    Hello, all but one of your cichlids died? Was it in one day? That's kinda odd, I had 5 juvenile Malawi cichlids that died when I bought them and fed them new food. Be aware that pellets are more prone to carrying bacteria and disease that can wipe out a community tank instantly. Especially if...

    I am going to re-winterize the vents in the roof for next winter (this year a vent got clogged by snow) going to get a barred rock roo and try incubating. Move the pullets from the brooder pin to the coop, repair the brooder pin. Gotta move my compost pile an acre (lot more than you think)...

    They're adorable! Sorry about your hens. Predators are an issue for me since some heavily wooded areas are bordering my property. I'm pumped as well! Spring better come fast! I also have a long list of stuff to do.

    Awesome! I almost have everything I need for mine. All I need is to drill some vent holes and build in a window, but I gotta run to the hardware store for some replacement saw parts. I feel like a kid on Christmas day when it comes to building stuff and experimenting, trying out all the new...

    That what I'm thinking too!! Because of section 8, he cannot get in trouble. I think it will be the retailers own fault if someone finds out.

    No probs. I found the site because I wanted to sell eggs, and fresh produce at my local market. That was the site my market referred me to. Couldn't do it though, because I had to pay a tax per eggs and a yearly fee to sell the eggs (and an official has to inspect the chickens and coop, which...

    I don't have a huddle box, but having openings at the top of the boxes will keep moister out of the boxes, humid air rises. I've been planning to get a roo for quite some time and see if I get any fertile eggs. I dont order fertile eggs, I only do local. Who says I'm going to try to sell The...

    Hey everyone! Earlier today I posted about how I might get a barred rock roo and try to incubate some fertile eggs in the spring. I did all my research and I figured why not give it a go? I figured that as a budget, I will only spend money on a thermometer, humidifier, starter feed and feeder...

    I have to agree on the crazy coloring, but I think it's pretty cool.

    Egg laying

    My Hens went through a longer molt than normal last year. They didnt lay eggs for about 2 months. I was worried that they were done done with laying, but noticed they started laying again when they reached the end of their molting period. Nothing to be too worried about. Especially if your hens...

    Welcome to BYC! Glad you found this thread! Currently thinking about getting a rooster for my barred rocks in the spring and seeing if I can get some to hatch in the summer. In my past 3 years of chicken farming, I haven't done incubating before. Is it worth a try? Does the roo have to be...

    You can sell your eggs to him, but it is illegal for him to sell them at a farmers market because your chickens have to be certified. If they were certified by the gov, it would be legal. But that means a yearly fee and tax for every egg sold. The Indiana egg law stinks, :( I sell most of my...

    In need of someone to talk to... I need advice.

    The first time isn't certainly the best as counselors are trying to get as much information about your situation. Usually counselors ask questions to get a better understanding of your background, as that plays a role on why you came for help and knowing who you are. She might also ask questions...
