I was given this about a year ago from a family friend who bred reptiles, and it doesn't appear to have any turners. I am unsure if he ever used it or not; he did say it had been sitting for some time. I am torn between trying to play with this to get it to work/see if it works (which I am not...

I am located in Southern California. We are looking for Black Turkey poults or hatching eggs from birds who fit the APA standard. This means black plumage only, no other coloration on feathers, with a green sheen. Please let me know if you have some or know where I might find some other than...
Hoping someone can clear up a question about genetics for me. I had read somewhere on a post of someone selling poultry remark that the blacks they were offering for sale were extras or fillers in the box. They said they were unaware if they were blacks from a BBS breeding or if they were a...
I am looking for some reviews from those who have either model of the Brinsea Ecoglow. I have been searching past threads but many seem to be from a few years ago and from my understanding there will also some design flaws that have since been fixed. I was hoping some who have bought them more...
So a few weeks ago we were visiting the local feed store with the kids. This, of course, means the walk around to see all the poultry and animals. My 7 year old son, who is learning a lot with me about the poultry and loves it all, was excited that there were eggs in nest boxes. When he told the...
I recently purchased two Wyandottes (a gold and a silver laced) who I hope to be pullets. These are my first Wyandottes, I only have Orps other than these two and I find the Wyandottes more difficult to sex. Best guesses from those with experience are appreciated!! These chicks are between 7-10...
So my Blue Orpington is 16 weeks old now (whom we believe is a hen but we are watching closely, lol). I have noticed her sitting more often lately the past week or so and thought it was odd. She would walk around if you got close to her and seemed to walk fine. Two days ago we went to the store...
Hello all!!
So I am having a bit of a dilemma in choosing a Blue Orpington roo. I am trying to build a nice breeding pen of blue orps. I am new to this so I would appreciate opinions.
Currently I have two 4 week old blue cockerels from Taylor Hobby Farms (Marc Sacre lines) and I also have a...
Hello all,
I am on the hunt for high quality Large Fowl Chocolate Orpington hatching eggs. I am not interested in the bantam varieties or medium project birds. I already have a trio and am looking to get more for a breeding pen. These are my babies pictured at 14 weeks. Please let me know if...
Hello all!
I am sure there are a great deal of threads like this, and I have been looking at older ones to gain some already discussed past opinions on the subject. BUT I would still like to ask your opinion on what is a better purchase to make. I am looking for an incubator for future use. I...
Hello everyone!! So I am driving myself nuts staring at these guys trying to determine their sex. I bought them at 8 weeks and the breeder was certain they were all hens except the chocolate, who is supposed to be a rooster. She did say that in case she was mistaken I could always exchange a...
My name is Amanda and I am a new member, though I have used this site as a reference for a while whilst deciding which breed of chicken I wanted. I have just started my little flock of Orpington babies 2 weeks ago with 6 8 week old birds and they are now 10 weeks. I have chocolate, lavender and...
