I live in central PA and am looking for an African gander to pair with our African hen goose. If anyone would have one to sell please let me know. I can pick up locally. Will pay a fair price.
I have a newly built incubator room. Built into our porch. My entire first hatch in the room died, humidity was uncontrollable. I have learned a few things from this that may help others. First, the humidity was very high here outside and temps over 90. This really affected my incubators ability...
Has anyone used this? Its made by incubator warehouse. I just got one and hooked it up to my little giant that has less than a week till hatch. Just wondered what everyone an thoughts are on it? I will post hatch results. I have turkey and guinea eggs in this time. Letting my chickens try...
My daughter is selling ducklings, but I have no clue how to price them. Some are runner crosses, walk like runners but because we have pekins also we know some are crosses. The others are pure Muscovy. I checked the prices at auction and they are only getting $1 or a little more for ducklings of...
I am sooooo excited, we had a room built onto our porch just for my incubators and a brooder. They just finished it today and I moved everything in. No more drafty house and temp issues now! It was my husbands idea and I couldn't be happier with it! And now I can hide from the kids too, HaHa!
I won't name the hatchery but I just got bantam chicks and standard chicks today by mail. They shipped on Friday, spent all day yesterday sitting in the USPS sorting facility and this morning when I picked them up we had 6 dead banties and 3 that are still weak. The hatchery put nothing in with...
I got 5 Lavender Orpington eggs that are going in with my eggs and some silkie eggs. I was told by the lady I got the Orp eggs from that they can be hard to hatch. Does anyone have experience hatching this particular Orpington? Any advice?
I didn't even post that I filled an incubator because I was so worried I wouldn't get a good hatch. But I am so happy to report I have two chicks out and 9 eggs pipped. After taking out the undeveloped eggs I had 30 eggs left with a few being questionable. I never got more than two chicks before...
I recently got a group of NH reds. They are in their third week with me, not sure how old they were at purchase. I am assuming they are 4 to 5 weeks old, starting to feather. Yesterday we found one laying with its head back and legs out in the star gazing position. Today another however it...
I just attended the Bloomsburg, PA sale today. We had a great time and brought home some beautiful birds! Three buff orpingtons, three Sussex, a group of young pullets, a pair of geese, a group of call ducks, a pair of mandarins, kahki Campbell babies, and three rabbits. Way more than I ever...
I have a hen that was suddenly blinded on Saturday evening. She got out of the run and was attacked by a dog and almost drowned. We pulled her from the water and her head was very swollen. Honestly I had little hope she would make it thru the night, but we wrapped her in a towel, treated her...
So I just candled my eggs the first time, day 9 of incubation. I have a mix of easter eggers and brown eggs, all hens are with my jersey giant rooster. We have 10 of 12 browns with embryos but the easter eggs I could only say for sure one out of 10. Are they harder to get fertilized eggs from or...
Hi everyone, I'm Cortney from PA. My kids and I have had chickens for years, various kinds of brown egg layers and now some easter eggers too. We have a beautiful Jersey Giant rooster who is so gentle. He's my pride and joy. We also have guineas and ducks. I just put my first group of eggs in...
