.....and turkey . Already hatched a dozen( bourbon reds, and mutts and midget whites) and I have a BR hen sitting on 18 eggs. There will be birds everywhere!
I know. I used to have some years ago.i didn’t he would get that many though. Good thing we have space to build plenty of coops . We live on six acres now.
He was bugging me to get quail eggs. Okay, so I get him a dozen jumbo coturnix eggs. He didn’t tell me that he ordered 60 eggs. Some jumbo wild and jumbo white. Still not that scary . Today the eggs arrived..They put 30 extra eggs in . 90 eggs in addition to the 12.. I wasn’t planning on that...
Bought a dozen midget white turkey eggs at a swap meet last month...or so I thought. Started to hatch today,lost one that was midget white just after hatch. So I am currently left with this little guy. Pretty obviously not a MW or bourbon red which are also in the incubator.
My husband already has the next set of eggs lined up. Once everything is hatched and the bator disinfected he wants 5 dozen jumbo quail eggs in there. What incubator are you using? Mine is a off brand Chinese model with turner and forced air. *Pic taken before I added the chicken eggs
18-20 eggs seems to be the number they are usually aiming for. I have a broody bourbon red right now. She started sitting on a mixed breed clutch with turkey and chicken eggs. Then the neighbor two doors down found a nest of my other hen in her flower bed. I ended up taking the mixed clutch and...
Got my new 32 egg HHD incubator today. Set it up ...and since I am a sucker I already bought eggs at a swap meet yesterday. Also had some from my own girls. 12 midget white eggs and 11 bourbon red ( one had a crack) . Hope my girls and Roger are fertile, as they are just a year old and it’s...

A pygmy will still need a dog house to sleep in, they love to climb on the and will seek cover in them .. please don't use a rope or tie out, they could strangle themselves or get loose, I prefer portable electric fencing ,,,,, predator? YES!!! I have a coyote problem and he...
I am seeing some Wyandotte - silver laced maybe?, two easter eggers and they black one with the white spot on the head, could they be barred rock? THey are all supposed to be female- it was the Ideal surprise special. THe really light one I am pretty sure is a Wyandotte.
i attach mine first stapling them to the frame with 1/2 in staples. Then I take furring strips or 1/2 thick strips cut from the skinny side of a 2x4 place them over and secure then with 1 1/2 in to 3 in nail depending on the frame.
