    Hello all, It has been ages since I have been on here. Good to see all the progress of coops and hatches. We built two new coops last summer and built some breeding pens as well. I will be breeding some French Black Copper Marans, Cream Legbars, Olive eggers and hopefully some Showgirls...

    Hi everyone...been a while since I have been on here!!! Been busy this summer building coops. I had my own dogs attack my flock this summer as well...I lost 15, 4 of which were my very expensive Cream Legbar Hens. So I just received a replacement shipment of them. They are only about 8...

    Wyoming Unite!!!!

    Hello...sorry it has been so long since I have been online....been a busy summer building coops! I tend to spend less time online during the summer...too much fun outside playing with the chickens. I have my flock down to about 84 now, but I am always on the hunt for more. I am pretty picky...

    I am north and east of Casper...out on the prairie...We maybe had four to five inches, but it has all blown away...just some drifts now and really cold. :) I did shovel out a path for my chickens to get from the coops to water and food and get some fresh (windy) air. ;) And here is a link to...

    Wyoming Unite!!!!

    The ones that are laying the eggs I got from a gal in Idaho...I actually drove there and picked up the eggs...I had such terrible luck trying to hatch my own shipped eggs. Then I also have several from a breeder in KY, Chestnut Ridge Farm. She sent me eggs, but none hatched, so I ended up...

    Yes... Here is a picture of two that I have collected this week. The brown one in the middle is just a typical brown egg so you can see the contrast.

    Wyoming Unite!!!!

    Hi everyone! I am in Casper (well not in town). I have a large flock, and no one told me they were addicting either! I started out with 18 and now I have 83. Chicken math sure is tricky!!! I have a nice mix of regular layers like red comets, cochins, brahmas, wyandottes, naked necks and...

    I have one full silkie and I love it....can't tell yet if it is boy or girl...leaning towards boy. It sure is cute though. Then I have a shizzle that I love too, but it is for sure a roo. I would love a few silkie hens in my flock just for their brooding tendencies. :) I would love to do an...

    Regarding the humidity question: I run two Brinsea Octogon incubators...a 20 and a 40...both have humidity pumps and are automatic. So I set the temp and humidity and it does all the work for me. I would assume you could just add sponges or add more surface area to whatever pool of water you...

    Do you adjust for hatching at high elevation? I have learned to up my humidity to between 55-68% during incubation and then up it even a bit more for hatching. I also don't put them on a turner until about day 4-5, if they are shipped eggs. I have also started keeping any that have a detached...

    At the moment no, they are all together in two coops. However, I none of my boys are old enough to be mating. In the spring when they are all mature the individuals I am going to breed are going into their own breeding pens that will be part of the new coop. I have 2 good sets of cream...

    I currently don't have eggs, but will in the spring. I will have Cream Legbars, French Black Copper Marans, Brahmas and some Easter Eggers. I am done with incubating until then. I have seven cream legbars that I had shipped from the MD in my garage brooder now...they are only about a month old...
