Hey everyone!
I just unboxed today my brand new real 24 Borotto incubator. If you are interested in buying one or curious to know how they do, follow along on the progress of my first hatch. I have purchased Sirio as well which is the humidity control pump that Borotto offers. So far I have...
Hi there,
About 5 days ago I noticed a few members of my flock (all of them are juvenile that are sick) have started sneezing and or have their eyes closed (one or both). I separated the ones showing symptoms. Some are better than others, they go outside still and run around. The ones that are...
I have a few Blue Wheaton Ameraucana Roosters looking for homes. They were born at the end of April this year (2018). They have been hand reared, are friendly and accepting of human contact and respectful. They are located north of the GTA in Ontario Canada. Please email me at...
What do people have to say about this incubator? Worth the huge amount of money or nah? Did you have issues with any of the automated parts eg. Humidity being automatic? Was it pretty fool proof or did it need constant checking like the wafer thermostat model incubators?
I'm looking at selling...
Hi there, I have a chick purchased from a hatchery on April 28th this year. I bought 10, 5 salmon faverolles and 5 sultan. One of the salmon faverolles I noticed one day was being sort-of walked over (I had hatched a bunch of chicks as well and they were all together in a tote/brooder which was...

I have a chick who is making dramatic movements, gasping by raising its head up and gulping air. I picked it up and tried massaging it's crop to see if that was the issue and it seemed to make liquid bubble up into its mouth. Before this it was drinking on its own, however when it takes a sip of...
My polish, Podrick, had an incident at least a month ago when her and a group of youngsters (11 three month old chicks) joined my main flock (10 hens, 1 rooster). Unfortunately Podrick was almost killed, and I nursed her back to health. For a short time, she lived alone, beside the main coop...
Born January 6th ish. Polish, could be pure Im not certain. The breeder threw this one in with the rest for fun. It got picked on when I merged the babies with the adults and has now been living separate for months. I don't know how to reintroduce this chicken in with the rest and have it not...
Today we had a bad day. Last night I decided to mix my flock by opening a small doorway between the two compartments. There are 21 'babies' born Jan 6 ish and 11 adults with one being a rooster. I left it open wide enough a youngster could get into the hen pen but I thought it was small enough...
I've ordered a handful of Sultans (standard, white) which I am hoping to cross with an Ameraucana rooster. The rooster is blue Wheaton. The angle I'm hoping to go for is a fancier Easter egger type, with beards and muffs and possibly feathering on legs. I want to end up with sand coloured birds...
