    Hovabator genesis 1588 great hatch

    Can you tell me what your temp and humidity levels were? Also, did you open it to take out any chicks before all of them were hatched?

    Chicken wire on the top. There is shade under the coop but I might add some to the run too.

    FFA Project

    My daughter is keeping her hens at school as well. She checks on them everyday and we go by there at least one time on the werkends. We will bring them home during the Christmas holidays and then take them back.

    FFA Project Coop

    I'm adding another nest box and it will be beside the other one. The door drops down for access to the eggs and it is held secure with two latches.

    Considering Meat Birds

    I have egg layers and thought about raising a few meat birds. I have already read that you need a brooder as with egg layers. How long do they normally stay in the brooder and what kind of enclosure do you put them in after brooder time is over with? Is a fenced in area okay, if it has some...

    BOs, RIR or SLW?

    Thanks for all the responses. This forum is great!! Can anyone give me an idea, as far as egg production, what I can expect from Buff Rocks, Delawares and Golden Laced Wyndottes? I would assume the GLW and SLW would be similar.

    BOs, RIR or SLW?

    Buff Orpingtons, RIRs or Silver Wydottes. Of the three, which one is considered the better egg layer? I have five of each and due to coop size and run, I have to downsize. I would like to keep the best egg producers. It will be about another month before they start laying, so I don't know...

    BOSS, how much and how often?

    I have heard a lot about feeding BOSS (black oil sunflower seed). Is is the same thing you buy for cardinals? How often do you give it to your birds and at what age is it safe to give. Is it more of a treat?

    Peck attack

    I had a similar incident. I got 10 Barred Rocks, 5 GLWs, 5 Buff Rocks, and 5 Delawares. Some of the Barred Rocks were pecking at the eyes of the Buff Rocks and Delawares. They did not peck at the GLWs. I put them the Barred Rocks in another brooder. I think they were pecking at the Buffs...
