We are supposed to pick up Milkshake on Monday. All the owner knows is that they bought Milkshake from TSC about 3 years ago. They dont know breed or gender. Milkshake will be a pet, but may also be used for "meat rabbit" breeding, we arent sure yet.
So, is Milkshake a buck or a doe? And...
We are trying out a few different options for meat birds this year. We've got a few CXs and we are getting a "heavy assortment" that we plan to raise the roos for meat. I want to make the dual purpose heavies a tractor to keep on the area we plan to turn into another garden next year, so they...
DS picked this chick up from TSC. I just glanced at the sign because I told him he could pick out whatever chick he wanted. It said (i thought) Breed of the Week- Dark Brahma, but once I looked at the chick, it doesnt have feathered feet/shanks. So, what is this chick? Some of the other...
I have some chicken, turkey, and guinea eggs I want to hatch. Problem is I only have one incubator. I was looking online and it seems that the guinea and turkey eggs have the same requirements. Chickens only need less time, but same temp/humidity.
So, question is.....Can I put them all in...
This is our Roo. We got him last year, and he was (we think) about 1yr old. I cannot for the life of me remember what breed he is. Thanks for the help.

I have two questions:
1. I made a "faux egg" (plastic egg with a water balloon inside) that I stuck the probe in. It is showing 99.3 with the light on. But, the air temp inside the bator is showing 102. Is this ok, or do I need to adjust something?
2. My temp drops to around 98.7 before the...
I just built a homemade 'bator, and got it up and running to make temp adjustments. I think I would like to build a seperate hatcher to put them in on day 18. I have a 10 gallon aquairium that (unfortunatly) has the bottom broke out of it. So, could I use this as a hatcher/brooder? Maybe...
Doe anyone know about the Top Hatch Incubator from the Welp Hatchery? It doesn't have a brand or model number, so I'm not sure if I can find any reviews of it. I am a beginner and don't want to spend tons of money, and I like the idea of easy cleaning and non styrofoam. Anyone tried this...
I bought three of these as a straight run at TSC. The tag was assorted and the workers didn't know what they were. Too cute so we got them anyway. Any ideas?
I have three turken chicks that are almost 6 weeks old. All three are brown with red skin. What colors should the legs be? One's legs are pinkish, one's is a bluish purple color, and one's is a greenish gray color. I bought these from our local TSC, so I assume they are purebreed. Any ideas...
