    Nurture Right 360 incubator is reading 82% humidity and its hatch day! HELP

    I can say I was totally shocked by the results of my first hatch. The only thing I did differently with the second hatch was that I did zero candling the second time. It does have an A & B chamber. The A chamber is a lot smaller (about 2.5” sq. My humidity still seemed high just using the A...

    Nurture Right 360 incubator is reading 82% humidity and its hatch day! HELP

    I have read many comments about the humidity on multiple posts/forums. I recently purchased my first incubator, it is an Amazon special. A 24 egg Sailnova with the circular egg turner. It came with a small pump spray bottle & the instructions said to mist the eggs a certain amount per day &...

    Aerial protection idea

    Amazon has aviary netting with a good selection of different sizes. My run is 40’x40’. When I was setting it up 3 years ago I purchased a 50x50 net that has 1” spacing on the holes. It was around $60 US. It was however difficult to install because the net tangles extremely easily during...

    Should I try and kill this bobcat?

    Well, I can’t really comment on this as I would prefer. The last time I even hinted in the direction of anything that might possibly be skirting the law I was strongly warned & my comment deleted. I will however say, I’m sho nuff glad that I was “Umerican” bred & born. My roots run deep & I have...

    For those who ferment: how do you handle (human) vacations?

    I have been wondering & considering fermenting. Does anyone know how long the feed will be good covered in water without refrigeration?

    At what age do you start introducing free ranging?

    If it’s a nice warm day, we try getting the chicks out starting around a week old & sitting on the ground. It’s amazing how close to you they will stay & this seems to help them get accustomed to being near us for protection even when they’re fully grown. It helps to have some chick starter...

    Should I try and kill this bobcat?

    Here on this side of the pond, some of us still believe in fixing our own problems.

    Should I try and kill this bobcat?

    If this were true, the conservationists would not have had to reintroduce the black bear, bald eagle, gray wolf, & several species of owls in the US. I know there is more but that’s just a few.

    Be careful, some may think you’re too brutal & have you sent to sensitivity training! 🤣

    Should I try and kill this bobcat?

    Seems like one might at times involve the other. I guess most people just haven’t worked as hard as I have over the years for the things that they own. If I’m asked nicely I will donate to a worthy cause but I have an extreme disdain for human or animal trying to take or destroy what is mine...

    Should I try and kill this bobcat?

    This is so true, if you’re free ranging you will definitely lose some & once the hawks & 4 legged predators find the easy meal they’ll almost never leave.

    Should I try and kill this bobcat?

    I don’t have a clue what you might know about that fact of nature called the food chain, but most predatory animals have no natural enemies that they have to worry about. If the predator population is never controlled, it becomes extremely overpopulated & will become a danger & a nuisance to...

    Rooster... Managed to attack me

    I know this may sound crazy, but… They’ve proven that dogs can sense fear. It has even been proven that the human body excretes a chemical when under stress or fear that dogs can smell. My question is, is it possible that roosters can sense this? I have a 1 year old rooster that threatens &...

    Breeding an EE Roster with Buff Orp hens

I have been putting eggs back for a hatch that I am planning to put in the incubator this week. My question is, has anyone...

    How to feed a flock with roosters?

    I totally agree. I found the pellets to be much less wasted. What helped me also was using a 5 gal bucket with the covered ports on the side. If you suspend the bucket where the feeding ports are about 20 inches from the floor it seems to work perfectly. I’ve read that it’s healthier for a...
