Fantastic information. Going to want to save this thread!! Just got some beautiful, sweet Brahmas from a lady in Jonesborough, TN. Looking forward to expanding the line, but a newbie with the chicken genetics. This forum is wonderful.

I blend or grind up the organs, cleaned gizzards and lungs then spread on silicone sheets and dehydrate. Dog treats in stores are very expensive per pound.

The Swedish and SAY drakes had all been next to the cage with Pekin hen and drake when I got them, so they are used to being separated but in proximity of her. I’m trying to get some more hens so the drake frustration level won’t be too high. Would it help to move the boys to other side of the...

This is the TSC hen that I'd like to know if she is a Pekin or White Layer. She lays a huge white egg every day but the 1st Sunday of the month! She was a year old at the end of February. If this photo doesn't show her well enough, I'll take another tomorrow. Thank you!

Brilliant! Thank you so much. Yes, they are different breeds - wound up with Pekin, Silver Appleyard and Blue Swedish drakes.

With chickens and probably ducks, it's best to change "roommates" at night, right? (Although it doesn't seem like ducks they sleep much at night. The camera catches them moving around a lot.)

So if a new drake is with her after the one she has been with leaves, will she potentially lay eggs alternately from both maies for the next 2+ weeks? This stuff is fascinating!

So, I only have one white duck hen laying now (she was TSC mixed lot, so not sure if Pekin or White Layer). I'm starting incubator for eggs with current drake, but have another drake in separate pen and want to raise her eggs from him also. How long after I switch drakes should I wait? (I...

In NE Tennessee I put three week old ducklings out May 17th and they were fine. Plenty of straw down in the poultry room. Had the heat lamp off in our house most of the week prior. (Keep the house cool - 66 at night). It was earlier than I wanted, but due to travel plans….

Thank you! That’s what I was thinking too.

That’s what I was thinking for two of them. I’m wondering if the other is a blue Swedish mix.

Thank you. Yes, they went crazy eating grass and bathing / preening.

I picked up these guys for free - they were covered with stinky mud so their curly tails were straight, but their voices are definitely male. What breeds do you think they are? The folks didn’t know ages but they had them a year. Thank you!

Can I please ask for help identifying this TSC mixed bag cutie also? Please let me know if I am supposed to start a new thread. thank you

Wow. Tractor Supply asked for a review, so I did. Here is the email they wrote in reply: It cannot be published to the website, but... Our staff has read your review and values your contribution even though it did not meet all our website guidelines. Thanks for sharing, and we hope to...

I am new to incubating, but have found with the three sets completed so far that I worried way too much over them. Watching the GoVee graphing the heat/humidity the NR360 had quite a lot of variation, but all turned out well. I hope you enjoy the process and have time on hatch day to pull up a...

You're absolutely right, Cluck Cluck. Definitely glad I put my GoVee bluetooth hyrometer in the Rugg. It is way off on both temp and humidity. Also, I did move bators (except the NR360 which is in lockdown with it's crocheted "sweater" on) into my bathroom where I am happy to keep it warmer...

This is so much fun! I'm 8 days from hatching. One of the 13 (my lucky number) looks iffy after candling last night, but 12 look good. I'm liking this NR360 and the GoVee bluetooth hygrometer. Will start next hatch when this one is done. I have the dehumidifier in "cellar" on a timer and it...

Walmart brand says 17.1 mg per 1 T (5 grams) ... or am I reading that wrong? If my understanding is correct, the Walmart brand is better than Bob's??? Thanks for providing your research! New to ducklings and want to do right by them.

Will do a side-by-side photo with NR360 when it arrives. Will use the same GoVee hygrometer in it when I test it out to see how it compares with temp, also. Now I can't bring myself to keep the house as warm as the Nurture Right instructions say, so do you think that may be why I'm showing...
