Hi there! May I ask you where you found the crimped oats? They sound marvelous for my flock! Thanks!

What is Queeny/Miss Narsisistic thinking?> "Freida, I think you overused the hair mouse this time!"

Thank you! Last question! Where do we post the have want list? On this thread? Thanks for being so patient with the newbie!

Can someone please explain the Have/Want list process for this Spring Fling? Is it a swap too? Thanks!

To anyone in the close vicinity of Asheboro: I have a couple of extra Roos: 2 Cuckoo Marans, about 7 months old, a cockerel about a few months, a Blue Orpington, and a Roundhead. All of them pure. I'm trying to find new homes for them. If anyone would like one/all, please let me know, I would...

Hi there Home. I'm from Asheboro and I could have written this post. Lol. Ditto on mud and I'm a huge downton abbey fan. I am sick of all the nasty mud in the run and am planning to put sand down. I've ordered some new coops built and we are building up the area to be able to hold sand about...

Great! Thanks! Only who is Beth? I'm still a little new! ;)

Hi there! I've never been but am thinking about trying to go to WCA tomorrow. I'm wanting to find some pullets/hens to add to my flock: cuckoo Marans, black, blue, lavender, splash orpingtons. Any one here know if there's a chance I'd find some there? I'm in Asheboro so its a bit of a hike...

Too fun. I just put my second batch of eggs in on Sunday. I bought a dozen of 3 kinds: RIR, cuckoo marans & orphingtons . Then I put 7 of my layers eggs in there....even though I have no idea what kind the hens are or the rooster is! I've looked on this site but none really match my chickens...

Too exciting sunny skies ! Congrats!:)

Hi there! Not to disagree, but this has come up many times for us with hawks/owls etc. natural resources confirmed that we can dispatch anything that is harming our livestock/property. We just recently had hawks coming in to kill our chickens every night and set traps. This is about the...

I totally understand it! I hate it when people don't follow through on what they say, and start backing out after you've made plans. I hope he changes his mind and realizes that the hens are much happier with the roo! ;). If you lived closer I'd be happy to keep them!

It happened! I had two hatchlings yesterday ! I can't believe it. One at 10am and another around 5 pm. I left them in there until around 8 am and had the brooding area set up and varying between 99-100 on a digital thermometer. They were dry and curious when I checked them so I thought it...

Thank you both! I've had my magnifying glass and flashlights out trying to read the writing on theses the little eggs. I guess my last question is when i do install the LG fan, should I try to turn it off during lock down or is it ok to run the final days before hatch?

Cmom! Been reading through these threads and noticed how bold and easy to read your markings are on your eggs! Are you using something besides a lead pencil? I find the pencil markings can be so hard to read and wondered about something different but was afraid to. Thank you!

***typo. Should a fan for my lg!

Ok, that means there still may be hope for me yet! Thanks for the encouraging words. I ordered Alan for my LG but now I'm wondering if I should leave it out because I ordered a genesis for my next eggs and I was going to use the LG as a hatcher. Am I better to leave it still air to keep the...

Thank you cmom! You all are awesome! Should I turn them then? Or leave them be? I removed the turner on Friday.

Oops! I forgot something important. It appears as though it was not cleaned after the last hatchlings :( thinking their could be bacteria issues? And my husband set it up in our canning shed/summer kitchen....which is like a screened in porch....is this ok? Been afraid to move it since the...

May I please get an opinion? I purchased a used LG still air a week ago and my husband picked it up for me. When I got home it had eggs in it! I didn't know whether to be thrilled or a nervous wreck! They are gamefowls and were at day 13 and some at day 16 (the owner had written on the...
