I have a plastic tray, like an organizer bin or dishpan, in each nest box, with 2” shavings. It’s super easy to check. And if an egg breaks, they’re easy to remove and clean up. The hens seen to like the extra coziness it creates. And while you’re checking bloodwork - make sure they test hormone...

We have an egg sign out front, dorm size fridge on the porch with an egg sign, honor system. When the last eggs are purchased that customer removes the fridge sign so others driving by realize it’s empty.

Connecting with egg customers was a problem until we put a dorm fridge on the front porch. When we have extra, we put out an "EGGS" sign, and an honor jar with change in the fridge. When neighbors drive by they know there are eggs in the fridge. When someone purchases the last dozen, they take...

I have a dorm fridge on the front porch and an honor jar. If I have extra eggs I put up an "EGGS" sign and people driving by know there are eggs in the fridge. When someone buys the last dozen, they take the sign down. Looking for a winter solution... this year we've had below normal temps and...

Nice visit with Cynthia today - she shared her Silkie babies with me - my first!! They are adorable! Two have beautiful crowns.

Cynthia, I have a broody I separated today intending to put chicks under tonight. Only two hatched. I don't want to tend only two! Lisa, you have a beautiful flock and beautiful eggs!! Love the one you got from Cynthia - it looks like a sheep dog chicken! Do you have any fertile eggs?

Of course we want to see your success!

Using the washing machine ended up being an extra hassle - but DH was enamoured with the red-neck-edness of the washing machine and persisted. I would suggest making sure the space for feathers to drain from is big enough so that you can wash them out with the hose and not have to pull the...

Hi all! I'm returned from the south, getting moved back in to my house, barn, and coop. What a mess! Looking for some hatching eggs to brighten my days... Anyone have or know of source for Blu/Black/Splash Ameraucana or other nice blue eggs, Salmon Faverolle, and Black Copper Marans hatching...

I use two incubators... Because I have two. I first got Farm Innov, was not happy with its lack of consistency, but it was not expensive, and was available locally. When I got Hovabator, it was very easy to keep on temp and regulate humidity. Now I use Hovabator for the first 18 days, and keep...

I'm selling this same Thimbleberries Pansy Park quilt kit with the pattern set, if interested. It includes the pansy print wide back.

Anyone else in south eastern Utah - between Kanab and Page, AZ?

Duplicate. Just learning Mobile.

I almost forgot! (A bit distracted.) Great incubator! It's so fun to create something and have it work like you planned.

Thanks bird-man. He enjoys the sport fish - he hatched Tiger Muskie last year, the first time it had been successful in Utah. He's working with several endangered species at Wahweap also. If you get to Lake Powell to fish, check out WaynesWords.com. Wayne is the biologist for Lake Powell and...

Thanks Sphinx :)

Thanks Whitney, Cynthia, and Lisa. :) This is an adventure and I'm trying to have a good attitude. I enjoy watching your flocks progress!

Thanks Diana - I knew you would know! My brother has been staying with me and will stay on. Parents have their house on the market, and if it sells they will move in too, and neighbors who caught chicken bug might still use the barn. We'll be back and forth some, so if you need a chicken train...

You guys are having a great time hatching chicks! The bug is contagious, but I'll have to resist for now. I'm temporarily moving to Wahweap, where Hubbie is now the assistant manager at the Utah State Fish Hatchery there. I've gotten a job offer and am moving stuff down, including chickens! It's...

I started with the CAL Ranch Farm Innovator - the results were dismal. The foam is not dense and the lid fit poor so I couldn't keep the temp steady. I ordered the Hovabator Genesis online with the digital temp control and LOVE it. It's easy to use, returns to temp quickly, easy to regulate...
