Golden laced Polish rooster for free. Im looking to re home as I cannot keep him. I hatched him at the beginning of april. A very good looking bird. I wouldn't mind a trade for a pullet of any breed but I really need him gone. Can send pictures via text if your interested.
I have another Golden laced rooster that I need to re home. I gave away one already and this one just started crowing. He was hatched at the beginning of April.
I have a home made brooder for sale. The tops have plastic mesh on them along with doors. They also are removable and the divider in the middle comes out. The doors on the front fold down. Very sturdy. Is around 40" x 45". I'm moving soon and need to get rid of it. I'm located in 06512...
I think my silkie is sick. His feathers are all over the yard and he wont move out of the nesting box. There are no eggs in their. Or has there ever been. The silkies don't even go in the boxes. When i cleaned the Coop the other day I put him out side. Hes walked around for a little while and...
Hi, My chickens that I hatched earlier this year just started to lay. I don't know which chicken is doing this yet. But they are laying one every day. The problem is they are laying in a little hole they dug in the pen. At first I was putting the eggs in the nest box but they still like the...
Very excited. I pulled through it. I had four eggs that were fertile and so far three are hatched. The last one, im going to leave in the bator for today in hope its a late bloomer. Here are some pics.
Hi, My first attempt at hatching chicks was a success yesterday. There is still one in the bator but the other three are in the brooder. Here are my first three silkies.
Hi, I have a Brinsea Mini that is due for a hatch in two weeks. Its small so my options are limited. When one of the chicks hatch, Isn't the chick going to knock around all the other eggs? I dont want them to be turned over after there in position. So I was thinking about cutting an egg carton...
Well here it is. Brinsea Mini Advanced with 7 White and BBS Silkie Eggs.I bought an incubator that I'm more than happy with. And will keep my hatching down to the minimum. Since it only holds 7 eggs which is good for me because I become obsessed easily. I am comfortable with the whole process...
Hi, I had a vision of a small to medium coop in my head. But I always start off small and eventually by the time I'm done go way overboard. So what Im getting at is, I originally just wanted to build a coop a couple feet of the ground with a floor area of 6x4. Then I started wanting to build a...
This is were I'm thrown off. Chicken eggs typically take 21 days to hatch. Correct. And my incubator is an automatic turning unit. It is factory set to stop turning two days before hatching. That is day 19. And everyone says stop turning on day 18. Which is it? Am I missing something?
Im a little confused. Some people say turn your eggs 2-3 times a day. Some people say the more you turn the better. And my Brinsea Mini Adv gives me a few choices of minutes in between turns. My options are between 30- 180 minutes between turns. The default is 45 min. Thats like 32 times a day...
Hi, So I ordered and incubator and I found some eggs I want to buy. But the more I read the more worried I get. Am I wasting my money. I know it varies with shipping handling and a thousand other factors but, how good are my chances with shipped fertile eggs hatching.Provided i do every thing...
Hi, I just made up a list of 10 Bantam Breeds. Ideal says they only have one ordering policy and that's not the number of birds. But the total price. They say a minimum is $25. Thats fine. Anyway I want to order 10 differnt bantam breeds from them. Are they a good breeder? And I know nobody...
Hi, I am completely new to this hobby and I fear I'm in to deep all ready. Originally i was just going to try to find some bearded silkies already hatched. But now I'm thinking of trying to buy some eggs and hatch them myself. Im am starting to look at incubators and I found this one on eBay. So...
On my quest for the best first time coop I have many questions. I used to work for a water proofing company and we did this on commercial applications all the time. You might be more familiar with the Home Depot stuff. What Im talking about is painting the bottom of my coop and up the walls a...
