Forced air isnt that much more than still air. Spend a little more and you wont regret it.

Dont know why the arent hatching, but do yourself a favor and get a circulation fan for your incubator. It will make a world of difference in your hatch percentage.

And you need to be dispatching the skunks you catch also. They will go after chickens, chicks, and eggs. They are also notorious rabies carriers.

I raised parrots for over 20 years. At one time I had 50 pairs. I stand by my statement.

Never, never let that bird on your head. Height, whether in a tree or on your head is the dominate position in the bird world. Dont let her be dominate over you.

Im 65 and just got my first ar 5 years ago. Since then Ive added another in 5.56.and a 6.5 grendel. The are a blast to shoot. All my bolt gun are "safe queens" now.

At 2 days shes still living on the absorbed yolk sac. She will start eating in the next day or two.

Thats me too until I saw an ad on craigslist Corpus Christi for silver crested. His chickens didnt look too good to me anyway.

Is a silver laced polish and a silver crested polish the same bird???

Got some production reds hatching right now. I dont incubate much anymore. I usually take eggs to my daughter. She has a GQF cabinet.

I like the idea of developing each line before combining any of them. We have 2 trios of one line to work with until any chicks mature. That is if any eggs I bought hatch. Thanks for all the info.

I fully understand you doubts and concerns. No culls will ever be sold. They will probably end up as food for some of the other animals. She has several exotics that eat meat and a chicken will feed several pens. Im sure that there will be pretty of chicks/chickens that dont make the grade and...

Do not consider this as a slam in any form, but we are basically a ranch family and our first rule is "never fall in love with our animals." We will put in the time and effort to breed and raise the best possible. If, after that money cant be made then they will be sold. Not gonna try to get...

Wow, took me 2 days to read thru this forum. Lots and lots of useful info. My daughter bought 2 trios from a local. The hens are all black and look pretty descent. Both roosters have mulberry combs. She also picked up 8 chicks at Lollies las week, then had a bad storm at her place and lost 7 of...
