    How I Solved My Humidity Problems

    I found my hovabator runs with too high a humidity (apx. 70 %) only using the center reservoir. It is also difficult to see if it has any water in it...especially with the auto cradle and I had to open the incubator to add water. So I worked out the following set up: I'm sure I'm not the...

    Welsummer x Ameraucana

    I have a real mixed batch of chicks from 3 different coops, 4 of which are mine with 2 pure Welsummers and maybe 2 Ameraucana/Welsummer crosses. Specifically welsummer roo x black Ameraucana hen. Any Idea what these chicks should look like?????

    Thought you all might find this picture interesting. There are 18 chickens inside the coop crapping themselves.

    20% Turkey Grower for Layers?

    My layers are picking (and eating) each other's feathers pretty bad and I think they are about to molt, so I picked up a bag of turkey grower as that is the only thing locally available that is higher in protein. I think they are about to molt because they have slowed their laying way down and...

    Mixing Quail (Coturnix) in with Chickens?

    Excuse the newbie question (I am sure this has been asked before, but I am too lazy to do a search) but...can you mix layer quail in with your chickens? I know a woman who had quail in with her parrots and they stayed on the ground and ate the spilled feed...kinda like a "mop up" crew. My...

    Potentially Dumb Question

    I was talking to someone up here in Alaska about buying hatching eggs from the lower 48 States and she said she has a poor hatch rate with many detached (??) air cells. Everything is air-freighted up here. I was wondering if it was a problem with the decompression of high altitude. Which...

    Welsummers: First Eggs Pictures and Question

    Here are my Welsummer's first eggs. They are about 5 months old. I thought they were at least a month away from laying. However, they have been pretty noisy lately. I guess they were telling everyone they were getting ready. Some are dark and some are pretty light. I thought I read...

    Marans as a Dual Purpose (cold weather) Breed

    Excuse another marans thread (but I'm guaranteed to get a few responses). I just butchered 2 5-month old black copper roosters and I was impressed by 3 things: 1. I was amazed by how many feathers these guys had. They seem to have twice the feathers as my other breeds (Welsummers &...

    Free/Trade---Homer, Alaska----Purebred Welsummer Cockerels

    Have a couple extra Welsummer cockerels from Whitmore Farms in Maryland. Beautiful, healthy birds. Just starting to crow. Would like to be able to breed back to them if anything happens to the one I keep. Looking for banty cochins of decent quality...or maybe silkies. Thanks, Don.

    Mixed Flock: Welsummers, Blue/Black Ameraucanas, Black Coppper Marans

    I have 30 straight run chicks coming. Mostly Welsummers, some blue/black Ameraucanas and a few Marans thrown in. I figure minimum 50% will be roosters, with a target of 10 layers of brown and blue eggs. I will be building a 12 by 8 foot coop partitioned into 2 6x8 areas with seperate runs...

    Brinesea Oct 20 Humidity Problems?

    Newbie in Homer, Alaska

    We're still frozen up here. Don' have my coop up yet. Still in the planning stage. I know from talking to others that I don' want my wife to have to walk through poop to water, feed, and pick eggs and will design with that in mind. I work on the oilfield and need her on board. Don't...
