    I had to.

    I couldn’t help myself, I had to set some chicken eggs. I got some eggs from my sister and brother, RIR roosters and a speckled Sussex rooster, a lot of the hens are crossed, some are pure. Black australorps, leghorn/RIR, Wyandottes and a few more? I have 44 set in two NR 360’s and I will set...

    Quitting quail.

    As much as I love hatching and raising them I decided to quit growing quail, I’m just too worn out to take care of them every night. I thought I could have a market for live birds and the eggs, but it never materialized, even after I knocked the price down. I was advertising very fertile jumbo...

    Cortunix white, corturnix wild cross

    A few months ago I acquired some quail from a co worker of my son, I think it was 14-15, the guy said most are hens with just 4-5 males, it was the opposite, with just 5 hens the rest were males, there was a white one that was crippled, he said that she still lays eggs, I was feeding on day and...

    Speckled Sussex

    For some reason I like the looks of this breed, so I ordered 15 chicks from Meyer hatchery, they should be here this week. Has anyone ever raised this breed? From what I understand they are a dual purpose breed, having a decent body size and a good egg layer.

    Ayam Cemani

    New incubator came in today

    I have two NR 360 incubators, I decided to try the maticoopx 30. I ordered it through Amazon and it didn’t take but two days delivered. It’s very easy to set up, I put two digital thermometers in there and it didn’t take no time for it to get up to temp. The two thermometers are ready what...

    After having excellent hatches out both of my NR 360 incubators, I had a bad one, I thought it might be the temperature fluctuations, so I put a thermometer in there this morning after cleaning it, when I hit the turn buttons it acted like it didn’t want to turn, I went to town and bought...

    New Hampshire reds

    My Son was wanting a couple of RIR roosters, I was at TSC today and they brought in some NHR’s straight run, what I read about them sounds good, especially for me because I’m wanting meat birds, he’s wanting eggs, then I hatch the eggs, has anyone had experience with these for meat production?
