BIN Ship week of 7/3. Silkies are laying very well, but I don't need to set any more for babies right now. THIS will be a mix of what is available and 12+ means extras when available. I do anticipate being to include extras but no guarantee of this. It depends on the hens. As of today all pens...
Please be on alert. Folly's place has very solid recommendations. One summer we lost over 30 hens to fox. Although our losses have been less since then, they still occur even in super safe areas. Fox dig under, and climb over. They will take on pet rabbits, cats and small puppies and...
No need to reply, I think I was just trying to think of any and everything. Looks like you have super consultation here from folks (not patting my back but others) I will follow this to learn for myself as well. There is a good brief two page article from your area on blackhead disease. We...

Agree gizzard looks normal. Amount of Yellow seems fine. There is a white spot on the liver if this is roughly 2 cm ...also Looks like one egg beginning to form. Was she born on your farm or brought in as adult/youngster? How did the lungs look? Was there any ascites in legs for the bird...
First I hope that s/he has dysplasia or vitamin deficiencies. There are ways to make a splint for her. As well as insure that she has easy access to food and water. Also, there is a 2015 publication that addresses some issues with the Mareks vaccine. It is unique vaccine as it does not...
I haven't read every post, but remember Duck eggs take longer to hatch than chicken eggs, like lower temp in incubator and much more humidity! We usually mist duck eggs before putting them in the incubator. Hope this helps and have a blessed day!
Your roosters are beginning to be active with the hens and making fertile eggs. That was their mating activity. Two roosters even growing up with each might become combative. Depending on the amount of space they have and their breed. I would carefully evaluate and watch them to be sure that...

Home processing of a pig is not the way to go..at least for us. We had pigs for several years, raised and sold babies for a while and then we decided time to stop all this after loosing a chunk of the garden designed to sell at market to the piggies. It took about 6 hours for three guys to...
I wondered how Georgia is doing with the fires that are sprouting about. We have had a fire near our area coming from a surrounding county that apparently originated in North GA. Last night, the smell was so intense in the House that I walked about the farm at 3:00 am. Our poultry are all...
I am looking for a purebred wheaten Marans Rooster for three lonely girls. Cockerel is okay as well. I would prefer to pick up. If you are coming to the Newnan exhibit, I can meet up there as well. I'm flexible on price to pay, will negotiate depending on age, etc. Please message me here on...
Oh gracious I thought I was literate about the weather but I will have to check it out!
Apparently as I understand it we are fully under total no burn ban. It's rough rough rough. I am so glad people are helping with drilling wells, it is so incredible. We've seen lots of weather farming...
Hi, I can help you but my ladies are not as young as you have posted here. They are just now two years old but they continue to lay eggs.... If they are of interest to you, please message me on BYC or our farm e mail. Thanks and have a blessed day.

I still use a few styrofoams but find that because our household is basically unheated or unairconditioned around the clock, the temps can really swing. and I have had temps really stable and zoom in a hurry although I would usually change a wafer every two hatches. Cabinet is our mainstay I...
