Thanks! From what I am seeing the Brinsea is going to run $80 or so higher. I get into and out of egg hatching depending on my want/demand for chicks. I got the Mini for hatching a few eggs at the time but I just amazed me. My old Hovabator has been beat banged and misabused but still...

I have had a older Hovabator wafer thermostat/forced air incubator for the past ten+ years. I have hatched many of eggs with pretty good results with it. I have not hatched eggs in a year or so so I recently got a Brinsea mini advance to do small batches and got a 12 out of 12 first hatch of...

Well I did end up with a white crested Roo but was not planning on hatching eggs from him. He is a trip, but what would they end up like??

Was thinking of aluminized exhaust pipe with a covered roost. Guess I could add some extra anti climb if I need too.

Quote: Yea I have a few Dominiques and they are staying for sure!!

Thinking of building an outdoor roost for guineas and some game hens. Thought about a raised roost with metal poles do keep climbers out. I have had a couple in a tree that are doing fine but I know they are not safe by anymeans.

I got thirty mixed pullet chicks from Murrary a few months ago. I still have about four each of blue andalusias, RIR, barred rock, and black star. I would like to hatch some chicks ONE day so I am thinking of keeping the barreds and the RIR and get a RIR rooster. Figure I could have RIRs and...

Who uses it? I would like to let my chickens out more but they do not need to free range too far. Where is the best place to buy? Any hints/tips? Thanks, Scott

If running 120 power is not an option I woud do the same thing (with 12 volt bulbs, no inverter) the off the grid guys do. I would wire it with 120V wire and switches but install 12 volt bulbs and use a deep cycle battery with a solar charger. It would be aliltle pricey but it will work and be...

RIR, Black star, Blue Andelusia, and maybe a barred rock. I have a few extra of the others. Oh yea I have a few Cochin batams I may part with that are semi grown.

Think I am going to build a tractor out of steel tubing to be lighter and easier to move than wood. Figure I could anchor it with dog tie outs or something of the sort. Any input, ideas? I am a much better welder than carpenter so it makes ever more sense to me.

Need any hens?? I have a few extras that will be ready soon.

Little town called Nashville, north of Valdosta.

Since you're in GA I guess you could understand it's not as full or nice looking right now. I usually pump water in it but did not this year. Hey it may fill up now thanks to Fay!! We are getting some pretty good rain now.

The pump is 150 yards away but the holding tank is in there. I am thinking more about moving the pen further back in the yard to keep from having to try and make it too pretty. Too many options I guess. I seldom get wild fowl. When I have they did not stick around long.

I have had ducks and they were OK but the critters were hard to keep away. I HAD geese for a short time, never knew anything could crap that much!!! Probaly will get more ducks though, had a drake that would buzz my head if I did not feed them right when I got home! He would also follow me...

I have a pump house away from my house that is no longer used as storage. It is 8X8 and is finished and trimmed like my log house. Right now my pin is beside it but needs redoing. I am going to build the pen much larger and I am going to A) Build a new pen/house away from the house further...

Almost finished my playhouse coop over the weekend. Followed the directions to a "T" and did all of the ripping of boards at a friends away from home. Everything worked out well but I did have at least one revision I am passing on the Dennis. If the upright to the right of the door is doubled...

It's past eleven here in S GA and it's still 84 outside. My chicks were in the house at dark and they have been OK with the heat. I keep plenty of fresh water in the house and they were roosting at eight or so on their own. I had a problem with a critter but mine left blood so there was no...

How large was she? Snakes know what they can swallow for the most part and it would take a large snake to eat a grown hen. It is also one of they few predators that will not bring blood so it could still be a culpret.
