    Most Expensive Chicken In The United States & The Most Sought After Breeds We Don't Have In America

    @junebuggena And that's where I start to get lost: "They aren't making much money off of it" When you have a chick that costs $100 - and say you have 10 hens shooting them out - call it 50 chicks a year. That's 500 x $100 = $50,000 a year from 10 hens (I know this is assuming that nothing...

    Most Expensive Chicken In The United States & The Most Sought After Breeds We Don't Have In America

    @dheltzel I wasn't questioning the economics of why a chick makes sense to buy at a high price point.... The answer isn't rocket science. I bought a pair from GFF for $3K when Cemani's were relatively new. Trying to get a list of what the most expensive chickens in the U.S. (CURRENTLY) are...

    Looking For High End Hands Off Incubation - After Disaster With Low End Incubator

    Sumi: Can you link me to it. The one you're talking about sounds extremely promising. So, manages heat, manages humidity - Just stop the turning before hatching - That sounds perfect for me. As an aside - saw you're an admin - was wondering if you have any insight on Ayam Cemani -...

    Looking For High End Hands Off Incubation - After Disaster With Low End Incubator

    I'm looking for something that monitors temperature and humidity(if needed?) without me having to use external tools (like putting my own heat gauge in there). Does this do that? I'm really looking for something that's plug and play... Turns the eggs, I can make sure the heat is right, on a...

    Looking For High End Hands Off Incubation - After Disaster With Low End Incubator

    Dealing with Ayam Cemani's (extremely expensive chicken) -- Tried to incubate them in a $50 incubator from the local hathery... All that I was monitoring was the heat and I can't say that the thermostat that I used was entirely accurate, I'm more keen to say that the humidity was an issue...

    Adding Water & Humidity Question REG. Little Giant 9200 Incubator

    So, I need to: 1. Buy a hygrometer 2. Put the hygrometer in the incubator? And then maintain those humidity levels of course during the days mentioned? For now: I put the eggs in and added water to fill the lower water wells - was this an incorrect move or is that an arbitrary question since I...

    Using a Little Giant 9200 Egg Incubator with the matching egg turner. I'm unsure of two things: How much water do I add, how often do I add water? Secondly: How important is humidity to monitor? How do I monitor humidity?

    Ayam Cemani's - The Worlds Most Expensive Chicken - A Way To Retirement? Or An Overpriced Chicken On

    Quote: I personally find it to be an odd-hobby for people with too much money. I've owned most exotic breeds, then after the raccoons decided to eat all of them, gave up on chickens. Now that I've moved back to my ranch, I was so bored being out in the country that I decided I had to get "the...

    DarkBlueSpace - One of my two AC hens lays 1 egg per day. Also, another breeder said - that half of his AC's lay once per day. While others lay only once every 2-3 days.

    Ayam Cemani's - The Worlds Most Expensive Chicken - A Way To Retirement? Or An Overpriced Chicken On

    For those already knowledgeable about AC's and FM birds ~ how extensive is culling? Let's say, how many out of 100 do you have to cull out? And, out of those 100, what % are viable for sale at what x% rate of usual? I have heard that 5% of AC hatchlings turn out to not have FM.

    Ayam Cemani's - The Worlds Most Expensive Chicken - A Way To Retirement? Or An Overpriced Chicken On

    They are completely black: black feathers (tint of green), eyes, comb, feet, nails, mouth, meat, bones - dark(er) blood, but cream colored eggs. They're so expensive because they're so new to the states, my understanding is once every few years people go crazy for a new breed, then it works its...

    Ayam Cemani's - The Worlds Most Expensive Chicken - A Way To Retirement? Or An Overpriced Chicken On

    I had a long talk with Ricky White, who is one of the people who is friends with Astin Marie, and got her Ayam Cemani's originally before Greenfire Farms created the media buzz that led to AC's being $2,000 for a juvenile pair. I've tried to conduct a somewhat extensive research around AC's and...
