    Fowl Butchering Class in Northern California? Teachers? Mentors?

    I've been googling for an hour, and cannot find any classes. I would really like to learn hands on, insteading of reading about it. I currently raise show/egg chickens, but want to process my own meat chickens. Thanks in advance for any info!

    What do you use to take your chickens to a show? Crates?

    Hi, newbie here. What do you use to bring your chickens to show? Dog crates? Any tricks on what to bring to the show? Do I need to bring my own shavings and cups?

    How long can the hatchlings stay in the bator? waiting for one more

    I stayed home from work to watch hatch tv on day 18 :)

    I know, nothing going on! This is my first hatch - I've had to throw out quite a few - non fertile or scrambled by the Post Office. But this morning I saw one guy rocking and rolling in lockdown! So, I'm sitting there like an idiot on day 18 - I haven't even taken a shower yet or eaten today...

    How do you keep the eggs warm while candling?

    Do you take them all out at once - so you only open the top one time? I'm terrified of them getting cold! and, yes, this is my first time! I've searched all the candling posts, (I think), but I need the dummies version, step by step

    I did a search here, but don't see anything recent. I've done a google search, with no luck. I guess it needs locks for the door and a humidity pan. Thanks for any info!!

    Newbie very upset - the local "bird lady" yells/need encouragement

    She says the Hovabator I ordered is JUNK and that I'll kill all my eggs........ I've read so much on here, and I ordered the Hovabator with the turner and the fan and the thermometer/hygrometer. I've read that people have used these successfully.
