Hi all,
I just need a little advice. I would like to hatch some eggs but my incubator (novital 12 egg) is damaged and I dont know where to take it for repair. I dont mind posting it but would prefer to drop it off somewhere I live in west yorkshire in england Uk. And the only problem with...
Forgot to mention I,m planning on housing between 4 and 6 hens in this coop like I said its 4ft diameter and I was planning on about 4ft high I could make it higher but I cant change the diameter as I have already started on this part of the mould.
