    Barnevelder breeders lets work together and improve the breed

    I have always wanted some Barnvelders, but they are a bit pricey. I have about 25 chickens and love to try different breeds. If the eggs or chicks were a little less in price, I would love to have some and promote the breed.

    Look at what was hanging around

    I killed seven oppossums this winter. They are clever little creatures. They found their way into my barn and killed three of my show chickens and attacked a young rooster and hen. We have also trapped 2 coons and relocated them. So far, they haven't returned. My husband took them about 30 miles...

    Pasting up?

    I usually put a little sugar in their water and feed them a little oatmeal mixed with plain yogurt. This helps with digestion and also gives them good bacteria from the yogurt.

    Incubator R-COM 20, worth it?

    I have a SURO 20 and have not had any issues. This will be my third year using it and I have always had 90-100% hatch rate. I also use a Top Hatch and a couple of the Hovabators....one still air and one forced air. I have had the least success with the Top Hatch over the years. Guess it just...

    The Wyandotte Thread

    Do any of you have any BLRW eggs for sale? I hatched out eight about a month ago and all have been snake breakfast but two. I would like to hatch some more before winter. We finally got the snake yesterday. It had a belly full of an Ameracauna chick. Hopefully, we killed the only one and there...

    Seabright chicks two weeks old just dying...

    Sometimes my newly hatched chicks get pasty butt. It is best to clean their little butts and I usually give them a little oatmeal mixed with chick starter. This seems to firm up the poop a bit and takes care of the problem.

    Baby chick with a bad leg

    I don't think it is an injury. He hasn't walked normally since he hatched.

    Baby chick with a bad leg

    I have a one week old BLRW chick that has been favoring his left leg for the past three days. Yesterday, it started peeping loudly. He holds the left foot up all the time. I have never seen this in all the baby chicks I have hatched and I have been hatching for many years. I know it must be...

    Friendliest breed?

    Cochins! They are sweet, even when broody. I have been raising them for 8 years and I just love them!

    PAINT SILKIES!?!?!

    1,004.99 USD ! I cannot imagine paying that amount for birds. But I guess if it is something you really want and can afford, go for it! I am sure the person that bought these will make their money back eventually by selling offspring and eggs. They are unusal and beautiful birds.

    Frizzle question..

    I keep my Frizzles separated so I don't produce "curley" chickens. I had a curley once that I bought at an auction. During the summer, she would lose all of her feathers! She was a naked chicken except when the weather was cooler. She was one of the best broodies I ever had and hatched lots of...

    Work Light for heat

    I use the clip-on work lights with a 100W bulb for the first week. Each week, I decrease the bulb wattage until they are fully feathered. Once they are fully feathered and the temps at night are above 50, I put them in a pen in the barn. Depending on the breed, they may have a light at night...

    Not a good hatch with my Suro 20

    I bought my Suro 20 last year and have had wonderful hatches. I also own three Little Giants and one Top Hatch. I don't think I have plugged any of them in since I bought the Suro 20. The Suro is so low maintenance and I have had 85% to 100% hatch rates on shipped eggs as well as my own eggs. I...
