The chicks are digging the new TAJ MAHAL brooder. I installed a 4 inch extension on the top of my GQF brooder
this afternoon.
I have a bender that will bend chain link fence top rails . I built a 10 x 14 coop / greenhouse with it. I will try to find a Youtube link and post it.
Here is a review of a GQF 0470 Thermostat Controlled Radiant Heater that was requested. I've had the heater about a week now and really like it. It has a wafer thermostat control like the Hovabator incubators and a low voltage light to attract birds at night. The unit is well made in the USA and...
Just hatched out some standard show quality Speckled Sussex and Rhode Island Reds. I had a great hatch with 14 out of 15 hatching. I have Brown & Buff Leghorns, Black Copper Marans, Blue Cochins, Rhode Island Reds , Speckled Sussex & Cream Leg
bar hopefully hatching this week.
Sorry I just completed the trade for the eggs. I will be putting the next couple of weeks Rhode Island Red eggs in my incubator. I may have some available in a couple of weeks.
I'm about done with my test hatching and getting ready to set more eggs after Jan 1st. All of my birds are pumping out eggs in the breeding pens. I've mainly test hatched Speckled Sussex , Black Australorps and a few Exchequer Leghorns eggs that were given to me so far. I also had some...
I have 8+ show quality shipping eggs I'd like to trade. I'm looking for 8 + standard size Marans, Welsummers, Cochins , Rhodebars or something a little different in exchange. You will get some standard Speckled Sussex that are from the Overton/Reichert line along with standard Rhode Island Reds...
My Speckled Sussex breeding pen is starting to pump out some eggs. My first test hatch is suppose to hatch next Sunday. Got my new brooder put together and can't wait to hatch some big numbers this coming year :)
Looking for some Standard Cochin & Blue Maran hatching eggs if you know of anyone. Started testing some eggs from my breeding pen today and setup up my new brooder.
My neighbor has chickens also and he is retired and has a nice huge heated garage. So I bought a new GQF brooder for him to take care of the youngster when I'm at work and I'll give him some Speckled Sussex to raise also. I go to work before daylight and return when it's dark so his help is...
I'm not sure how big Walt's main rooster is but's he's quite impressive. If you would like to try and get his input on things I can PM his e-mail address to you. I think he has taken the Overton bloodline to the next level. Orpingtons are a little bigger then the Sussex and that will be one of...
They were hatched out in May by Walt . I'm not sure of the weight I'll have to get them out soon and check, Walt has got a monster rooster that is his primary breeder.
Your wings look good on the rooster. We had some almost solid white feathers show up in some of our roosters. If you have one of these feathers in a male or female pull it out and 8-10 weeks later a new feather will grown in it's place and sometimes change color to what you want. I like the body...
Sorry about the quality of this photo. This was one of my better roosters that I had back in the day. I could never get the white totally out my rooster's tail. When I went to Walt Reichert's this past weekend I noticed almost none of his roosters had this issue. He has had the Overton line for...
