Thank You. I've been studying those styrofoam ones out tonight. Probably go a step up and get one with the auto turner and forced air. Looking hard at the Hovabator 2362E Turbovator... One or two successful hatches should turn out enough pullets to get me going. Last years purchase gave me...

I'm thinking about getting a small incubator. My Rhode Island Red Bantam pullets (6) have begun laying, and I'd like to raise more pullets. I've purchased two batches over the past two years, and the ratio has been like 11 roos, and 6 pullets. They always send a few extra. At that rate by the...

Welcome to Oklahoma from Spiro.

Hello Lorrie: Next time shut the coop door, and wait for Cole. Like Trap shooting. When Cody gets ready , and says : " PULL ", you jerk the door open, and stand back.

Ain't that the truth ? He's had to have done that before. It was so obvious that he knew exactly what he was about,

Speaking of Cottontails, I was in the chicken run the other day as the chickens were free ranging, and in through the gate comes a cottontail. I didn't move as he eased his way over the the feeder, and had a good helping of laying pellets, then, turned and went back out the gate. Beat all I...

I'm sorry for your loss Poco Pollo. At the same time, that is my fear also. I've got a pen full of chicks, and knowing snakes can squeeze through the tiniest holes, I'm hoping and praying I don't find myself in that situation.

Just hours old; 3 Jap White Blacktails from 7 eggs out of the refrigerator. Broody 1 yr old bantam RIRed hatched them.

Hello NanaKat : Yup; real close .... It's an old pump .22 caliber with an external cocking hammer. I use tiny #12, bird shot that's so small it won't damage metal, and may not penetrate into wood, but it's deadly to snakes , rats, and mice at a distance up to 10 feet. 6 foot long are size...

Bull Snake: Hello Poco Pollo: Looks like a big Rat Snake. When they get that big it's time to get rid of them.

Snakes ! So far they haven't struck here this year. Size of chicken doesn't matter to a snake. I've lost adult hens that were strangled to death by large rat snakes. Killed two in the act, with several dead chickens laying on the ground. My theory is that these big boys are old, and come...

Friend of mine on another forum lost a hen and all her chicks to a predator last month. That was just the beginning. He couldn't figure out what kind, or even how the critter was getting into his hen house. As a last resort the other day he set up a 'Baby Monitor' in the hen house, and this...

Fireworks are still booming here, but at a slower pace now.

Hello NanaKat: Is that Bob White Quail? What do you raise them for? Just curious.

Hello bardies: Is that an Angus ~ Charlais cross? One Rancher down here has a large heard of Black Angus and a White Bull (Charlais ?). Seems to be the new trend .....

That's sad. I raise rhode island red bantams. Kept what I thought was the best roo out of the bunch, but he must be sterile . Couldn't get one of his eggs to hatch. Cross bred the hens, and the eggs hatched.

Inside the Courthouse = Go to the County Assessor's Office. Should be several very friendly Clerks at their desks who will assist you, and enter you into the farm system on the spot via computer. Happy farming.

Depends if you make crops or raise livestock for profit, and, or if you own or lease the property for agricultural purposes. At the Courthouse you'll fill out a form detailing your farm or ranch equipment, and tractors, if any, for Fuel Tax Exempt I.D.

Amazing.
