    Malpositioned gosling?

All seemed well, raised the humidity to 65-70% and waited. 12 hours passed and the shell membrane (the...

    Deciding on de-icing options and their costs

    What method for keeping water from freezing takes the least amount of energy to run them if all are temp controlled? I know breaking ice with a hammer or changing water several times a day is cheap to some, but my work schedule prevents this from being an option. So, I am wondering if anyone...

    Quick brag on two roos

    I have four roos housed in twosomes. Two of these guys are fairly new here but today they proved their right to stay as long as they want. My closest neighbor has some feral cats that prowl around the barn. I've disposed of three of them but they just keep reproducing. They lurk around the barn...

    Is there a place to purchase replacement trays for the 6300 egg turner? I've looked and all I can find are places that sell the entire turner system. I have two trays that warped somehow and I want to replace them. TIA

    Flying with eggs and the xray machine

    I am going to be taking a trip and want to fly with a few eggs to give to someone else. Will the eggs going through the xray machine mess up the fertility or anything?

    .Mixed breeds of various egg coloring question

    I have read that brown coloring on eggs is dominant over blue or green. If I breed my EE hens to my BO rooster, or my Hamburg rooster, what are my odds of maintaining the green egg coloring in the offspring? I am learning how to incubate eggs so I am starting with the chickens I have...

    A few guinea questions

    I am fairly guinea ignorant, but I am learning before buying so please be patient. I have chickens, meat rabbits, and dairy goats. We've spent a small fortune trying to control varmits and flys. I have read that the guineas will eat bugs and will chase off snakes and cats. Here are my questions...
