I tried hay i tried pine shavings and then I noticed an astro turf doormat kicking around and I cut up a few nest box sized squares and put them in the nest boxes. When it gets dirty I bang it up against a handy tree and stick it back in the box. I've been using the same one for a year and a...

I recently hatched out a pullet and two roos from some eggs I got from easttxchick. I really like them! They're a month and a bit and they seem really nice. I'm looking to get some more hatching eggs they are however not as available as many other breeds.

Would like to try my hand at capaonizing anybody out there have a nice set they'd like to sell?

I have to say I had a similar experience, first time out I got two!

Scratch that it just ocurred to me that you've filled your incubator and are thinking of buying another bator you're getting a high mark in c. math this semester

How in the world did you wind up with just one barnevelder and one barred rock? Chicken math has not descended on you yet?

It's good to hear his genetics are so highly thought of, and he's only a couple of hours away on the way to my sisters house.

I have two hens I hatched from Christina Ledfords hatching eggs and was wondering about the Johan lines you're talking about, would that be Johan Achterburg from CT? I was hoping to visit his farm and get some eggs from him.

Yes if you become proficient at predator control you can then use the bow for controlling the deer population as well. Nothing like venison backstraps for a lean and healthy meal. They can be quite pesky to the garden left unchecked.

I'd try an electric fence first, coyotes can be one of the most difficult animals to trap, in part because anything used to bait a trap for a coyote is more likely to catch a lot of other less wily animals first!A skilled archer with a compound bow might have a good chance with one however after...

sounds like a job for someone with a compound bow don't suppose you'd know a hunter who would help with your predator problem?

I have a coop and run in a fairly thickly settled small town. Close neighbors have had daytime visits by yotes killing and taking free ranging birds. My run has a solar charged fence and in the two years since getting the fence I haven't lost a bird. So far fences work. Plus there's the added...

I went looking for the welsumer contribution to barnevelder genetics and found the reverse, there's barnevelder genetics in the welsumer breed

I've seen that also I think maybe it was on feathersite
