    out of it a bit.

    Well, been gone for several weeks, after the wrong thermometer on the incubator disaster I spent a couple weeks in the hospital, slicing and dicing time, all over, now just working past the ouchies. It will be. Mary, get the boy a $400 stick model and tell him when he can shift perfect he can...

    It is somewhat slow, but well worth reading right from the beginning of this thread. Especially Sigrids article with the link early in the thread. My personal preference for a flock is with two roosters, either free ranging or switching hens and roosters if penned in small groups. I try to...

    It beats a wheelchair or walker if they can just get it motivating.

    I have had it on two of mine, and I know the strain was pure from Sigrid. I would look very askance at anyone who says they shouldn't have it, or most other traits. We have a treasure house in the gene pool, that is a wrong attitude for the breeds welfare. Save the genes, don't discriminate...

    No hens here so no broodies, just the eggs in the hatcher due for Sunday but I have always had early hatchers so will be watching from Thurs on and expecting many on Sat. We shall see what will be. Counting down the days.

    A seconding on the strangers. Our world has major changed. Take precautions. A tough dog is one of the best. Myself I have a CC permit but have a 9 mm on the hip anytime I have a doubt. Plus a dog. When I was a kid we never thought of such things. There never happened, super rare. Now not...

    Good luck. I have only had shipped eggs other then 8 of my own , so far so good. I candled 3 of this lot and they showed veins, I didn't want the top off longer so called it good. I only had one bad hatch from shipped eggs and it was cold, and the eggs were in the carriers car for hours and I...

    If this hatch is like past Icelandic ones I expect to see piping about a week from this eve. We shall see, no spikes or power outs, a major plus for broodies. But so far so good. I am really looking forward to them hatching, then the fun begins. Let the good times hatch !

    Hiya I miss broody hens, big time, Icelandics at their best ! I am thankful for my incubator but would prefer a couple broodys. On the downhill now, about ten days to go. Turn the turner off about the 25th, sooner if I see piping, mine have always been early birds. Today putting the...

    Barred Owls are neat, I had a pair nest in an old wooden silo on my barn, never had any kittens missing, or adult chickens, my chicks were pen raised. They were very good neighbors, and good mousers, I like them. We rarely saw one in the daytime unless I climbed up the ladder to look at the...
