Raising Hogs in a private venue with 4 or 5 pigs is not like a commercial venture, I agree. Perhaps I have not seen a clean and healthy environment for hogs at a commercial enterprise; just what has been posted on the internet or TV. I am certain there are several well established hog farms out...

Was your message for me? Hemedinger in Dayton, TN.

Although PIGs offer a greater rate of return on the dollar when sold; they are not easy to manage. Aside from the squalor conditions they exist in, they do consume a great deal of food. Natural conditions, like outdoor pig pens are filthy and smell bad. Commercial conditions are cleaner, but...

Well understood: My broody hen just decided to go out and free-range again. When she was sitting, I put some fertile eggs under her from my sons spread and she did great in hatching them. I took them out and put them in the broody box because I did not know how they would get fed or watered so...

Now you need to incubate some eggs to see how the chicks look.

My ROO, Mr. Humpy must have flown to your place for some R&R. Wish I knew for certain what hen did that deed? Checked the girls and the all look alike, no wear and tear. I know it wasn't Margarete as she is brooding. Happy Holidays

Well its good to know I did not waste a good breakfast meal and waste a double yoke that had less than a 50% chance of hatching. MSMOWER had the same luck on 12/13/2014 as I did (see their thread) and they reported Must Be Something In Our Tennessee Water. I believe its that Red Neck Rooster...

Disappointment....only a Double in this huge egg shell. What is worse...it was a fertile egg and I could have incubated it! Shucks!

Yes...I have several Doubles, but my wife has kept the egg refrigerated for a few days now. She has not opened it yet, but I will announce the results when she dose.

She walked around after all of that as if nothing happened? That had to hurt!

You are right there! I have a big mitt for a left hand and that egg took up better than half the area. The egg next to was a grade A Extra Large size, imagine had I had a pullet egg as a reference?

Honestly, I did not know it was possible! I bet she was tired and relieved after that effort. Checked her out and she is in good shape!

Cause we just got it a day ago; I have not had the heart to check it out. Since Meg and I eat one egg for breakfast, we can probably pop that one in the pan for both of us? When I open it, I will let you know.

And she didn't make a peep!

Right! My wife said That's Gotta Hurt. That would have been a great egg if fertile. I would have incubated that one.

Just got one huge Egg, almost as big as a Baseball

As long as you have good air circulation necessary for the health of the birds, a solid enclosure is OK and may keep the Gals from cold drafts etc. Layers need 12-14 hours of light and with that said; place a Blue/Red/or White Colored 8Watt-40Watt bulb in the shelter coop. If you use over 25...

Cluckin? Hum
