Helping a friend re-home
My friend has a Silver Polish Hatter rooster she is trying to find a home for. So if you are near Western New York and want a beautiful boy let me know. He was hatched this spring. She is going to get me a picture later.
I know she was telling him how you don't have to refrigerate eggs... Which is true but she told him to wash them!!!!!! I said " no don't wash them "!!!!!!!
I need to vent!!!! My husband aunt(also his boss) was giving a man advice on chickens and it was the wrong advice so I tried to speak up and of course she is a know-it-all and told me I didn't know what I was talking about!!! Gggrrrrr she had NEVER had chicken in her 65 years she just believe...
So I have been wondering if I could make my chickens a pond to drink from? I would like to be prepared if we lose electric! I would have it be very very shallow on the edges almost like a puddle and have the center be deep 8'+ so it wouldn't all freeze over winter. My husband suggested burying...

So I have a question/idea... My husband bought 3 dozen eggs at an auction last night and when I was making scrambled eggs this morning I noticed they were fertilized... Can I try to hatch some chicks out of these?
So I am wondering about brood lamp/heat... My chicks are 3 weeks old and are feathering out nicely I have the lamp on all day and night ( turn off for about 1/2 hour during the day) it stays between 75°-80°. It is staying about 75° in my house during the day do I need the brood light on during...
OK I need advice.... My husband and I have an opportunity to buy a beautiful house with a 20,000 sq ft 1800s cider mill in town. Currently I live in a single wide trailer in the woods... My heart belongs in the woods but buying this mill would give us a huge opportunity later in life I do not...
It is so cold here in New York! For the past week highs of 65°! I woke up this morning 47°outside!!! Gggrrr it's August not October!!! Thankful for hot coffee:)
