    A Bielefelder Thread !

    Hey everyone, so this is an incredibly long thread and I don’t have time to look through a lot of it. I am relatively new to Bielefedler’s Tha k you so much! I’m going to check these out! My two cocks that we picked to keep for breeding are the one I’m most weary about. One will eat cautiously...

    A Bielefelder Thread !

    Hey everyone, so I am relatively new to Bielefedler’s and wanted to know if anyone had ever dealt with an aggressive cock/rooster from this breed. I know that they are supposed to be a docile breed and so far I haven’t had any issues, but wanted to give some background as to why I’m asking. I...

    Luikse Vechter aka Liege Fighter Thread

    Mine was about 10 months, but she also matured in the fall/winter so I also feel like that delayed it a while too. I live in Southern Texas and quite a few of my hens (non-Liege) will lay all winter.

    VERY Aggressive Rooster: Please Help!

    I am definitely in the same boat here! I have a German Liege Fighter that is about a year old now. I didn’t have any problems with him until I moved out of the city and into the country (I had very awesome neighbors as I tried to keep him on the down low until moving time). But my new neighbor...

    Harris Farms Nurture Right 360 Incubator is AMAZING!

    Do any of you have problems with the very center piece rusting? I’ve only used this for three hatches and wouldn’t expect any rust at this point. Do you think this is something I should reach out to the manufacture about and/or do you have any suggestions to remove the rust? Also I added some...

    Comment by 'jordynm' in article 'Top 50 List Of What Chickens Can & Can't Eat'

    What about scrambled eggs? I am about to treat my girls for parasites while they are molting and laying minimal eggs and I heard that the extra protein in the eggs can help them through the molting process, then their eggs won’t go to waste after treatment.

    Not sure if anyone is actually following along, but all 11 that made it to lockdown hatched! The last one was an assist that was a *little* early, but I stopped the bleeding and seems to be doing okay so far. SEVEN males and four females (they are Bielefelder’s)!! 🤣🤣🤣

    Six hatched so far! One is getting ready to zip, one more is pipped, and 3 of them with nothing yet. Still about 14 hours away from official day 21, but I’m trying not to get my hopes up in case they don’t hatch.

    I just looked again and the pip is definitely at the opposite end of the air cell. 👎👎

    Harris Farms Nurture Right 360 Incubator is AMAZING!

    You’re seriously amazing, thank you! I used a syringe to get as much of the water out as possible and the ports themselves are completely dry, but I didn’t think to use a paper towel or something absorbent. That’s also a great idea about the sponge! Pointing the fan into my closet has brought RH...

    Harris Farms Nurture Right 360 Incubator is AMAZING!

    I CANNOT get my humidity to come down during lockdown and I am in a full panic about it. The highest I’ve seen it was 77-78% and that’s taking ALL water out of port A and B and vent fully open. I just opened the closet door and pointed a fan in there, but I don’t know if that’s the right answer...

    How do y’all arrange your eggs during lockdown? I kinda just spread them out evenly throughout the incubator, but it makes me a little nervous because I know I have some colder spots in the incubator. I went into lockdown today (day 17 with shipped eggs). Started out with 19 eggs, pulled 3...

    Harris Farms Nurture Right 360 Incubator is AMAZING!

    So I found that some of the air cells have barely changed and some were bigger. Every single egg has a saddle air cell from shipping, so I’m not sure if they will follow the same growing scale as an egg with a normal air cell. I’m not sure if I should adjust the humidity or not at this point...

    Thank you so much!!! I had full intentions of candling on day 7 and I just couldn’t find the time. 😩😩

    Harris Farms Nurture Right 360 Incubator is AMAZING!

    So I have my first set of eggs (EVER) on day 9 (today) in the incubator. I forgot to add water to the port last night after I was already in bed, but the Govee I have inside said it was around 47% humidity and I thought it would be okay overnight. This morning it was at 22% and completely dry...

    Storing Eggs in Hot Climate (HELPPPP!)

    Hey everyone! So I live in Southern Texas and am really struggling on ideas to store fertile hatching eggs, mostly with the temperature of the room. My AC is kept between 73-75 degrees and I live in a manufactured house, so no basement or garage that provides cooler temperatures (between the...

    Why would it be off if it’s in the inside ring? I put one on the inside and one on the outside and they are both off from what the incubator is set too.
