    First Time DIY Bator SUCCESS!!

    Well, about 28 days ago I built an incubator out of styrofoam and duct tape. I have approx. $50 in it for the thermostat/thermometer. There were days I let it run out of water. There were days the temp swung +- 5 degrees from 99.5. I put 9 RIR eggs in and hoped for the best. I candled them on...

    Okay to give Ivomec to broody hen?

    I have a hen that is setting on a clutch of eggs. Her comb and wattles are getting pale and I suspect lice. I've dusted my other hens with Sevin. Is it okay to dust her and give her some Ivomec? Thank you. RM

    Incubating question

    I'm using a very old (20+ years) GQF cabinet incubator. My friend just hatched about 70+ quail last week with it.

    Question about Horizon Structures Coop

    I was looking at a coop on Horizon Structures website (the 8x8) and it says it is built to accomodate up to 30 birds. How can this be? If you're supposed to allow 4 sq ft/bird and an 8'x8' structure is only 64 sq ft, that only come up to 16 birds. Can some one explain this to me? Thanks in advance.
