    About chicken tractors.......

    I live in CNY, and we get pretty cold winters up here and days of zero temps and high winds. How do these tractors hold up? I'd like to make a couple using the hoop house or A-frame idea, but want to know if they are adequate protection in nasty weather conditions. Am I overreacting, I mean...

    Has anyone seen this?? Russia's view...........

    PRAVADA - A Russian news-article RE America's Demise The irony of this article appearing in the English edition of Pravda (Russian newspaper) defies description.

    Easy way to clean out your sand runs!

    For those of you or not, that have sand runs and want to find an easy way to clean them. Well, I came across this by accident, I have this exact rake to pick up poop for my 3 dogs. I was picking it up today, when I saw chicken poop in their dust bath. Mind you, their dust bath is 2 feet wide...

    I'm trying again....

    Okay, had a bad first hatch and well, it happens. I decided to try and try again! Anyways, I noticed the first time, that the sponges seemed to dry out fairly quick when I was trying to raise my humidity during lockdown. I was thinking of using those chamois cloths, (think Shamwow) and was...

    When is the right time

    to remove the chicks from the bator. This is my first time ever doing this and I am so nervous! I have one chick fully out, another almost out and a third pipped. The rest are kind of rocking a bit, or maybe my eyes are buggy from staring at this bator for so long! I am just curious when the...

    Alright, I've bred my EE roo...

    who has supposedly hatched from a blue egg. Does this mean he carries the blue egg gene? Also, I've bred him to my brown egg layers, will I get olive egg layers in return or even a green or blue colored egg? I'm curious about this-I'll admit I wasn't even thinking about this possibility when...

    Dilemma.....what do you think?

    I've got a roo with my girls, you'd think he'd be busy enough with all 22 of them that he'd leave my poor EE girls alone! Not a chance, he has stripped their backs and whatever's-left the other girls finish for him! Soooo, due to my recent mishap with online ordering (waiting for a new debit...

We don't have the money for the Brinsea I want, but TSC has still air LG's for 41.99 and I thought what the heck-instead of flowers that die......

    Holy....Chocolate Wyandottes @ Sandhill Preservation-too cool!!

    Wyandottes Assorted Wyandotte Bantams: Chicks $3.00 each (15). Wyandotte bantams are unpredictable in their laying habits and the supply is never as good as we would like. We will try to include 2 or 3 varieties when 15 chicks are ordered. Assortment, as always, is our choice. All lay pale...

    For all you egg shippers out there-check this out!

    Hi there, I was doing a little research on incubators and came across this site for shipping eggs/chicks. I know a lot of you have had problems with eggs breaking and such, I thought this was such a neat idea and thought I'd share. If this has been discussed before, whoops! There's some neat...

    Confused-what else is new?!!

    Alright, I've read some posts of people using alfalfa pellets in their chickens diet to increase the orange in their yolks in the winter time. This is something that I would be interested in doing, but pellets or cubes? I have horses also and I use the cubes (roughly 2" square) this time of...

    I have a quick question,

    Is it possible to buy a half dozen eggs or full dozen of 2 different breeds? I am looking into getting an incubator (dh is buying it for me for x-mas!) and I just wanted to start small. I don't have a ton of room where I live and was curious if anybody would do this. I see all the time that...

    Well....the girls got 'em...darn it!!

    http://ucanr.org/freepubs/docs/8162.pdf I noticed one of my pullets vents looking a little raggedy and just thought it was a case of diarrhea (if only!) so I picked her little butt up and picked through her feathers, lo and behold I found some clusters clinging to her feather shafts! Ugh...

    Spot cleaning eggs?

    Yep, just like the subject line says. I do not wash my eggs, I just wipe off with a slightly damp paper towel the poo or dirt that is on there, gently. Is this acceptable? I know about the bloom and all, but neighbors and friends would freak if I left the poo on the egg! Your thoughts...
