft) ?

    Someone broke into our garage last night by prying open a window with a crowbar. They had the nerve to take a scooter out the front door of the garage. We are left with the prospect of how to secure the window better now that the pryed lock is just broken off. The police weren't very...

    Here is something that will help you with your LG

    I haven't told this to many because I pick up a few LG's full stocked for very cheap over craigslist and such from first hatchers giving up on them. The top and bottom of the LG do not fit together well so humidity and temps fluctuate a lot. Why put all the vent holes in the incubator when...

    Hrm Pullet having egg problems?

    One of my splash oegb pullets was found wheezing and not going too well. I brought her indoors and she wheezed a few more times and we thought she was dying. I had never seen anything like this. She laid a soft shell egg on the counter and appeared to recover and regained her appetite. Is this...

    Anyone else ever measure a hen's settings locally?

    Last spring I put probes under one of my hens because she had excellent hatch rate which was much more than myself even though mine was not that bad but, still nothing like hers. I'm going to try it soon with some D'uccle eggs to see how it comes out. Her temps varied from 99-101 Humidity...

    Challenge Of The Father (Recycling Nightmare LOL) Finished (pg5)

    If I do this, my dad promises me that he will allow me the use of his storage shed that borders his/and my property. My own larger coop was destroyed by falling trees if anyone remembers that. This is just winter fun though to see what I can turn up. My father has given me the recycling...

    Tom Cat Mommies

    One year ago today my dad was down by the forest and found a small black kitten abandoned. She had an upper respiratory infection and we assumed the mother may have had the same thing and died. We took her to the vet whom gave us a very small dropper to give her milk replacer and antibiotics...

    Run covering ideas for Chainlink Panels.

    I would like some ideas on run coverings on top of chain link panels. I have a 10x10x6 and a 10x20x5 cages. I looked at the dog type covers and they looked flimsy and not long lasting. I want to keep my D'uccles feet dry. They are the old style 1970's, 1980's heavy duty panels so they could...

    Need help (Sleet accident)

    We had a 150ft pine fall on our coop. It was crushed badly. Luckily most of the chickens ran for terror and went to a side building. One hen sadly though was impaled through the wing by a 2x4 that is just solid in the ground by a foot or more (the perch). I think I'm going to have to amputate to...

    Toulouse goose can fly?

    At the local fishing lake a flock of Canadian Geese came flying in with a solitary Toulouse goose. I thought they couldn't fly from being a farm type goose. I'll try to get photos of them next time I head there. The goose was abandoned at the lake a year or so ago. My uncle kept saying it died...

    Lucky Dog (One almost bit the dust)

    I have been sick with the flu and my dad has been caring for my chickens. He came over and told me a dog was running around my run barking at the chickens. It was also going up to my neighbor's porch (elderly lady) and jumping up on the screen door trying to get through. She was very frightened...
