I would like to add 1 large Canadian Maple syrup jar to the Chinese Auction, and a large Kombucha Mother (for making kombucha, mead, dandelion wine etc etc).
I'm going to bring pasta salad - quinoa salad and cut fruit to the food table!
I feel like I'm very behind on getting in on this! Oh well! I'm coming and I'm bringing maple syrup and homemade bread, probably more. I'm bringing a friend too, the two of us will bring items for the auction and food table.
I'm in search of awesome eggs! I'm a hatch addict. Ever since I...
I'm looking for some very special/unqiue hatching eggs (mixed breed or project). I'm a teacher at an alternative school and therapy complex, and we have a barn, the students manage the barn and I'm looking for some ultra speacial birds to fill it with. I have chickens myself, but I want...
I have a Hova-bator 1602N with an auto turner and fan. I'm not sure how much power it uses and wattage and the like, but I would like to learn (This Incubator Kit uses 110V AC power (This kit includes everything needed to use the incubator kit with 220/240V Power).
Does anyone know how I find...
My newest little babies. Just hatched a few Swedes! There are very limited numbers of Swedes in Canada right now! Thrilled to have some of my own! More will be hatching this weekend! Not only are they beautiful they're winter hardy, which is exactly what I need here in Ontario!
Just a little update! Thanks for all the advice and suggestions. I used DE for a few days and uped the anti by sprinkling a bit of Sevin on them to make sure they were cleared of any buggies. They are still in quarantine, and I'll keep it that way until mid next week. They have a small ash/dust...
I went on an egg spree and set 100+ eggs on June 22nd... they just went into lockdown last night, I'm expecting a 100 or so chicks, many many varieties!
Yes I've also heard this, I add it to my chicken's dust baths in small amounts and I've never had mite problems, I feel that wood ash, DE and "dust bath" mix do an excellent prevention job. My situation with the peachicks is that, one; I can tell they're uncomfortable and two; I'd like to get...
I used a little DE bath on them, it's only been 24 hours, I can still see them on the one's head, they seem less itchy though. I think tommorow I'll give them a bit of sevin dust. They were hatched outside, and then the peahen just stopped caring for them.
Here is one of them, I have a feeling...
I'm fostering some peachicks from a zoo, they are about 5-7 days old and they seem to have small whiteish bugs on them crawling through their feather fuzz (Not too many, but I noticed 2-3 on each after watching them for 15 mins). I'm new to keeping peafowl and I'm looking for a way to get these...
Hello!
I just wanted to share my photos of my Icelandic chicks and mixed breed chicks! They are great, very diverse personalities, unique coloration and they love to have adventures in the gardens.
I was given 4 little Icelandic chicks from a friend, and I'm in love with the breed! I've even...
