I had really bad flies and here is what worked for me. Fly bags are great but remember they are an attractant and have to be paced to draw the flies away from your coops otherwise you end up with all the flies in the neighborhood. They get expensive too and really gross when the flies inside...

North Miami Beach, lots of underground chickens here.

New to this thread. I just started with seramas this yeat. My first pair is now 7 weeks old Carlitos and Guadalupe. Then 3 weeks ago I hatched little Evil , who was the only one to hatch from an order of shipped eggs. Because she was alone I felt sorry for.her and put in a newborn quail who...

I have 93 quail, 3 marans, 14 silkies in 3 coops hidden on my tiny urban Miami lot. The key is having the right neighbors and keeping them clean and quiet. I need to rehome the marans as they are getting close to crowing age and i I have 25 cornish x meaties coming this werk. Yes, we...

I had the most remarkable time Sunday night. I had set 100 quail eggs in my still air hovabator on quail rails, then moved the to a homemade hatcher Friday morning at day 14. Sunday night they started popping out faster than I could count them. I gave up counting at 80 but I think only a few...

I put 7 serama eggs on the quail tray but they were too heavy to turn so I had to hand turn them. They fit, though and I got 2 chicks.

These birds were up to 105 a couple times in my homemade hatcher[/IMG]

Unable to get the link on my clone, can you put me in for Miami- Dade

Fetal cats, racoon and hawks arr a problem here. My two coops for chicken are secure but I am not sure I can hide another big enough for Guinea, how is the noise of four of them.

Thanks everyone, I am reading the srama thread now.

By far, the best of my 3 bators is the r-com. Brinea mini is so so, Jano is better and holds more. When I recently got too many quail eggs I piled em in, will see if they hatch!

They are so tiny and helpless looking, will they be lonely with just the 2? I have alot of silkie chicks and I thought they were small! Can the seramas go in with the silkies and at what age (in house brooder not outside). Some of the silkies are 2 weeks old.

I want some as my husband is a great afficianado of pentard--french for guinea fowl-roast. How do you manage the noise and predators, assuming there are some out there. We have a great number of feral cats in the neighborhood, how protected are the guineas from them. I can build a roost for...

Hello from Miami, new to chicken keeping this year! Currently I have 3 blue splash marans in a coop, rooster and 2 hens 7 weeks old, and 17 silkie chicks 6 weeks thru 2 weeks in my livingroom brooder box. Thw silkies all get along fine and do not even smell bad since I change bedding daily. I...

I hatched my first chick today in my rcom mini and have five eggs in lockdown in my Brinsea mini wik nine more turning in a napole...sensing a trend here? All the eggs are shipped so hatch rate remains to be.seen. I did not think that one egg in the rcom was viable so I was.going.to take it...
